About this position
This postdoctoral project focuses on developing a compact process for deoxygenating aviation fuels to improve the oxidation stability of kerosene before it enters aircraft cooling circuits. The research is motivated by the need to reduce aircraft emissions and improve engine efficiency by enabling fuels to absorb more heat without degrading.
The successful candidate will work on experiments in different reactors to validate a laser-based photochemical deoxygenation approach. The project also includes developing an analytical method to track consumed oxygen using Raman spectroscopy or fiber fluorospectrometry. In parallel, the candidate will establish and optimize the kinetics of oxygen consumption under different operating conditions and in different reactor configurations.
The work sits within the broader ERC PoC LAOS project and involves both fundamental and applied research aimed at turning a long-standing technical challenge into a practical solution for the aviation sector. The postdoctoral researcher will carry out bibliographic work, lead the development and validation of fuel-deoxygenation pilots, contribute to photochemical method development, and interact with industrial partners. The role also includes writing scientific articles and reports, and presenting results at conferences and seminars.
The position is hosted by the Laboratoire Réactions et Génie des Procédés (LRGP), a joint research unit of CNRS and the University of Lorraine, located in Nancy. The lab provides a multidisciplinary environment in reaction engineering and process development for a project at the interface of chemistry, spectroscopy, and aerospace applications.
