Are you fascinated by the challenges of the energy transition? We are looking for a motivated PhD candidate, who will work in a team of scientists towards the development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) derived from renewable resources. An inherent challenge in catalytic processes that convert biomass components to aviation fuels is the large amount … Read more
Bio-orthogonal catalysis merges traditional transition-metal based chemistry with the new and exciting topic of bio-orthogonal chemistry, ie performing chemical reaction in complex cellular media. The Supramolecular Chemistry and Catalysis group (see for more information: https://palmanslab.nl/) at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry of the TU Eindhoven is looking for a PhD student to develop novel bio-orthogonal catalysts … Read more
In these times where circularity and accessibility to safe drinking and irrigation water is becoming increasingly important and under pressure, (membrane)adsorption is an attractive method to attack water scarcity by selectively removing harmful micropollutants and undesired components from the water cycle such that originally polluted water can be safely reused. The application of membrane adsorbers is … Read more

Then this PhD vacancy is an excellent fit for … Read more
Electrochemical materials and interfaces are present in many energy systems, such as fuel cells, batteries, or water splitting devices. The performance of such devices is strongly related to the materials and interface properties. Therefore, understanding and tuning of these properties are crucial in order to reach highest performance and to supply alternative, sustainable energy solutions … Read more
In this project we explore the fundamental origin of the famous ‘arrow of time’ that distinguishes past from future in our mathematical models of the real world. We will combine the mathematics of partial differential equations, large-deviation theory, and complexity theory to shed some light on this century-old mystery. The consortium Emergence at all Scales … Read more
