PhD in Advancing Electrically Driven Separation Processes via Local pH-Gradient Analysis

Original title: PhD Position Advancing Electrically Driven Separation Processes via Local pH-Gradient Analysis

• visualizing and quantifying local pH gradients using Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) to understand their influence on separation performance and membrane durability;
• elucidating transport phenomena in membranes by integrating your experimental observations with advanced electrode characterization data generated within the consortium; and
• developing membrane modification strategies to enhance performance, durability, and antifouling properties, thereby reducing energy demand as well as capital and operational costs for specific user-cases.
• An MSc degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, Applied Physics, Physical Chemistry or a closely related discipline.
• Hands-on experience with electrochemical systems and/or electrically driven separation technologies.
• Knowledge of membrane processes, transport phenomena, advanced characterization techniques, such as fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), and/or experience with 2D computational modeling.
• Experience with designing custom-built experimental set-ups
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, enabling you to thrive in an international and multidisciplinary research environment.
• motivation letter;
• only abstract of your MSc thesis (or equivalent degree) in English;
• copy of the MSc (or equivalent degree) diploma and its academic supplement (i.e. list of grades)
• You can apply online. We will not process applications sent by email and/or post.
