We have 128 Physical Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Non-European Students
Spin-based quantum sensors from chemically synthesised molecules
This project, available through the Centre for Doctoral Training in Applied Quantum Technologies, seeks to develop versatile and widely deployable quantum sensors based on electronic spins in luminescent molecules. Read more
Deep Learning-based mechanistic elucidation of processes mediated by heterogeneous catalysts
Heterogeneous catalysis is essential in the chemical industry, but understanding its mechanisms is complex due to the limitations of traditional kinetic analysis, which often relies on simplifying approximations. Read more
Universal electrometric detector for HPLC eluent analysis
Applications are invited for a 4 year PhD studentship starting in Autumn 2025 as part of the EPSRC CDT in Aerosol Science. Project description. Read more
Spintronics with atomically thin semiconductors for quantum technologies
This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton (https://qte.ac.uk/). Read more

Understanding the Micelle Architecture of Mild to Harsh Surfactant Blends
This fully funded PhD place provides an exciting opportunity to pursue postgraduate research in a range of fields relating to Colloid Science and the Physical Chemistry of Biomaterials. Read more
Understanding Disordered Solid Electrolytes through Computer Simulation
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
Probing the f→d transition in lanthanide ions for qubit switching
Metal centres with single unpaired electrons have great potential as qubit systems; the two spin-states of the electron (up and down) can be mapped onto classical bits 0 and 1, with additional superpositions of the states allowing for increased computational speed following Quantum Information Processing (QIP) algorithms compared to classical computer systems. Read more
Injectable biomimetic hydrogels
As the population ages and chronic illnesses rise, innovative solutions in tissue engineering are becoming increasingly vital for improving health outcomes. Read more
Modular DNA nanopores for synthetic biology
The aim of this project is to develop artificial cells that can programmably communicate. In biology, cells are miniature factories where different compartments handle specific tasks. Read more
Light-activated DNA nanomachinery
DNA is an ideal material for building nanomachinery. it is responsive to stimuli, biocompatible, and can be programmed to assemble into structures of specific sizes and shapes. Read more
Surfactant adsorption in dynamic environments: Application in agrochemical product formulation
Research Group:
School of Chemical and Process Engineering
The agrochemicals sector is worth over £2B to the UK economy. These speciality chemicals are manufactured and sold around the world to protect crops, improve soil fertility and increase crop yields; all three being critical to our ability to feed the growing global population. . Read more
Electrochemical processes to generate alkyl radicals
Radical chemistry is a cornerstone of organic synthesis, yet many radical techniques rely on reagents that are toxic or that generate significant quantities of waste. Read more
Classical-scaling methods for non-adiabatic quantum dynamics
Solving the world’s energy and climate challenges will require new technologies that can efficiently harvest, store, convert and use energy, and many of these processes involve electrons ‘jumping’ between molecules or atoms. Read more
Airborne microplastics: surface chemistry and cloud-crystallisation properties
Microplastics originate from a variety of sources including tyre abrasions, fabric degradation, landfill waste, cosmetics and general pollution. Read more
