The Sensor CDT is an interdisciplinary, research-focussed, training programme designed for outstanding students. As sensor technologies are developed to help us understand our uncertain world, it is more important than ever that we train the next generation of responsible researchers and future leaders.
Sensor research is undertaken in many disciplines, and the CDT reflects this. From sensing single molecules in living cells to the sensors used in connected mobile devices, the University of Cambridge plays a world-leading role in fundamental scientific research and novel technology development. We also work closely with our industrial partners and policymakers to understand training needs and methods for creating innovation.
From the start of the MRes to the end of the PhD, our students work across several departments in the University, supported by leading experts. The course is an active one - students engage in coursework and experimental projects individually and in teams as they supplement taught lectures with rigorous experimental training. They become pioneers in interdisciplinary research and push the boundaries of sensor innovations.
Are you someone who
- wants to learn about science and technology beyond your current expertise?
- aspires to create solutions to understand and improve our world?
- works well in cross-disciplinary teams and as an individual in a community of doctoral students?
