Closing Date:<\/strong> Sunday, January 19, 2020<\/p>\n

In this project you will work on the development of multifunctional fibre-based microscopes, with a particular focus on recovering phase information through fibres via computational imaging and holography techniques. Building on results from a recent EPSRC grant on ultrathin needle microscopes<\/a>, you will develop new approaches to fibre-based microscopes and work with collaborators on validation studies in areas such as tissue imaging, microfluidics and fast cell imaging. This will require a mix of laboratory work (optics and optoelectronics), numerical modelling in Matlab or Python, development of software for real-time visualisation and processing, and performing validation studies.<\/p>\n

The exact programme of work can be tailored to the student, but the ideal candidate would be a graduate in engineering, physics, computing or a related subject with interests and skills in imaging, electronics or computing, and a desire to work in the lab developing practical devices.<\/p>\n

The successful candidate will be based at the University of Kent\u2019s main campus in Canterbury as part of the Applied Optics Group<\/a>, and work under the supervision of Dr Michael Hughes. Occupying two floors of the University\u2019s Photonics Centre, with the use of modern optical laboratories<\/a> as well as clean-room and workshop facilities, the Applied Optics Group offers a wide range of optical prototyping and test and measurement equipment to support the project. The group is highly active in biomedical optics research, with regular seminars<\/a> and international visitors, a programme of outreach activities<\/a> and an active OSA (Optical Society) student chapter<\/a>, providing a stimulating research and training environment.<\/p>\n

This PhD Studentship is due to start in September 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Entry requirements and Funding: Applicants should have or expect to obtain a first or upper second class honours degree (or equivalent) in Physics, Engineering, Computing or a related subject.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
