Title: Quantum 2032 Challenge Scholarship

Youth athletes represent the future medal hopes for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games. To help these young athletes reach their full sporting potential, it is essential to prioritise injury prevention. Our project aims to develop advanced semiconductor-based wearable sensors to measure forces and joint angles with ultrahigh sensitivity. This sensor technology will be applied during functional movement screening to quantify injury risks in pre-elite youth athletes.

We are offering a scholarship opportunity for a motivated PhD student to engage in this groundbreaking research.

Students with a background in mechanical, electrical/electronic, or biomedical engineering and experience in micro/nanotechnology, nanomaterials, semiconductors, and sensors are encouraged to apply.
