- Solid background in Math and/or Physics
- Experience in cyber-physical system (CPS) development, hardware-software integration, and embedded system design
- Practical experience in PCB circuit design and firmware and software development
- Experience with data mining and practical implementation of Deep Learning libraries
Benefits of being a member of our lab:
- Full support of tuition and stipend for your Ph.D. adventure
- Full support of travel fee to attend conferences if you have accepted papers
- Opportunities to publish and receive awards at top conferences
- Opportunities to broaden your networking with experts and professors in the related field of research projects
The mCyPhi Lab is a vibrant and collaborative research environment dedicated to exploring the frontiers of technology in various domains. We currently run many projects in diverse topics ranging from human mental health (e.g., attention quantification in education), serious health problems (e.g., hearing damage prevention) to environmental study (e.g., wildlife study).
By joining our team, you will have access to state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge resources, and a supportive community of researchers and experts. Therefore, you will be well-prepared with a diverse and complete skill set in all theoretical modeling, device development, and system implementation. You will also acquire a broad knowledge of mobile sensing, mobile applications, biomedical engineering, healthcare systems, wearable computing, etc. You will also be trained with important skills such as problem formulation, oral presentation, technical writing, time management and planning, proposal writing, collaboration, and more, which are critical to your career’s future success in academia and industry.
Please refer to our publications to get a general understanding of my research topics. Please send your CV, transcripts, and TOEFL/IELTS to Dr. Anh Nguyen via anh {dot} nguyen {at} umontana {dot} edu if you are interested. Further discussion if selected for a remote interview.
