About this position

Master’s and PhD opportunities are available at Tsinghua University Shenzhen International Graduate School for September 2027 intake.

The research group works on friction and wear performance of high-performance polymers and polymer composites, especially in demanding environments where conventional liquid lubrication is impractical. Current themes include sustainable polymer composites, PFAS-free self-lubricating materials, ultralow wear performance, tribology, tribometry, and in-situ characterisation techniques for studying wear mechanisms.

Students from materials science, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and related disciplines are encouraged to apply. Prior experience in tribology is helpful but not required; motivation, curiosity, and willingness to learn are highlighted as important qualities.

Funding: scholarships are available for eligible applicants.

How to apply: contact the supervisor by email with your CV and a brief introduction. Use the application information link for more details.

Supervisor: Kian Kun Yap, Assistant Professor, Tsinghua University.
