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 is substantial evidence that young people in less affluent countries have worse health, well-being, and impaired development than those who live in affluent countries. For instance, many low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) are facing a double burden of malnutrition (DBM), resulting from th...
The general aim of this project is to develop a new generation of non-viral vectors for the delivery of gene and biomolecules. Silica-based composite nanoparticles will be prepared with purpose-designed nanoparticle asymmetry, nanoscale surface roughness and compositions. Their cellular interactions...
Abnormal function within brain networks is a key determinants of seizure generation, spread and termination. Brain networks are also likely to play an important part in determining therapeutic response and in cognitive impairment associated with epilepsy. The combination of high spatial resolution o...
Gasification of coal is now widely recognized as the core of clean coal technologies, particularly in the context of coal-to-liquids (CtL) technologies. There is significant interest on the Indian side, as part of a major government-backed initiative, to develop technology for conversion of high-ash...
In this project, we intend to develop the innovative data-driven techniques for application context aware smart computing and communication strategies at the edge nodes for 5th generation Internet of Things (5G IoT) and beyond communications. The use cases are important from both indoor as well as o...
With continuous increase in the world energy demand and ever-increasing dependency on petroleum, over 86.7 million barrels of petroleum are processed every day in refinery around the world to meet the demand. The declining crude reserves have shifted focus on the natural gas as an alternative supply...
This project proposes to explore the relation between force, violence, non-violence, and resistance at two levels. From an ontological perspective, the task is to consider 'the being of force' to ask how and whether violence (and non-violence) and resistance are located in the categories through whi...
Health Information Technology (IT) Startups have become a booming industry. The phenomenon is global having health IT Startups emerging almost in all countries around the world. India's health IT Startup sector has made a significant impact on the economy. India's goal of reaching a $1 trillion digi...
This research project aims at deepening our understanding of the adoption of automation technologies in the economy, both from a positive and from a normative perspective.
Traditionally, the distribution systems are designed for uni-directional power flow with power source elsewhere and are always connected to transmission system. Also, the changes in system configuration were not too frequent. Introduction of renewable energy based distributed generations (DGs), batt...
