PhD: Quantitative DRS with Realistic Animal-Free Phantoms

University of Exeter; Devon and Torbay; On-site; GBP 20,000 - 24,000; Full time

Job summary

University of Exeter, Devon and Torbay, UK, seeks a PhD student to develop hyper-realistic animal-free phantoms for quantitative deep Raman spectroscopy (DRS).

The project will integrate time-domain diffuse optical spectroscopy, 3D-printed tissue phantoms, and Monte Carlo simulations to quantify light transport and biodistribution in future healthcare studies. The studentship includes a stipend and covers fees.

Responsibilities

• Develop a time-domain diffuse optical spectroscopy device to quantify optical properties.
• Create 3D-printed tissue phantoms that mimic living tissue optical properties.
• Combine high-resolution photogrammetry with Monte Carlo modelling to simulate light propagation through complex 3D geometries.
