PhD Research Project Opportunities in Biomedical Engineering
Research in Biomedical Engineering at Swinburne covers a wide range of topics from biomaterials and surface engineering, macro and micro fluidics, micro and nanoscale fabrication techniques, applied optics through to biological engineering, medical and biological imaging techniques and the creation of biomimetic systems. Our work draws on resources and academics from across the faculty and an increasing number of industry partners.
At present we are seeking students with strong backgrounds in engineering, any physical science, microbiology or physiology and an willingness to work at the interface between disciplines to undertake PhD research in the following areas:
- ARC Training Centre in Biodevices With strong links to the medical device industry, the ARC Training Centre in Biodevices is developing the next generation of industry-ready researchers and leaders.
- CMP Biophotonics Projects The Centre for Micro-Photonics has a wide range of Biophotonics Postgraduate Projects in the areas of Cell Biophysics (CBP), Industrial Research (IR), Advanced Nano/Biophotonics (ANB), Cell Biology laboratory (CB) and Nanotrapping and Super-Resolution (NAS).
- Tissue Engineering Tissue Engineering is a newly emerging multidisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life sciences to develop techniques for generating tissue substitutes to restore, maintain or improve the function of diseased or damaged human tissues
