Research Group: Chemistry Number of Students: 1 Length of Study in Years: 4 Years Full-time Project: yes
This project is open to students applying to 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.
Reticular chemistry has advanced significantly over recent years. Within this field, the covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are emerging as an important class of porous organic
materials with interesting and tuneable properties for a variety of applications. The overarching aim of this PhD project is to utilise these new framework architectures and develop
semiconducting COFs for organic electronic applications with a focus on thermoelectric energy harvesting to introduce a paradigm shift in organic electronics.
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. Students must fulfil the CSC entry requirements and the QM English requirement on application.
Applicants are encouraged to contact Dr Christian Nielsen at 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.
