PhD Studentship
Design of future complex microsystems
Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (IMRC)
Academic Supervisors: Dr Ashutosh Tiwari and Dr Jeffrey Alcock

Duration: Three years

Supported by the EPSRC through Cranfield University's Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (IMRC), a studentship of up to £12,600 p.a. for 3 years plus fees* is available.

Cranfield University currently has a vacancy for a high-calibre graduate to undertake an exciting PhD research project in the area of the design of future complex microsystems. The successful candidate will form part of a project team undertaking research in this new area.

Future microsystems, such as complex biomedical microdevices, will incorporate many subsections, each of which is likely to have mechanical, electrical, thermal, electrostatic and/or fluidic interactions with other parts of the design. Hence, a change in design of one device sub-section will usually require changes in design of many other sub-sections of the device.

The PhD project seeks to build a new design methodology for future microsystems that can analyse and successfully deal with this in-built level of complexity
