staff, working over the superfast broadband amongst different in South
Yorkshire locations.
This studentship offers a valuable opportunity to work with the 3D
Graphics and Virtual Reality group at University of Sheffield under
the direction of Daniela Romano, senior Lecture, in a
multidisciplinary team with an industrial partner.
The School of Clinical Dentistry (Dr. Nicolas Martin, Senior Clinical
