Overview

Several PhD positions

are available in the context of micro- and nanofluidics, involving in particular oil-water two-phase flows and the specific interactions of the two phases with solid channel walls. The areas of interest include fluid dynamics, interfacial physics, wetting, physical chemistry and molecular interaction forces. The various projects involve a number of techniques including aspects of micro- and nanofabrication, various optical microscopy and spectroscopy techniques (high speed video, (multiple beam) interferometry, ellipsometry, confocal Raman microscopy), atomic force microscopy, as well as numerical simulations (CFD) to complement the experiments.

The research has an application background in oil recovery. Six to eight people are expected to work together in close collaboration, including interactions with external academic as well as an industrial partner.
