Scholarship Provider: IVHM Centre and University Centre Milton Keynes
Scholarship can be taken at: UK

Eligibility: -Applicants should have a first or second UK Honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline such as mechanical engineering, industrial/manufacturing engineering, computer science, software engineering or engineering design.
- Exposure to energy supply management is also desirable.

Scholarship Open for International Students: Yes

Scholarship Description: The electrical infrastructure that serves UK consumers today, despite having evolved to perform efficiently and effectively over more than a hundred years, will require considerable investment and redesign if these targets are to be met. Increasingly, the suite of technological capabilities known as the “Smart Grid” is being seen as the future form of this infrastructure. In the home environment these may allow the management of electricity supply and demand in an optimal way. The “Smart Grid” home may be able to inform the occupants of the best way to consume electricity, and to integrate excess capacity from domestic generation of power back into the grid. Key to these “Smart Grid” technologies achieving success will be acceptance and use of them by the consumer. In this project, you will investigate how to make these technologies work for people in their own homes.

Scholarship Description: Senior researcher for the coordination of a major research project on implantable glucose sensors. UGent is hiring a senior researcher to be coordinator of a major ongoing research project on continuous glucose monitoring on the basis of silicon photonics. This research is part of a Flemish IWT supported project SBO-Glucosens. GlucoSens aims at the development of enabling technologies for continuous glucose monitoring using implantable single-chip optical sensors. The lifetime of commercially available, implantable electro-chemical glucose sensors is limited to a few days mainly due to bio-fouling and fibrous encapsulation. An optical approach can solve this issue. Within Glucosens, we develop the technology to use a silicon photonics chip packaged in a biocompatible material, an optical approach which might enable the extended lifetime.
