PhD Studentship: Overcoming the Quantification Problem in Deep Raman Spectroscopy using Advanced Optical Metrology and 3D Phantoms
Overview
This PhD studentship focuses on resolving the quantification problem in deep Raman spectroscopy by utilizing advanced optical metrology and three-dimensional phantoms. The project centers on developing hyper realistic, animal-free tissue models to enable quantitative analysis for diverse healthcare applications and future animal studies. The research combines 3D-printed tissue models, time-domain diffuse optical spectroscopy, and computer simulations to measure light propagation and non-invasively quantify drug biodistribution.
What you get
The studentship provides funding for academic fees alongside a stipend of £21,805 per annum for the 2026/7 period. The position is offered as a full-time, fixed-term contract based in the United Kingdom within the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Exeter.
How to apply
Applications must be submitted by the closing date of 2026-12-08.
