Were happy to announce that the Department of Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical engineering were allocated two PhD fellowships. Congratulations to Behrouz Arash (mechanical) and Tiina Komulainen (electronics). Their projects are:

• Behrouz: Designing Solid Electrolytes for Li- and Na-ion Batteries using Deep Learning-based Models (DeepSolo)
• Tiina:  Sustainable innovation and radical technolfiogies for future water industry

Come work with us as a PhD student in Advanced Materials Technology and help us developing new methods for the fabrication of nanomaterials and exploring their applications in energy storage.

There is currently a vacancy for a PhD position at the Department of Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical engineering (MEK) at the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design (TKD), in the field of Advanced Materials Technology, related to the project “Micromanufacturing and Energy Materials”. The PhD candidate will be part of the research group Mechanical, Mechatronics and Materials Technology (M3T), as well as GreenMet – OsloMet Green Energy Laboratory. The position is for a period of three years, and the person appointed should preferably take up the position as soon as possible.

The PhD project “Micromanufacturing and Energy Materials” has two main goals:

1. Researching, and developing techniques to modify the submicron-structure of materials, including microfabrication, surface treatment and deposition, based on electrospray/electrospinning.

1. Application of these techniques to the synthesis of nanocomposite materials for use in energy storage (batteries, e.g. polymer-ceramic nanocomposites for solid-state electrolytes).

Are you interested, or know someone who might be?

Apply here by 30th May 2024.
