Paid HDR Research Internship Opportunity (Melbourne or remote)
Enhance detectors that record particles from space and the software that uses these to scan deep underground
About the industry partner: Copy mDetect uses muons to provide intelligence on the internal structure of buildings and infrastructure as well as subterranean and submarine features. Built around small, robust and cost-effective devices, we provide the most adaptable and deployable technology platform to revolutionise your detection capabilities.
Research to be conducted: mDetect has created a range of tools to design, manufacture, and utilise detectors that can see particles from space. The company also uses supercomputers to model how these particles move through solid matter. This project will bring together all of these disparate into an integrated pipeline, with clear and thorough documentation and unit testing, and a more robust detector response process.
Applications are reviewed regularly and this internship may be filled prior to the advertised closing date of 14th August 2024 if a suitable applicant is identified. Early submissions are encouraged.
