About this position

PhD opportunity in Spin Effects for Catalysis at Nanyang Technological University, School of Materials Science and Engineering, with Prof Zhichuan Jason Xu.

This funded PhD project explores how electron spin, catalyst magnetism, and spin-polarised charge transfer can be used to understand and control catalytic reactions. The research focuses on energy-relevant chemical transformations and may include electrocatalytic reactions such as oxygen evolution and ammonia oxidation.

The student will design spin-active catalytic materials including transition-metal oxides, spinels, perovskites, and related magnetic catalyst systems. The project also examines how composition, defects, strain, interfaces, and external fields influence catalytic behaviour, activity, selectivity, and reaction pathways.

Applicants with backgrounds or interests in materials science, catalysis, electrochemistry, solid-state chemistry, physics, or chemical engineering are encouraged to apply. Training includes catalyst design, advanced characterisation, data-led materials analysis, and mechanistic studies in NTU MSE’s interdisciplinary energy-materials environment.

This is a funded PhD project open to students worldwide. The listing does not specify a stipend amount or detailed funding package.

Applications are accepted all year round. Interested candidates should register their interest via the FindAPhD listing and wait for the university to respond directly.
