Graduate Student Opportunities
Conduct your thesis research in a founding institute with direct access to operational infrastructure. Join projects deployed in real facilities, supervised by faculty who are building V-SENSE's research agenda from scratch.
Graduate Student Programs
V-SENSE graduate programs (PhD and Master's) are designed around research in deployed systems. Your thesis work happens in real environments—your algorithms run on hardware in buildings, hospitals, and homes. You'll work closely with faculty advisors in a small founding cohort with personalized mentorship.
PhD Program (4–5 years)
- Full tuition coverage plus monthly stipend (~$1,500–$2,000 USD equivalent)
- Research budget for equipment, supplies, and conference travel
- Coursework in core topics and specialized electives across sensing research tracks
- Qualifying exams demonstrating research depth
- Thesis research in deployed systems with real operational validation
- Dissertation defense and publication in top-tier venues
- Career mentorship toward faculty or senior research positions
Master's Program (2 years)
- Tuition support and research funding based on merit and faculty advising capacity
- Thesis or non-thesis track options
- Advanced coursework in sensing, systems design, or artificial intelligence
- Research project in collaboration with faculty
- Preparation for PhD studies or industry research roles
- Conference presentation opportunities
What You'll Work On
- System design and hardware development for sensing applications
- Algorithm development and signal/data processing
- Field studies and real-world deployment of research systems
- Rigorous experimental validation and scientific analysis
- Publication of research findings in top-tier venues
- Cross-disciplinary collaboration with peers across research tracks
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree (or Master's for direct PhD admission) in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related field
- Strong academic record and demonstrated research interest
- Aptitude for both theoretical and experimental work
- Ability to work independently and collaborate with teams
- Commitment to rigorous experimental validation and publication
