Research Group: Chemistry Number of Students: 1 Length of Study in Years: 4 Years Full-time Project: yes
This project is open to Chinese students under the CSC schemes.
This project is funded via a studentship from the China Scholarship Council. CSC is offering a monthly stipend to cover living expenses and QMUL is waving fees and hosting the student. These scholarships are available only for Chinese candidates.
Nanomaterials such as graphene are becoming increasingly attractive for real-world applications including for instance sensors and catalysts. Being able to insert specific chemical defects from a bottom-up approach using synthetic chemistry holds great potential for fabrication of new improved materials tailored at the nanoscale. In this PhD project, we will design and synthesise new aromatic precursor molecules that will subsequently be used to create the next generation of nanomaterials with controlled defects.
Applications are invited from outstanding Chinese candidates with or expecting to receive a first or upper-second class master's degree in Chemistry or an area relevant to the project.
Applicants are encouraged to contact Dr Christian Nielsen on c.b.nielsen@qmul.ac.uk prior to their submission by sending a CV and a description of their interests and expertise relevant to the project.
