About this position

This PhD scholarship at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), within DTU Sustain - Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering, focuses on advancing solar-driven hybrid methane production for bio-electrochemical CO2 utilization. The project sits at the intersection of environmental engineering, biotechnology, electrochemistry, and process optimization, with the aim of improving the conversion of biogenic CO2 into methane.

You will work within the Water Technology and Processes (WTP) section in an interdisciplinary research environment. The research combines photo-bio-electrochemical technology with laboratory-scale experimentation, analytical characterization, and process development. The position emphasizes hands-on work with reactor systems, electrochemical biofilms, photocathodes, and advanced chemical and spectroscopic analysis.

  • Cultivation and study of methanogenic archaea
  • Coupling electrochemical biofilms to photocathodes
  • Designing and running photo-bio-electrochemical experiments
  • Characterizing direct interspecies electron transfer
  • Optimizing operating conditions for performance and robustness
  • Analyzing samples with techniques such as LC-MS, IC, and TOC
  • Disseminating results through publications and conference presentations

The project is supervised and assessed by Professor Yifeng Zhang and the project team. DTU describes a large, international research setting with strong expertise in sustainable technologies, environmental resource engineering, and water-related processes.

This is a PhD scholarship funded through MSCA Doctoral Networks, and the appointment is for three years.
