AUT002 - Development of advanced, novel biopotential sensor platform for NZ health-tech companies

Description: This project will form part of a larger research programme which aims to deliver multiple, highly novel technologies to make possible easy-to-use, long-term, wearable sensors. In particular the programme has a focus on EEG, EMG and ECG biopotential sensing. The research programme is supported by a large MBIE funded grant and involves several NZ research and commercial partners

Skill requirements: A background in mechanical, electrical or mechatronic engineering, physics, biomedical science or chemistry is required. Experience and interest in embedded systems, mechatronics, signal processing, electromagnetic physics, soft tissue mechanics, bioelectrical modelling, micro-fabrication or related field is desirable.

Department: Institute of Biomedical Technologies
Type: PhD or masters, expressions of interest

Scholarship: The successful student will receive a stipend of $25k per annum for 3 years (for PhD) or 1 year (for masters). A fee waiver may also be offered to suitable candidates, subject to conditions.

Applicants will need to satisfy the admission criteria for AUT’s PhD programme and hold an appropriate visa at the time of application.
