PhD in Material Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Chemistry at Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah

This PhD opportunity at Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA) is supervised by Ir Ts Dr Ramli Junid and focuses on advanced materials research. The project centers on the use of Epoxy Resin as a polymer matrix to develop carbon fibre composites enhanced with graphene nanoplatelets. The proposed research title is “Structure–Property Relationships of Thermally Modified Graphene Nanoplatelets in Epoxy and Carbon Fibre Reinforced Multiscale Composites.” Applicants should have a strong background in Material Engineering/Science, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering/Technology, or Chemistry. Candidates from other science and technology fields are also encouraged to apply. The research involves interdisciplinary approaches combining materials science, chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering to investigate the properties and performance of advanced composite materials. The program offers a monthly stipend ranging from MYR1800 to MYR2300, depending on performance, but it is not fully funded and does not mention tuition coverage. The position is ideal for candidates interested in polymer composites, nanomaterials, and the application of graphene in engineering. Interested candidates should submit their CV via the provided Google Forms link and may contact the supervisor for further details. Key academic keywords include Material Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Chemistry, Epoxy Resin, Graphene, Carbon Fibre Composite, Nanoplatelets, and Multiscale Composites. The application window is open, and candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
