AUT012 - Investigating skin stretch as a source of motion artefact in biopotential measurements

Description: This research forms part of the larger MBIE funded research programme which aims to deliver novel technologies for long-term, ambulatory and wearable biopotential monitoring. Particular focus will be on quantifying the effect of skin’s electrical response and its variations during ambulatory biopotential measurements.

Skills requirement: A background in mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, biomedical 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: School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences

Type: Master of Engineering or PhD, Expressions of Interest

Scholarship: A stipend of $25k per year for 3 years (PhD) or 1 year (master's) will be available for suitable candidates. A fee waiver may also be offered, subject to conditions
