PhD studentship available: Modelling the formation of carbon nanotubes

A PhD studentship to start in October 2022 is available in the Computational Modelling Group via the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Aerosol Science.

The project will develop a reactive molecular dynamics model to investigate the processes controlling the formation of carbon nanotubes. The model will provide important understanding to guide the production of replacements for high-carbon materials such as steel and cement. The project would suit students with a passion for programming and modelling, and with a knowledge of chemistry.

Prospective candidates should simultaneously apply to and win a partial scholarship from the University of Cambridge (selecting Professor Markus Kraft as their supervisor), and apply to the Aerosol Science CDT.

• Apply to the University of Cambridge. (Closing date for applications seeking funding: 02 December 2022).
• Apply to the Aerosol CDT. (Closing date: TBC, probably Jan or Feb 2022).
