Summary:
Applications are invited for a fully-funded 3.5 year PhD studentship to develop novel optical sensing instrumentation and electronics. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated candidate with a strong academic record to set themselves up for a career within the development of electronics and instrumentation. This position is ideally suited to a candidate who wishes to develop expertise in the design of electronics and associated instrumentation, specifically related to optical sensing based applications. During the project, the candidate will be given opportunities to work with a wide range of collaborators, both within academia and in industry. Upon the completion of the PhD, the candidate will be ideally placed to pursue a successful career within electronics and instrumentation in either academia or industry.
Project Description:
Optical sensing is used within a wide range of instrumentation, including thermal imaging, radiation thermometry, Lidar and hyperspectral imaging. During the course of this PhD, the candidate will develop instrumentation for one or more of these themes, assessing it for different applications. The developed instrumentation will enable new capabilities within optical sensing and measurement, leading to the accumulation of knowledge as well as overcoming various measurement challenges. One key application is that of high value manufacturing. High quality measurement data is critical within this application in order to ensure that high quality material is manufactured and that the process is optimised; this latter aspect is critical for the reduction of the process’ carbon footprint. Results will be disseminated in high quality journal papers, and the candidate will have the opportunity to present their research at conferences.
The project is expected to involve the development of electronic circuitry and instrumentation related to the optical sensor at its core, along with the application of the developed instrumentation. However, the candidate will be empowered to utilise or develop skills within various other related instrumentation disciplines. This may include, but not limited to: analogue electronics, digital electronics, software, mechanics and optics. There will also be opportunities for the candidate to incorporate printed photonics within the instrumentation, using the research group’s in-house aerosol jet printer. The candidate will be supported within their research by an experienced team of multi-disciplinary researchers; team working and collaboration are highly valued traits within the research group.
About the Research Group:
The project will take place within the Sensor Systems Group within the Electronic and Electrical Engineering department. The group specialises in the development of novel optical sensor based instrumentation, for both academic and industrial application. The group work with several industrial collaborators, including Tata Steel and Rolls-Royce. The candidate will benefit from working within a large research group, learning from experienced members of staff and other PhD students, from a diverse range of backgrounds and disciplines.
Academic Requirements:
Applicants should have, or expect to achieve, at least a 2:1 Bachelors/Masters Honours degree in Electronic Engineering, Physics or a closely related discipline. The student should have skills in, or would like to develop skills in, electronics design related to measurement instrumentation. The studentship is available to home applicants only, and will start in October 2022.
