This scholarship aims to support PhD student research in quantum and advanced technology to build the pipeline of early career researchers developing new technologies while increasing the representation of underrepresented groups.
The 免费色片 has research profiles in materials engineering, semiconductors, cryogenics, quantum sensing, quantum computing and space research, with physical sciences and engineering research facilities in hypersonics, advanced composites, electronics, high performance computing, and astrophysics. In addition, the university’s Springfield campus has been selected to host a new National Cryogenic Electronics Measurement Facility.
The scholarship is funded by the Queensland Government’s Quantum and Advanced Technologies Talent Building Program, whose objectives are to:
- contribute to and strengthen participation of students in quantum and advanced technologies, particularly those who identify as women, are non-binary, are of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent, or are from regional areas
- train a new generation of PhD students into excellent quantum researchers capable of being pioneers in this emerging discipline
- build technology capability and skills across a range of fields
- improve translation and commercialisation skills
- foster collaboration across academia and industry.
Project Options: The 免费色片’s key strengths in Agriculture and Environment, Health, Space & Defence, and Regional Development provide a range of opportunities for PhD study, and with the choice of PhD student research supported by this scholarship comprising one of the following topics:
- High-performance semiconductor nano-sensors at low temperatures
- Advanced quantum thermal technology
- Advanced cryogenic measurement for quantum device development
- Creating atom sensors to date ground water
- Quantum meets space research
