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.
This PhD project in theoretical physics will conceive and model potential experiments to generate and utilise many-body coherence and entanglement for demonstrating new concepts in quantum thermodynamics in arrays of tens of individual ultracold Rydberg atoms being realised in the IITD laboratory.
We aim to develop an AI platform for ECG-based cardiac disease detection. Transforming ECG data into tensor domains enables the study of hidden signal signatures, offering greater diagnostic fidelity. This allows routine and point-of-care diagnoses, benefiting medical professionals and patients.
Lattice-based digital materials are structural materials designed by combining lattices of varying shapes and sizes to achieve tailored functional and structural properties. Additive manufacturing serves as a key enabler to create these highly sophisticated and complex lattice digital materials.
This project aims to develop design guidelines and mitigation strategies for fire safety and resilience of various structural types in the Wildland-Urban Interface through a detailed literature review, the development of fire scenarios, and advanced structural-fire analyses.
This project aims to develop and evaluate the feasibility of an evidence-based, culturally appropriate, integrated motor and cognitive assistive technology-based rehabilitation intervention such as VR to improve the quality of life in stroke survivors in clinical settings in India.
The increasing prevalence of battery fires poses a significant threat to fire safety, particularly in the context of aerospace and transport applications. This project aims to explore, experimentally and numerically, the consequences of battery fires and provide guidance to mitigate such hazards.
Global warming stands as one of humanity's most pressing challenges. This project aims to develop sustainable and cost-effective electroactive materials to mitigate CO2 emissions via energy-efficient electrochemical methods, making it a viable solution for addressing global climate challenges.
This project aims to combine therapeutic anticancer vaccine candidates developed at UQ with chemotherapeutic approach using both known therapeutics and newly developed anticancer agents at IITD. The project intends to identify feasible combination strategy for clinical use.
This project will develop therapies for HPV+ Head & Neck cancers by commercially available drugs and synthesising compounds targeting CRISPR/Cas9-validated genes. Through in silico, in vitro testing, and humanised mouse models, we will identify effective treatments for clinical application.
This project aims to model, analyze and predict the transport of pollutants and debris in dam break and swash flows. Fundamental understanding of the mechanics of the entrainment and propagation of particles at the dry-wet wave front boundary is sought through experiments and numerical simulations.
