The student will adopt a portfolio approach to their research and will benefit from the opportunity of exposure to a number of different photonics research areas and industrial collaborators. The student will commence on a project looking to develop an optical microfluidic-silicon chip diagnostic platform for the point-of-care detection of antibiotic susceptibility. In the first instance, the technology is being developed to investigate antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria involved in urinary tract infection. This is a project already underway for development of a benchtop instrument. A follow-on project will be to develop of a hand-held instrument for the same application but using a different optical waveguide structure that has been developed in the IOP.In addition, there will be the opportunity for the student to be immersed in other FCAP industry facing projects under the health and life sciences theme, amongst others.

学生将采用组合方法进行研究，并将受益于接触许多不同的光子学研究领域和工业合作者的机会。学生将开始一个项目，希望开发一个光学微流控硅芯片诊断平台，用于抗生素敏感性的即时检测。首先，该技术正在开发中，以调查与尿路感染有关的细菌的抗生素敏感性。这是一个已经在进行的开发台式仪器的项目。后续项目将是为相同的应用开发手持式仪器，但使用IOP开发的不同光波导结构。此外，学生将有机会沉浸在健康和生命科学主题下的其他FCAP行业面临的项目中。
