Three Year Fully Funded EPSRC Studentship
Ambient and ubiquitous designs for context-aware navigation
This is a fully funded three year PhD studentship. The overall aim of
the project is to explore ways in which navigation services can be
personalised and made more context-aware. This project will address
several questions related to the interplay of technology and real world
in creating personalised services, and the nature and usability of
technology and the interaction mechanisms used. This studentship will
provide a very exciting opportunity for a dedicated individual to
advance their knowledge and skills
in this cutting edge area.
The Department of Geomatic Engineering at University College London has
many leading researchers working in the areas of global positioning
systems, geospatial interoperability and mobile location based services.
The research will be supervised by Dr Pragya Agarwal at UCL and the
student will join the GIS Research Group. The Department of Geomatic
Engineering also runs a highly successful Masters in Geographic
Information Science and the successful candidate will also have the
opportunity to attend relevant modules on this course. The studentship
is part funded by Arup, a global design business and consulting firm,
and the student will also have the opportunity to work closely with
researchers in ubiquitous computing at their London office as part of
this project.
EPSRC guidelines require candidates to be British nationals or UK
residents for a minimum of three years, with a good first degree, and
preferably a Masters degree, in geoinformatics, geography, computer
science or related fields. The project will require programming skills
for development of interactive systems and interfaces, some prior
knowledge of GIS and also relevant interest and/or experience in
designing and carrying out human subject experiments, whether in the
field or a lab.
Applications should be sent in form of detailed CV and a summary of
research interests along with names/addresses of two referees to Dr
Pragya Agarwal.
Details are given below. Informal queries regarding the studentship can
also be addressed to Dr P Agarwal. Closing Date: 30 November 2006.
