Repost appreciated

At Embodied System Lab (https://lnkd.in/gc3Pq_Af) we design power-efficient soft-electronic devices and embodied systems that sense and compute within living organisms, materials, and environments. We publish broadly in Mobile Systems (ACM IMWUT, MobiSys, Sensys), HCI (ACM CHI, UIST), and Physical Science (Nature Flexible Electronics) venues. Our work previously has been recognized with several best paper awards and ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award.

We are looking for motivated students who have passion for any of the following domains and fearless attitude to make impact in the world:
- Novel Sensing
- Bio-electronics
- Low-Power/Battery-free Systems
- Electronic Device Fabrication and Rapid Prototyping
- Computational Fabrication
- Embedded System Design (PCB fab, circuit design)
- Applied Machine Learning
- Smart textiles
- Soft-Robotics and Actuators
- Human Computer Interaction
- Environmental Sensing

You may apply to the NU PhD program in either Northwestern University Computer Science Department or Electrical & Computer Engineering | Northwestern University Department, and list Nivedita Arora as the potential advisor. The deadline for PhD applicants is Sunday, December 1, 2025 (for Fall 2026). More information: https://lnkd.in/gv29uAA6
