PhD Scholarships in Acoustic Signal Processing for Next-generation Human-machine Interface, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

We are inviting highly qualified candidates to apply for fully-funded Ph.D. scholarships in the fields of Acoustic Signal Processing for next-generation human-machine interface. A monthly stipend is included in this package. As a member of the STATINA team, you will conduct state-of-the art research leading to your Ph.D. degree. On top of your Ph.D. degree course work, you will be exposed to a wide variety of research topics particularly in the area of acoustic signal processing.
