Ph.D. position is available at the Computational Nanocatalysis group led by Prof. Sergey Kozlov the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the National University of Singapore (#11 in QS World University Rankings). This Ph.D. study will be funded by a research scholarship over 4 years and will include both research and coursework.

The proposed project will focus on simulations of unique catalytic properties of nanocomposite materials using density functional theory (DFT) and will challenge the student’s knowledge of physics, chemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology. The envisaged research will involve both the development of advanced computational approaches and more applied studies related to green energy and green fuel technologies in collaboration with renowned local and international experimental groups.

The applications should be done through the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (https://www.eng.nus.edu.sg/graduate/graduate-research-based-programmes/how-to-apply/). Strong preference will be given to applicants with previous experience in atomistic and DFT simulations.

Application deadline: 1 January 2022

Ph.D. start date: 1 August 2022
