PhD Scholarship for developing carbon nano materials from wastes

PhD Scholarship for developing carbon nano materials from wastes

The scholarship offers a stipend to support experimental investigations and the development of mathematical models aimed at valorizing waste and producing carbon nanomaterials.

The scholarship provides a minimum stipend of $34,481 each year for three years to perform experimental investigations and developing mathematical models to valorize waste and produce carbon nano materials.

1 (One).

Have a first-class honor in chemical engineering ( Bachelours or Masters), Be an Australian resident or citizen or meet English requirements of the University

Interested candidates are to contact Dr. Veluswamy (Ganesh.Veluswamy@rmit.edu.au) and Prof. Kalpit (kalpit.shah@rmit.edu.au) with your CV with a relevant list of publications, experimental exposure, 2 referee details, and English score.

The project would require fundamental investigations at macro, micro and molecular levels. Modeling tools such as HSC Chemistry and ASPEN Plus will be used to identify most suitable low cost catalysts/minerals and to perform process modeling respectively. Experimental investigations will be carried out using a bench-scale experimental CVD rig to study the reaction mechanisms. Several advanced characterization methods (such as SEM-XRD, TEM, XRF, EDS, HNMR, BET etc.) will be employed to characterize the carbon nanofiber structures. For molecular level, understanding, DFT modeling will be employed.

This scholarship will be governed by RMIT University's Research Scholarship Terms and Conditions.
