Master’s Opportunities in Catalysis in Australia

PhD opportunity at The University of Queensland in the School of Chemical Engineering, focused on engineering next-generation nanocatalysts for solar-driven production of methanol . The project targets the conversion of CO2 and CO from industrial emissions and by-products into methanol and related fuels via a photothermal pathway . Research will involve nanomaterials synthesis , catalyst design, and advanced characterisation to build robust structure–activity relationships. Students will gain ha...

PhD scholarship opportunity at The University of Queensland for a domestic student project on micro- and nanoplastics in drinking water . The research is based at the Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences (QAEHS) and is supervised by Dr Elvis Okoffo (ARC DECRA Research Fellow). The project investigates how micro- and nanoplastics enter drinking water systems, their sources and environmental pathways, how they behave through water treatment processes, and how they can be detected ...

PhD opportunity at The University of Queensland (St Lucia, Australia) in photothermal catalysis and solar methanol synthesis . The project, titled “Unravelling the photothermal effect in solar methanol synthesis” , explores how light-driven and heat-driven effects work together to improve catalyst performance for converting small molecules such as CO2 or CO into fuels like methanol under mild, energy-efficient conditions. You will work across chemical engineering , chemistry , materials science ...
