This PhD opportunity at Massey University focuses on piecewise-smooth dynamical systems, particularly those that switch between different types of evolution and suffer from the curse of dimensionality. The project is part of a Marsden funded initiative aiming to develop innovative strategies for dimensionality reduction by leveraging degeneracies commonly found in high-dimensional models. These degeneracies, arising from energy conservation, optimisation, and physical constraints, often remain h...

The Dodd-Walls Centre for Photonic and Quantum Technologies is offering a fully funded PhD position focused on the development of Kerr combs in tapered fiber resonators. Optical frequency combs are a Nobel prize-winning technology with transformative applications across science and engineering. The recently developed Kerr frequency comb provides a compact, low-SWaP (size, weight, and power) alternative to traditional mode-locked laser systems, but current platforms are limited in their ability t...

This PhD project at the University of Auckland's Auckland Bioengineering Institute (ABI) focuses on developing a computational workflow to generate thermodynamically consistent bond graph models directly from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of proteins. The aim is to bridge the gap between molecular-level structural dynamics and interpretable, predictive physiological models, providing new tools for understanding disease mechanisms and functional physiological behaviour. Bond graphs offer a ...
