The teaching of students is shared between the Colleges and University departments. Degrees are awarded by the University.
Course Level: Studentship is available to pursue the PhD programme.
Study Subject: University is looking for an outstanding student who is interested in working on an experimental project to investigate the laminar flame synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles. The project will investigate the factors controlling the particle morphology, including the coagulation and sintering behaviour of the particles. The project will require the student to apply techniques that have been recently developed (in the context of soot particles) to provide real-time spatially resolved measurements of temperature and of the particle size and number distribution in the flame. The project will run alongside a computational studentship that will use insights from the experimental investigations to inform a detailed model of the process.
Scholarship Award: The studentship provides a full stipend and covers the University and College fees at the Home/EU rate.
Eligible Countries: Applicants of any nationality may apply
