PhD Scholarship in Porous Materials for Sustainability-Related Applications Imperial College London in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in programmable DNA nanotechnology for the selective recovery of critical and rare elements at The University of Edinburgh . The project is jointly supervised by Davide Michieletto and Jason Love and explores how DNA nanostructures could enable more selective, reusable, and sustainable recovery of rare-earth elements and other rare and precious metals. These elements are important for electronics, permanent magnets, and low-carbon technologies, but their clean separation and recy...

PhD opportunity at the University of Edinburgh in cryo-DAC, biochar, carbon capture, molecular simulations, computational chemistry, and sustainable materials . This project, titled From Pollution to Permanent Carbon Storage via Cryo-DAC & Biochar , is being recruited through the E5 DTP at The University of Edinburgh . The research asks whether biochar can selectively capture CO2 from cold air , and which pore structures and surface chemistry features make this possible. The work combines molecu...

PhD opportunity at the University of Bath in the Department of Chemical Engineering on optimising perovskite oxygen carriers for biomass-enhanced hydrogen production and CO₂ utilisation via chemical looping . This project sits within the Bath Engineering & Design Studentships competition and focuses on green hydrogen production, carbon capture, and chemical looping reactor/process design. The research combines reactor and chemical plant simulation with material synthesis , lab-scale testing , an...
