Fossil fuels coal, petroleum crude oil and natural gas, as sources of thermal energy, fuels and chemicals, have been predominant in the world’s energy supply.
This experimental project will face the global challenge of reducing emissions from industrial activities. The research candidate will develop advanced adsorbent materials aiming at the separation of undesired species and/or impurities from industrial gas mixtures.
Since production from conventional, easy-to-produce, hydrocarbon reserves has started to decline, extraction of unconventional resources has then become the focus of oil and gas industry.
Catalysis plays a critical role in modern society, where 90% of all chemical processes involve heterogeneous catalysts. Nevertheless, heterogeneous and biological catalysis is still considered as one of the top 24 challenges in chemistry when asking “what’s next” in 2015.
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a promising technology for the treatment of organic solid waste and wastewater, as it combines energy recovery with waste treatment.

Available evidence highlights a major opportunity to add significant value to oats through the isolation and quantification of lipids as functional ingredients in the human food chain or for use in the cosmetic industry.
This CASE PhD studentship is a unique opportunity to make significant advances in the field of organic geochemistry and risk-based land management of post-industrial brownfield land.
Background. Mitochondrial Thymidine Kinase 2 (TK2) catalyses transfer of a γ-phosphate group from ATP to the 5′-hydroxyl group of thymidine, deoxycytidine, or deoxyuridine to form their 5’-mono-phosphates.
The idea of this research project is to tackle the challenge of gaining controlled functions of extended polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) encoding the functionalization that defines the bandgap and the self-assembly properties via a site-specific doping of the aromatic framework.
