Harvesting energy from plants - developing new technology to harvest energy from plants.

The bioelectronics laboratory at the University of Bath is looking for a PhD student to work in the development of new technology to harvest energy from plants.

The PhD candidate will devise and test an energy harvesting circuit, and will combine electrophysiological techniques with confocal imaging to investigate electroactive plants.

The project represents a unique and exciting opportunity for a student that wants to develop a background on electronics, bioelectronics and energy. Specifically, on new electrophysiology approaches, comprising advanced materials and devices that could lead to efficient and self-sustained energetic solutions.
