Benchmarking Robotic Tactile Sensors PhD
The Manipulation and Touch Lab at Imperial College London has funding to support a home PhD student on the topic of benchmarking contemporary tactile sensors.
Full details are available at the FindAPhD posting.
Applications must be made via the departmental portal (https://www.imperial.ac.uk/electrical-engineering/study/phd/). Applications received via email will be discarded.
PhD Students
Due to funding constraints we are not currently accepting PhD student applications who do not have a clear scholarship plan. We do not currently have any internal funding apart from the 'Benchmarking Tactile Sensors' opportunity listed above.
PhD students may work on one of the following topics :
- Robotic in hand manipulation
- Robotic tactile sensing
- Novel haptic interfaces
Due to departmental constraints we are ONLY able to consider students with first class or 2:1 degrees.
Applications may be made via the Imperial portal. Please include a research statement rather than a personal statement: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/electrical-engineering/study/phd/
It is recommend to send Ad an email first to discuss which topic you are interested pursuing. His email is a.spiers[at]imperial.ac.uk. Please set the subject to 'MTL PhD'.
Internships
We do not have the resources to support undergraduate internships / UROPs.
PhD internships may be considered if there is funding available (from the candidate's institution) to pay Imperial's hosting fees. More information is available at https://www.imperial.ac.uk/placements/information-for-staff-at-imperial-college-london/hosting/
