EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Advanced Engineering for Personalised Surgery & Intervention
Our ambition is to train 100+ research students over the CDT’s lifetime. Their work will make a profound contribution to the UK’s research and entrepreneurial capabilities in surgical and interventional health technologies.
2025 Applications
Join the EPSRC CDT in Advanced Engineering for Personalised Surgery & Intervention
We are now accepting applications for 1 June and 1 October 2025 entry points from home and overseas students that wish to carry out PhD research training at King’s College London. Our newly established Centre for Doctoral Training in AE-PSI offers PhD projects on:
- Smart Surgical Instruments and Active Implants, including surgical robotics, advanced imaging systems, and human/machine implantable interfaces.
- Surgical Data Science, including creation of clinical decision support systems and interventional imaging analysis.
- Digital Surgical Twins, including patient specific models that allow for in silico training and outcome prediction.
Our CDT scholarships cater for students requiring further technical skills development through an MRes, and for students that can directly embark on PhD research.
A glimpse of the type of projects that are available can be viewed by clicking the link below.
This webpage will be updated with new projects, which will be communicated to all our applicants.
Informal email enquiries from interested students to the leadership team are encouraged: SIE-PhD@kcl.ac.uk
Please note there are several other funded opportunities in Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences. Find out more.
“Our EPSRC CDT in Advanced Engineering for Personalised Surgery & Intervention provides an unparalleled opportunity for our research students to be fully immersed within an active hospital setting and closely examine patient pathways throughout their training.”
Partner with us
Being hosted at the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences (Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine) and with key contribution from the Department of Engineering (Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences), our cross-faculty EPSRC CDT in Advanced Engineering for Personalised Surgery & Intervention benefits from a rich multidisciplinary environment and unique state-of-the-art infrastructure. We have an excellent track record in working closely with international academic and industrial partners, co-developing research projects to achieve maximum impact for all stakeholders.
