PhD Studentships: Marie Curie Early Stage Training Fellowship, School of chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials

A PhD funded by the European Commission under the Marie Curie Early Stage Training Fellowship Programme, is available in the Centre for Process Analytics and Control Technology (CPACT), within the School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials.

CPACT is involved in multi-disciplinary research and brings togetherchemical engineers, statisticians, chemists and physicists from bothacademia and industry.

Strong industrial colloboration and the range of research carriedout in the Centre makes it an exciting place to develop a successfulresearch career.

Selected candidates will have the opportunity to undergo unique andexciting multi-disciplinary research training that will involve bothexperimental and computational work pertaining to signal extractionfrom spectroscopic measurements.

This training will be through research that combines physical,chemical and mathematical/statistical principles. The selectedcandidates will have a choice of exciting research topics to pursuewithin this frame-work depending on their background and interests.

Examples of areas from which research topics can be chosen from are,inverse problems dealing with characterisation (e.g. estimatingparticle size, size distribution, shape etc) of particulate systemssuch as emulsions, latexes and powders, light transport throughparticulate media and semi-empirical/hybrid techniques combiningmultivariate statistical techniques with fundamental physical modelsfor chemical characterisation of particulate systems.
