本期为大家推荐南洋理工大学、悉尼科技大学2026最新奖学金项目介绍。
1、南洋理工大学
Assess and manipulate biological nitrogen fixation in legumes
National University of Singapore | Department of Biological Sciences

About the Project
Diffusion-based generative models for images such as Ho et al. (2020), Dockhorn et al. (2021) have made significant impact, and nowadays become routinely used in smartphones.
An interesting potential application of such methods for Machine Learning applications is to use them to increase the diversity of existing datasets via generative data augmentation, allowing us to provide better performance, or similar level of performance with much less labelled training data.
Although there have been promising initial results in this area such as Zheng et al (2023), this is not yet completely understood, and there are still significant improvements needed in computational efficiency before such methods can be widely adopted.
We will develop new algorithms that will be numerically evaluated on various machine learning test problems. These methods will improve the consistency and computational scalability of generative data augmentation.
Explainability and uncertainty quantification will be considered as well.
In addition to algorithmic advances, the project will also develop a mathematical theory showing consistency results for our methods.
Students with strong computational and mathematical backgrounds are encouraged to contact me directly at daniel.paulin@ntu.edu.sg. You can find out more about my research at my website https://sites.google.com/site/paulindani/.
A fully funded NTU Research Scholarship is available for this project,

For international applicants, this is 2700 SGD for the first year, and 3200 SGD later on after passing the required courses and doing an oral presentation about the research plans.
Applications for an August 2025 start will be considered until the 15th of May, 2025.
2、悉尼科技大学
Resolving mechanisms of cell division across the tree of life
University of Technology Sydney | Faculty of Science
博导：Assoc Prof Iain Duggin
截止日期：September 14, 2025 周天
资助的博士项目（全球学生）
About the Project
Resolving mechanisms of cell division across the tree of life
What are the principles and variations of cell division mechanisms in archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes, and how can we use this in future? In this project we aim to advance our understanding of how archaeal cell division works at the molecular and cellular levels, and how this compares to other major cell types in the tree of life. It will utilize modern methods of molecular and cellular biology, including live-cell superresolution fluorescence imaging and protein function studies in vivo and in vitro. You will become part of a collegial and enthusiastic team of researchers working towards the goals of an Australian Research Council Discovery Project.
