This PhD project aims to develop novel nanofibre membranes with superhydrophobicity using novel polymer chemistry and nanofibre morphology.
This PhD project aims to develop novel nanofibre membranes with superhydrophobicity using novel polymer chemistry and nanofibre morphology. Working on ARC projects focusing on functional membrane materials for next generation water desalination and low emission technologies.
The successful applicant to this PhD programme will contribute to the aims of the ARC DECRA project with the main supervisor, Dr Seungju Kim, to provide the cost-effective and energy-efficient potable water production and carbon dioxide separation processes for sustainable development of Australian communities, which will lead to exciting opportunities for travel, collaboration, and multi-disciplinary working.

Preferable with background in chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry, and engineering. This project relies on polymer science and synthetic chemistry to design the novel polymer chemistry and nanofibre structures for advanced membrane materials. Expertise in chemical engineering will be required to critically evaluate the membrane applications.
