About this position
Fully funded PhD opportunity in Hydrogen Storage at the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), Ireland, within the Hydrogen Energy Innovation Research Group. The project is supported by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and focuses on developing next-generation hydrogen storage materials using advanced experimental and computational methods.
The research will centre on Mg–polymer composites for solid-state hydrogen storage, with related work on Mg-based hydride composites, high-entropy alloys, carbon nanotubes, polymer materials, DFT, multiscale modelling, and artificial intelligence. The successful candidate will contribute to synthesis and development, ball milling and chemical processing, hydrogen storage performance evaluation, materials characterisation (XRD, SEM, FTIR, elemental analysis), DFT simulations, AI-assisted optimisation, and publication of research findings.
This PhD is suitable for candidates with a strong background in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Energy Engineering, or Computational Materials Science. Applicants should have a Master’s degree/MEng/MSc or equivalent and an excellent academic record. The post also mentions opportunities to work with industrial partner EireComposites in Ireland and internationally.
Location: Limerick, Ireland. Funding: fully funded SEAI-supported PhD. Deadline: applications remain open until a suitable candidate is appointed.
To apply, email your CV, cover letter, transcripts, and publication list (if any) directly to Dr. Amit Haldar at [email protected].
