Defence Innovation Network Postgraduate Research Supplementary Scholarship

This scholarship has been established to provide financial assistance to a PhD student who is undertaking research related to Development of Failure Mode Recognition Methods for UAV Propulsion Systems. The scholarship is funded by the Defence Innovation Network (DIN) and provides supplementary funding to support doctoral research in the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering at the University of Sydney. The scholarship is valued at $5,500 per annum for up to three years, subject to satisfactory academic performance. It is designed to supplement a primary scholarship that provides a stipend allowance at the Research Training Program (RTP) rate. Recipients must be supervised by Associate Professor Nicholas John Lawson and conduct research specifically focused on the Development of Failure Mode Recognition Methods for UAV Propulsion Systems. This is a supplementary scholarship that requires applicants to already hold a primary scholarship from the University of Sydney. The award is made on the basis of academic merit and the relevance of the research proposal to the specified area of study. Recipients must maintain satisfactory progress through annual evaluations and remain enrolled full-time in their PhD program.
