Dr Helena Gleskova
Applications accepted all year round
Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
Project description:
There is an urgent need for the development of materials that can effectively bridge living systems with electronics for biomedical applications. This project aims to investigate a new class of gel-phase materials that may be ideally suited for this purpose. These peptide-based systems assemble spontaneously into conducting nanotubular networks. Electrical measurements will be performed on targeted systems to understand their ionic and electronic conduction, with the aim to tailor-make materials with desired electronic properties for biotransistors.
Research challenge:
This a joint research project between the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering (Helena Gleskova) and the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry (Peter Skabara and Rein Ulijn) . The biogels will be prepared in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry. The electrical characterization and the device fabrication will be done in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering.
How to Apply:
Please forward a copy of your CV and the names and contact details of three referees to:
Dr. Helena Gleskova
