Sustainable Materials Professors and Supervisors in Ireland

Research focus: This PhD project develops generative computational methods for designing protein- and peptide-based biomaterials as sustainable alternatives to fluorinated PFAS polymers. The first application is solid-state battery components, where the project will target materials with adhesion, cohesion, ion conduction, and controlled degradability. The researcher will combine molecular foundation models with iterative laboratory feedback to generate de novo protein and peptide designs. The w...

The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is offering a PhD scholarship within the BRIGHT programme, which develops protein- and peptide-based biomaterials as sustainable alternatives to fluorinated PFAS polymers. The initial application area is solid-state battery components, where the project addresses the need for materials with defined composition, programmable chemistry, controlled assembly, stability, processability, and performance. The PhD researcher will use and extend generative molecu...

This PhD scholarship at DTU Sustain, Technical University of Denmark focuses on the thermodynamic properties of minerals that may serve as ores for critical raw materials. The project is part of an interdisciplinary and international collaboration designed to connect fundamental mineral characterization with applications in sustainable metal recovery. The PhD is one of two interdependent projects hosted by DTU Sustain and the University of Queensland. At DTU, the student will lead the work on in...
