PhD position Université d'Orléans in France

CIFRE PhD opening in Thermochemical Response of Sorptive Materials at IRCELYON (CNRS / Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1) with industrial host Savery in Lyon, France . The project focuses on the thermodynamics and kinetics of sorptive materials, including heat release, ageing/regeneration, and thermal signatures at the material, coating, and component scale in dynamic humid air with trace compounds. The work sits at the intersection of physical chemistry , adsorption , materials science , heat an...

PhD opportunity at the University of Caen Normandy, France in the ABTE laboratory, EcoTEA team, on foam-flow cleaning in milking systems . The project, called FOAMAT , focuses on improving cleaning performance while reducing water, energy, and detergent use. The research combines foam physical chemistry , fluid mechanics , process engineering , rheology , and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to understand how foam formulation, structure, and flow conditions affect the removal of dairy residues...
