Fully Funded PhD Positions in Intelligent Adaptive Control, Biosignal Processing, and Computer Vision for Human Movement Analysis University of Alberta in Canada

Milad Nazarahari, Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta, is still recruiting for fully funded PhD positions in the IDEA Lab within Mechanical Engineering.

The openings are centered on three research directions:

1) Intelligent Adaptive Control for Robotic Rehabilitation — control theory, intelligent control, reinforcement learning, human-in-the-loop systems, and rehabilitation robotics.

2) Biosignal Processing During Human–Robot Interaction — wearable sensing, EEG/EMG/GSR, engagement and motivation estimation, and AI-driven rehabilitation.

3) Computer Vision for Human Movement Analysis — markerless pose tracking, image/video analysis, deep learning, RGB/RGB-D systems, and movement assessment.

This is a student opportunity for applicants interested in robotics, computer vision, biomedical engineering, and AI methods applied to rehabilitation and human movement. The post emphasizes strong applicants and outstanding candidates, but does not list detailed GPA, degree, or language requirements.

Funding is explicitly stated as fully funded. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so candidates should apply as soon as possible.

To apply, use the relevant form for the research area of interest. The poster notes that emails will not be considered, so applicants should not contact the professor by email for this opportunity.
