Overview
Nanomanufacturing is an exciting field where objects at the scale of a few nanometers can be manipulated and individually assembled. Although there is immense potential in this field, any realization of large-scale assembly of individual components at the nanoscale has remained elusive. In this project we will aim to use nanomechanical probes to pick and place individual components into 3-D assemblies. This is a challenging project working at the intersection of mechanical engineering, physics and chemistry. The student will have the opportunity to be very creative and can potentially shape the outcome of this project.
A student working on this project will become a world-expert in advanced measurement techniques, advanced probe-based technologies as well as develop a deep understanding of the industrial applications of nanomanufacturing. The student must be willing to show initiative, and develop leadership qualities to drive the research field and have ambitions to establish her/himself as a pioneer in this field.
For informal enquiries contact Dr Harish Bhaskaran at H.Bhaskaran@exeter.ac.uk
Application criteria
The successful applicant should have or expect to achieve at least an upper second class Honours degree, or equivalent qualifications, in Engineering, Applied Physics, Materials Science or related subjects.
Please note that studentships will be awarded on the basis of merit.
Value: Three-year studentship: Tuition fees [UK/EU or International] and an annual maintenance allowance at current research council rate
Application deadline: 14th March 2011
How to apply
To apply, you must complete the online web form. You will be asked to submit some personal details and upload a full CV, covering letter and details of two academic referees. Your covering letter should outline your academic interests, prior research experience and reasons for wishing to undertake this project.
For general enquiries please contact Liz Roberts at E.G.Roberts@exeter.ac.uk
