Funded PhD Position In Wearable Technologies And Ubiquitous Computing

The Wearable Technologies Laboratory (Dr. Daniel Roggen,http://www.sussex.ac.uk/strc/research/wearable), part of the Sensor Technology Research Centre at the University of Sussex (UK), is looking for candidates for a PhD in the field of Wearable/Mobile/Ubiquitous Computing and Activity/Context Recognition.

As wearables become accepted by the general public, there is a tremendous potential to use them as smart assistive devices that can react to specific user activities, contexts and needs. Developments in flexible electronics also opens up new possibilities for wearables and implantables.

PhD Topics: 

• Open-ended activity and context awareness in wearable computing
• Wearable technologies and applications
• Low-power contextual awareness in flexible wearable electronics

Scholarship value: Ideal candidates have master's degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or equivalent. They have a very strong interest in research and outstanding technical skills. They have a passion to contribute to the development of next generation wearable systems, and a strong interest in research at the crossroads of signal processing and machine learning, embedded systems, sensor technologies and their applications. They should be committed to publish research results and to obtain a doctoral degree. Additionally, we expect mastery of written and spoken English, self-motivation, an inquiring mind, be able to work independently and in an interdisciplinary environment.
