PhD opportunity: robotic models of bat echolocation

Applications are invited for a Ph.D. position on robotic models of bat echolocation, under the supervision of Dieter Vanderelst.

The successful applicant will be working on robotic models of sonar
based prey capture, navigation or object recognition in echolocating
bats. For more information on my previous and ongoing research in this
area, please visit my website, http://bitsofbats.weebly.com.

This position is located in the Center for Cognition, Action &
Perception (CAP) at the Department of Psychology, University of
Cincinnati. CAP is a multidisciplinary research center fostering
collaborations between researchers across UC departments and colleges,
including Psychology, Biology, and Engineering. See
