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.
There are multiple traditional geometric problems in computer vision such as camera pose estimation, 3D reconstruction depth estimation, and tracking for which strong mathematical models and efficient, robust algorithms have been known for decades. Recently with the popularity of deep learning, rese...
Photo-detectors convert light into electrical signals. They are used in electronic imaging applications in cameras, automobile sensors, medical imaging, and robotics. The global market for image sensors is estimated to reach $15 billion/annum by 2020. The field of organic-inorganic hybrid photodiode...
The project aims are to examine the potential of using honey production in rural communities as a tool for enhancing biodiversity conservation and saving threatened species. The project will examine and map native rhino, elephant and other large mammal conservation and hunting in the Indian sub-cont...
Electronic waste (e-waste) is the fastest growing waste stream with an annual growth rate of about 3–5%. E-waste generated in 2016 was 44.7 million tonnes and it is expected to grow to 52.2 million tonnes by 2021. Unregulated accumulation or dumping of e-waste can cause severe health and environme...
Civil engineering infrastructure facilities experience large-scale damage due to the movement of foundations resting on problematic soils. Documented evidence shows that the existing problems associated with expansive clay is world-wide, having occurred in countries such as, Africa, Australia, India...
The naturalistic audio-visual paradigms such as those used in Neurocinematics (Hasson et al., 2004; Hasson et al., 2008), along with newer Machine Learning and Statistical Data Analysis techniques are promising for accurate localization of function in epileptic patients..
This project will investigate the regulation of digital platforms in India and Australia and in particular the challenges and opportunities related to the Equalisation Levy, an attempt to levy a Google Tax.
This project will specifically explore the relationship between social movements and their uses of/relationships with media/information/technologies in India. Dealing with both independence and post-independence social movements in India, it will provide doctoral candidates the opportunities to expl...
This project intends extending the current knowledge on social enterprises to the emergent digital technology context. Social enterprises have emerged in the broader social entrepreneurship literature as a viable organizational format that will pursue dual social and commercial value creation t...
Significant importance of the nanoscale provides an important role for computer-aided design of polymer composites. The focus will be on development of a multi-scale approach for screening of optimal formulation compositions for polymer blend nanocomposites to meet a given set of target properties.
