The Academy joint PhD research projects are well defined and developed by a collaborative team of researchers at UQ and IITD. Selected PhD students working on a project will be supervised by a joint supervision team of UQ and IITD academics.
To apply, select a ’Position Open’ project. You can nominate up to two projects in your EOI form.
An investigation into how different pipeline construction technologies affect slurry transportation pipeline efficiency.
The experimental protocols designed as part of this PhD will be implemented and studied in the laboratory. IITD is building an experiment that will trap arrays of many single ultra-cold cesium atoms, each of which can be individually controlled and manipulated. Long-range interactions can be introdu...
Automation in project inspection and monitoring helps the stakeholders to efficiently save the projects from time and cost overrun. This project aims to develop an interface by which the construction project managers monitor the progress of the project with the help of the data collected from UAVs.
In this project we will develop Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning (AI/ML) techniques towards climate research. As any other physical system, climate also offers a possibility to work with these data-based techniques that can help tackle climate change.
The proposed work aims to establish advanced eco-friendly technologies for extraction of critical minerals such as lithium and rare earth elements. Advanced tools including atomic force microscopy and molecular modelling, combined with floation techniques will be used to achieve this goal.
This project aims to develop novel, liquid-helium-free, locally reacted superconducting splices for lightweight MRI magnets. These splices will ensure persistent mode operation, enabling high-resolution imaging and reducing costs during power outages, ultimately lowering operational expenses
Cancer remains one of the most significant health challenges globally. The project aims to engineer liposome formulations that improve the efficacy of antigenic cancer immunotherapy by encapsulating peptides within lipid bilayers, enhancing bioactive stability, targeted delivery, and immune response
The wake flow behind offshore wind turbine is highly complex and influences wind farm power generation. This project will explore wind tunnel, wind-wave tunnel and numerical simulation methods for modelling offshore wind turbine wakes to better understand their flow physics and modelling techniques.
The project's goal is to modify a high precipitate-fraction containing Ni-superalloy, CM247LC, with excellent creep resistance but prone to cracking during additive manufacturing in order to improve printability by alloying additions. The alloy would be then comapred with existing superalloys.
Growing cells in 3D culture can more efficiently produce therapeutics and realistic drug testing models than current industry methods. Using microfabrication and live microscopy, this PhD engineers 3D culture platforms and computer software amendable for biopharmaceutical high content screening.
