Project description

Sensor antennas are multi-functional systems that integrate sensing and communication capabilities into a single platform. 

Research environment

This project will be located in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), with a world-class intellectual research environment in the discipline of microwave imaging and antenna engineering research.

You will work in a dynamic research group dedicated to applied electromagnetics, with applications in  communications, sensing and biomedical imaging.

You will benefit from access to state-of-the-art facilities, both in terms of computing tools and measurement apparatus, including suites of devices for microwave circuits and antennas characterization.  

Scholarship

This project is supported by the Research project scholarship.

This scholarship includes:

  • living stipend of $37,500 per annum tax free (2026 rate), indexed annually
  • tuition fees covered.

Supervisor

Preferred educational background

Your application will be assessed on a competitive basis.

We take into account your:

  • previous academic record
  • publication record
  • honours and awards
  • employment history.

Fundamental knowledge of applied electromagnetics and working experience with CST simulation tool are required for this project.

You will demonstrate your abilities for development of novel microwave and antenna structures in a highly stimulating research environment and the potential for scholastic success.

A working knowledge of antenna design and practical measurements at microwave frequencies, and characterising material properties is highly desirable.
