Job description

Provide DescriptionNanotechnology: Totally Funded EPSRC and Grove Supplies Ltd PhD Scholarship: Designer Nanoparticles for Biomedicine and Power: Physics Meets Biology and ChemistryNanostructured supplies already play a significant function in society. For instance, the crimson strains on a Covid check are nanoscale gold particles. The traditional strategy to their manufacturing employs solvents and chemical compounds which current well being hazards and environmental challenges. On this challenge we’ll exploit breakthroughs in one in every of two related areas, based on the experience of the coed: * Improvement of nanoscale physics-based experimental strategies, the place Swansea is world chief, to attain solvent-free synthesis and scale-up of soluble, ligand-capped metallic nanoparticles of dimension 1-100 nm.

• Conjugation of the nanoparticles at supply with detector molecules chosen to recognise an infectious agent or a biomarker. This will probably be a very new technique to tether proteins to metallic clusters for diagnostics.

Examples of the metallic nanoparticles are gold for medical diagnostics and most cancers remedy; iridium and platinum for clear vitality (hydrogen); and silicon for photonics and photo voltaic. They are going to be characterised by cutting-edge strategies together with XPS, SEM, TEM, dynamic gentle scattering, optical strategies and mass spec. The manufacturing strategies will mix atomistic and molecular (together with protein molecule) deposition in vacuum with wafer and roll-to-roll know-how and post-processing to reap nanoparticles on a scale starting with grams, heading for kilograms and with the potential for tonnes – representing a revolutionary paradigm-shift in (bio) supplies manufacturing on the interface between science frontiers and technological and medical purposes.The challenge will go well with a superb pupil who enjoys design, sensible experimental work, pc modelling and revolutionary concepts and needs to contribute to a wholesome planet. Your background may very well be in physics, bodily chemistry/engineering, or biomedical sciences, and your function will probably be tuned accordingly. You’ll have good communication and crew work abilities and a world outlook.The co-sponsoring firm Grove Nanomaterials Ltd springs from Swansea College and has licensed the background patents invented by the Major Supervisor. It’s bold and pleasant. The work envisaged has the potential to contribute to vital nationwide and worldwide influence by way of well being, financial progress, College popularity and new scientific publications.NecessitiesAnalysis Discipline Expertise » Nanotechnology Schooling Degree Bachelor Diploma or equalExpertise/{Qualifications}Candidates should maintain an undergraduate diploma at 2.1 stage (or Non-UK equal as outlined by Swansea College) in Engineering or related related science self-discipline.
