PhD Scholarship on Water and Low Emission Technology

PhD Scholarship on Water and Low Emission Technology

This PhD project aims to develop novel nanofibre membranes with superhydrophobicity using novel polymer chemistry and nanofibre morphology.

Superhydrophobic membranes with water repellent properties are required for emerging processes such as membrane distillation (MD), for example to draw freshwater vapor from saline water, and membrane gas absorption (MGA).

Standard RMIT PhD enrolment requirements apply, please see entry requirements webpage.

Please send CV, cover letter, and academic transcript to seungju.kim@rmit.edu.au.

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.
