Chemical Engineering

Justin Bui, Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at New York University, is recruiting PhD students and postdoctoral researchers for his new lab launching in Summer/Fall 2026. The group will focus on developing electrochemical reactors for sustainable chemical transformations, integrating physics-based and data-driven approaches to accelerate the design and optimization of new electrochemical processes. Research areas include electrochemistry, electrochemical engineering, data science, ab initio and continuum modeling, material science, reaction engineering, and organic chemistry. The lab also aims to advance clean chemical synthesis and environmental remediation. Candidates with experience in these fields are encouraged to apply. PhD applicants should submit their applications to NYU Tandon's Graduate Program, while postdoc candidates and those with questions can contact Dr. Bui directly. Funding details are not specified, but NYU Tandon typically offers competitive packages for PhD students. The application window targets Summer or Fall 2026, with a recommended deadline of October 1, 2026. For more information, visit the lab website or reach out via email.
