About this position
PhD opportunity at IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN), Lyon, France on thermal stability of bio-oil at refining temperature.
The project focuses on biomass-derived pyrolysis bio-oil, a promising alternative to fossil resources, and investigates why its highly oxygenated composition can cause polymerization, reactor fouling, catalyst deactivation, and unstable processing under refining-relevant conditions.
Research themes include chemical engineering, bio-oil upgrading, thermal stability, reaction kinetics, machine learning, physical modeling, and batch reactor experiments. The work aims to identify molecular descriptors and kinetics behind instability, validate them through targeted doping experiments, and build a lump kinetic model to predict composition, stability, and processability.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering or a related field and have proficiency in Python or another programming language.
Application: send your CV and cover letter to Warumporn Pejpichestakul and Benoit CELSE by email. No deadline was stated in the post.
