About this position

One fully funded PhD position is available at The University Of Manchester, starting in September 2025, supervised by myself and Prof. Henry Yi Li ( https://lnkd.in/d9UCfAdW ). If you are interested, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] before 18th June!
PhD project title: AI-based Design of Smart Textile Exoskeletons for Hand Rehabilitation
The PhD student will work on two key objectives:
1) Develop a novel method to link the geometry and motion of hand captured by 3D/4D scanning to the mechanics of the textiles for exoskeleton design.
2) Build and experimentally evaluate textile exoskeletons using lab-based motion capture, pressure sensing, and Electromyography (EMG) tools to understand user-device interaction and optimize real-world rehabilitation performance.
Eligiblity:
This studentship is open to Home (UK) applicants only. Candidates should hold a relevant Master's degree (or exceptional Bachelor's) in biomedical/mechanical engineering, materials science, or computer science, with experience in mechanical design/textiles and programming (Python/MATLAB). Experience in biosignal analysis or wearable devices is desirable. The position includes full tuition fees and a stipend. International candidates with independent funding arrangements may inquire separately about potential opportunities.
