- Are you passionate about a career in research?
- Want to access CSIRO's world-class facilities and staff?
- Apply for a CSIRO PhD Top-Up Scholarship now!
CSIRO’s Postgraduate Top-Up Scholarship Program provides enhanced opportunities in science and engineering for outstanding graduates enrolling each year at Australian tertiary institutions as postgraduates for research leading to the award of a PhD. CSIRO’s Data61 is currently offering a PhD Top-up Scholarship for PhD students in 3D Computer vision and machine learning for 3D manufacturing.
CSIRO PhD Top-Up Scholarships are available to postgraduate students who have gained (or expect to gain), first or upper second class honours or equivalent, in relevant research areas. Students must also in receipt of, or expect to receive, a Research Training Program (RTP) scholarship or an equivalent primary scholarship commencing in 2021 or early 2022. Joint supervision of students by a university and a CSIRO supervisor is required and such joint supervisory arrangements must be consistent with the Higher Degree by Research Regulations of the host university. The students’ research will be co-supervised by CSIRO and university researchers.
A CSIRO PhD Top-Up Scholarship is a supplementary award, which add to the student’s support from a principal scholarship awarded by another body, e.g. RTP scholarship. In all respects recipients of awards will be regarded as students of the University at which they are registered, and all rules relating to degree candidature and the primary award will apply. In particular, recipients will undertake research at CSIRO as a student of the university concerned and will not be employees of CSIRO.
Recipients of CSIRO PhD Top-Up Scholarships are generally required to be Australian citizens or permanent residents. However, in fields in which there is a national skill shortage, awards may be awarded to overseas candidates.
Project Title: 3D Computer vision and machine learning for 3D manufacturing
Project Details: This project will explore novel 3D computer vision and AI approaches to the fundamental problem of 3D manufacturing or 3D printing. Traditional 3D printing is a one-way process without feedback to correct for mistakes, leading to a high failure rate, low accuracy and low speed. This problem leads to difficulty to use, high cost, low quality, and inflexibility in design and operation.
Adopting and developing suitable 3D computer vision and machine learning techniques will enable 3D printing to increase speed and quality. Recent developments in this direction give great promise to tackle this problem and positively impact a range of industries. However, more research is required to allow the approach to work with different 3D printing methods and materials, particularly solving the problem of high-speed imaging and/or high accuracy, limited space, challenging optical properties. The PhD candidate will review the 3D reconstruction, machine learning and 3D printing techniques, then work with supervisors and stakeholders to develop and experiment with different approaches. Finally, apply the solutions to CSIRO's science and industrial applications.
