PhD Project in Materials and Structures for Multispectral Window and Electromagnetic Screening Applications University of Southampton in United Kingdom

The Institute for Communication Systems (ICS) at the University of Surrey is recruiting two UK home PhD students to research nonlocal metasurfaces and wave computing . Conventional metasurfaces operate locally, with each cell responding to the electromagnetic field at its own position. This project will investigate coupled cells across the aperture, creating a response that depends on the incident wavevector. Such nonlocal surfaces can filter, differentiate and transform wavefronts directly in t...

The University of Liverpool is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Plasma Catalysis to join its School of Engineering and contribute to interdisciplinary research on sustainable chemical conversion. The project focuses on adaptive plasma catalysis for converting CO2, CH4, and other feedstocks into valuable fuels and chemicals. The researcher will contribute to the design, development, and optimisation of plasma-catalytic reactors, alongside catalyst synthesis and characterisation. The r...
