EPSRC Funded PhD Scholarship at Uni. of Sussex 718 views

University of Sussex is offering EPSRC Funded PhD Scholarship in Soft 3D printed structures with integrated flexible electronics.

About the project:
  • Recent advances in materials science and new fabrication processes drive a paradigm shift in electrical and mechanical engineering. Instead of rigid bulky structures such as silicon wafers and metal frames, soft biomimetic approaches are envisioned.
  • The aim of this project is to work on novel electronics concepts by combining deformable structures with flexible electronics to realize adaptable systems with monolithically integrated electronics for sensing applications.
  • This can include interconnections made from liquid metals, soft sensors or deformable transistors. All these elements should be combined to detect parameters relevant for healthcare or soft robotics applications.
  • This project combines electrical and mechanical engineering with material science and innovative fabrication methods. A particular focus will be set on using a recently acquired high resolution Optomec Aerosol Jet printer.
  • Ultimately a smart biomimetic system will be realized using thin film technology and 3D printing of soft rubber materials.

Duration: 3.5 year scholarship

Scholarship value: £15,285 stipend p.a., plus full UK/EU fees.

Eligibility:

  • Applicant must hold Master’s or very good Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Material Science, or a related field.
  • Preferably experience in 3D printing, the fabrication of electronic circuits, or cleanroom processing.
