University of Queensland 2021 PhD Scholarship in Rehabilitation Engineering and Neuromechanics (Australia)

This PhD project will enable robotic devices as medical simulators/haptic displays of neuro-mechanical impairments to better understand the cause and effect of different impairments to both movement and haptic perception. Working knowledge of basic neurophysiology, biomechanical modeling (OpenSim, AnyBody), hands-on experience in robotics (control), motion capture (optical and IMUs), and electromyography would be of benefit to someone working on this project.
