ARC PhD Scholarship in Immersive Data Visualisation One scholarship is available for an exceptional student to complete a PhD in Immersive Data Visualisation supervised by Scientia Professor and ARC Laureate Fellow Dennis Del Favero (UNSW, iCinema Centre, School of Art & Design), Professor Maurice Pagnucco (UNSW, School of Computer Science & Engineering) and A/Professor Tomasz Bednarz (UNSW, EPICentre, School of Art & Design) beginning in 2022. The scholarship is available to undertake postgraduate research in the area of Data Visualisation for AR/VR technologies. The work undertaken by the successful PhD candidate will be closely aligned with the international Australian Research Council funded project ‘Burning Landscapes: Reimagining Unpredictable Scenarios’. This project is part of flagship research currently undertaken at UNSW’s iCinema Centre for Interactive Cinema Research. It aims to practically enable globally distributed users and intelligent systems to collaboratively model unforeseen and multi-located scenarios, such as wildfires, and to visualise these in real time at 1:1 scale. The project will transform how we visually understand, explore and respond to complex and dynamically evolving events.
The project is undertaken in collaboration with a range of national and international academic and industry partners including San José State University (USA) and CSIRO. The PhD candidate will be part of an art, design and technology research team and will contribute to the participatory research process, collaborating directly with numerous fire and creative industry partners. Eligibility details Essential: • meet the UNSW PhD entry requirements • a four-year Bachelor’s degree with Honours Class I from an Australian institution or equivalent research qualification experience or a Masters Degree with a Distinction average. The qualification must be in a field relevant to the proposed area of research. • be able to enrol as a full-time PhD student • practical knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming with C++/C# or similar • Game Development experience with Unity 3D or Unreal Engine (Unity 3D preferred) Desirable: • experience in designing interfaces for AR, VR, and mixed reality • experience working with large datasets • familiarity with graphics pipeline • competence in shader programming • an interest and awareness of digital interaction systems Scholarship Details • The student will receive an annual living allowance of $27,609 for up to 3 years, beginning in 2022, and be allowed to take on external work for up to 2 days per week. • The scholarship is tax exempt.
