About this position
PhD scholarship opportunity at Adelaide University through the ARC Training Centre for Current and Emergent Quantum Technologies (QuTech).
The highlighted project is Bacterial Sterilisation Using Quantum Light, supervised in the QuTech program and linked to real-world healthcare innovation with Lindo. The research sits at the intersection of physics, biology, biomedical engineering, medical science, and photonics, with a focus on antimicrobial blue light and chemical-free disinfection of hospital plumbing.
The project aims to develop the Lindo Drain, a retrofittable insert that continuously disinfects hospital sink drains and reduces antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The post describes the work as a scalable solution with strong translational impact, targeting infection control in healthcare settings.
This is a fully funded PhD scholarship. The scholarship information on the QuTech site states a stipend of $36,161 per year (indexed annually) plus a $10,000 top-up per year, for up to 3.5 years.
