PhD Organic molecules for the corrosion inhibiti ... (1 reply)
Dear Professor,
I am Aditi Singh. I have completed my BSc. honors in physics from St. Xavier’s College, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India.
Currently, I have completed my Masters in Science from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. I have done my MSc thesis project titled “Photo-thermal therapy using MoTe2 for killing cancer cells”. I have given my seminar on Density Functional Theory.
I wish to apply for the PhD program under your guidance. I have some useful experience in the Computational Technique and programming languages. I am attaching my CV for further information.
I am highly motivated towards the research areas and looking for a positive response to this.
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Aditi Singh

This thesis aims to target new environmentally friendly organic coatings improving the corrosion resistance of light alloys (Al, Mg). We propose to develop a rationalized research of organic inhibitors based on a combined theoretical / experimental approach aimed at understanding i) molecule / surface interactions at the atomic scale, ii) the self-organization in dense layers of organic molecules. on metal surfaces and iii) the corrosion resistance of the functionalized metal surfaces. This approach, coupling modeling by DFT, advanced characterization of surfaces (XPS, ToF-SIMS, AFM) and electrochemical measurements will be applied to light metals and their alloys (Al, Mg) and to specific organic anchoring molecules (silanes, phosphonates, amines).
