Project opportunity
This Earmarked Scholarship project is aligned with a recently awarded Category 1 research grant. It offers you the opportunity to work with leading researchers and contribute to large projects of national significance.
This project is about developing next-generation diagnostic tools in sleep medicine. It will involve the application of biomedical engineering signals processing and/or artificial intelligence and/or mathematical modelling of physiology to very large international clinical and research datasets to develop and validate improved methods of evaluating Obstructive Sleep Apnoea severity.
The successful candidate will benefit from excellent mentorship and opportunities for international academic and industry collaboration and researcher exchange.
