-
Predictive biomechanics for aortic dissection prevention
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Do you know: 1 in 2 patients who suffer aortic dissection die before reaching hospital? Join us to use biomechanics & imaging to pioneer new ways to predict and prevent this deadly medical emergency.
-
Decoding gastric electrical activity non-invasively
FULLY FUNDED: Want to turn biomedical signals into a meaningful diagnostic tool? This project develops new computational techniques for personalised, non-invasive assessment of stomach function.
-
Unlock the future of precision cardiology
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Bridge the gap from DNA to Diagnosis. Join the Auckland Bioengineering Institute to build multi-scale computational models that predict how genetic variants reshape human heart function.
-
Data-informed modelling of rumen fermentation
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: We are looking for high-achieving, enthusiastic students to develop new tools to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock.
-
Bond graph model generation from molecular dynamics simulations
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: We seek to create a workflow connecting molecular-scale dynamics to functional physiological behaviour.
-
Deep learning for cardiac medical image analysis
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Join us for a PhD in AI for cardiac CT/MRI analysis, developing deep learning models to improve diagnosis and risk prediction in cardiovascular disease.
-
Closed-loop model predictive control for hypercapnic respiratory failure patients
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Are you passionate about applying cutting-edge modelling and control techniques to transform emergency healthcare?
-
Physics-informed AI for virtual magnetic resonance elastography (vMRE)
FULLY FUNDED: Join our Marsden-funded PhD where you'll lead the development of a "virtual MRE," using physics-informed AI to predict brain tissue properties from diffusion MRI.
-
Development of a wearable electro-impedance tomography system for early breast cancer screening
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Want to study how smart wearable technology can detect breast cancer early? As a PhD student in this project, you’ll help develop a life-saving smart bra that senses disease before symptoms appear.
-
Smart garments for personalised compression therapy
FULLY FUNDED: Want to study wearable sensors that enable your skin to quantify external pressure and deliver personalised compression therapy for lymphoedema?
-
Understanding microneedle-assisted jet injection
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: This project will explore the potential for combining two novel drug delivery techniques: microneedles and jet injection.
-
Developing realistic placental blood vessel virtual phantoms for optimisation of ultrasound scans
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Want to work on improving ultrasound to help pregnancy outcomes? This project will focus on developing phantom blood vessels to simulate placental blood flow for Doppler ultrasound experiments.
