PhD positions in biomass thermochemical conversion, CO2 capture, and electrochemical systems at Auburn University
Hossein Jahromi, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biosystems Engineering at Auburn University, is recruiting
two Ph.D. students
for an expected start date of
Fall 2027 (August 2027)
.
The research group works broadly on
thermochemical conversion of biomass
into fuels, chemicals, and other value-added products. Potential directions include
CO2 capture and conversion using biochar and other carbon-based materials
,
electrochemical CO2 capture and conversion
, integrated electrochemical and thermochemical conversion systems, biomass thermochemical conversion (including
pyrolysis
,
gasification
,
hydrothermal processing
, and related catalytic processes), and
biopolymer development
for adhesives, coating materials, and thermoplastics.
Students with backgrounds in
biosystems engineering, chemical engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, chemistry
, or related fields are encouraged to apply. Helpful experience includes thermochemical conversion, catalysis, electrochemistry, biochar, reaction engineering, polymer synthesis and characterization, and process modeling.
To apply, email
CV
and a
brief research statement
to
[email protected]
. Use the subject line
“Ph.D. Application – Fall 2027.”
The post notes that only strong matches will be contacted for interview, and applicants do not need to send follow-up emails if they do not hear back immediately.
This is a PhD opening at
Auburn University
in the
United States
. No deadline is stated in the post.
