Overview
Fully funded industrial EPSRC CASE studentship with Prof. Lynn Gladden, Dr Andy York and Dr Mick Mantle; industrial partner Johnson Matthey plc (www.matthey.com)
A CASE studentship is available, using mainly NMR and MRI techniques, to address a number of key challenges in the preparation and application of catalysts in automotive emissions control. This is in conjunction with Johnson Matthey, one of the largest catalyst manufacturers in the world and a leader in automotive catalysis. Of particular relevance in this project will be investigating novel diesel particulate filter (DPF) materials. These are relatively new in the automotive industry, but are now widely used for the control of automotive particulate matter (PM), which is hazardous to human health and the environment. Currently in Europe, 40-50% of passenger vehicles are fitted with DPFs.
This 3.5 year fully funded PhD research project aims to use a wide range of NMR and MRI experimental techniques to give new insights into particulate filter material properties; both their operation as a filter device, and their preparation as a catalytic system. This multifaceted approach will enable a better understanding of the filter manufacturing process and filter behaviour.
Target Candidates
This studentship is open to UK nationals or EU nationals who have completed their undergraduate studies in the UK. Applicants should have a First Class (or a high 2:1) degree in a relevant discipline such as chemical engineering, engineering, chemistry or physics. The studentship is fully-funded (i.e. pays tuition fees at the UK/EU rate as well as a tax-free annual maintenance stipend. EU nationals who have not been resident in the UK for three years will be eligible for fees only.
In the first instance, applicants should send, with the reference number, a detailed curriculum vitae (to include numerical details of grades obtained in relevant examinations) to: the Research Secretary at recruitment@cheng.cam.ac.uk as soon as possible.
Enquiries
Informal enquires may be directed either to Dr Mick Mantle mdm20@cam.ac.uk or Dr Andy York ayork@matthey.com
