4 years DTP studentship in microfluidic reactor and nanoparticles - developing robust scalable manufacturing routes for nanoparticles synthesis for healthcare and nanomedicine

Supervisors: Prof A.Gavriilidis, Chemical Engineering UCL
Application deadline: 19 June 2018
Start Date: September/October 2018



DTP studentship, 4 years in duration and covering UK/EU fees, minimum RCUK stipend & allowance for consumables:

Applications are invited by highly talented researchers for a PhD position under the supervision of Prof Asterios Gavriilidis to work on Advanced Flow Technology for Healthcare Materials Manufacturing. This goal is to develop robust scalable manufacturing routes for the use of nanoparticles (NPs) in healthcare and nanomedicine. The successful applicant will join a highly motivated group working at the interface of chemistry, materials, chemical engineering and nanomedicine. A high degree of collaborative work tackling important, interdisciplinary and industry focused science is being undertaken, which provides a highly stimulating environment in which to work. You will undertake research in inorganic synthesis, using flow microreactors especially for the formation of magnetic and/or gold nanoparticles.


To be eligible for the DTP award candidates must be either UK or EU citizens who have been living in the UK for 3 years immediately prior to the course commencing (for education purposes is fine).


Students must have a 1st class or equivalent degree from an MEng level programme.
Students with back ground in Chemistry, Chemical engineering, Material Sciences, condensed matter physics who is interested a microfludic reactor and nanoparticles research are encouraged to applied.

Please contact Prof A. Gavriilidis ([Email Address Removed]) for further details or to express an interest.

Applications will be accepted until the deadline but the position will be filled as soon as an appropriate candidate is found.
