Graduate Study and Research Opportunities in our Group

Algorithms for machine vision, solid modeling, and robot motion planning are largely dominated by geometric concepts. The development of these algorithms requires extensive insight into the relationship between geometric concepts and computational structures. Many Computer Graphics Scientists and Mechanical Engineers  have encountered or intend to create such algorithms for new applications. Therefore, new research opportunities always arise in this area.

We are always seeking students with good knowledge in mechanical engineering, computer graphics and mathematics to study in our group in Barcelona towards a higher degree. There are quite a number of scholarships available each year. Some are for Spanish students, e.g. FPI awarded by the CICYT (the Spanish "Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología") and the FI awarded by the DURSI (the Catalan "Departament d'Universitats, Recerca i Societat de la Informació"); the others are for overseas students such as those awarded by the AECI. Also, the European Union has set aside a large sum of fund to support research grants through the TMR programme. All the scholarships are awarded purely on academic merits alone.

If you feel that you have a strong academic background and are interested in the subject, please contact us for further information.

In addition, we also have schemes for visiting students and academics. Some final year undergraduates from the EU have completed their graduate projects here.
