PhD position on ‘Quantitative and Spatially Resolved Mechanical and Electrical Characterization of high tech functionalized ...

In this project, you will develop and apply cutting-edge microscopy techniques to measure pigment behavior under realistic production and application conditions. By characterizing interactions at the nano- and microscale, you will develop predictive models and novel measurement methods that improve coating performance for corrosion protection, heat reflection and radiation shielding.

You will collaborate closely with our industrial partners to translate your findings into more efficient production processes and better quality control. Your work will directly promote sustainability through reduction of material waste in production and pigment innovations that could boost energy efficiency and durability.

Within our supportive, multidisciplinary research group, you will benefit from tailored training, regular seminars and an open, and friendly atmosphere. You will present at international conferences, co-author publications and build a professional network that bridges academia and industry.

You will work at the Physics of Interfaces and Nanomaterials group, Department of Nano Electronic Materials. We are focused on creating a collaborative environment where team members can work together effectively. Our department emphasizes open communication, with monthly colloquia with invited speakers, allowing students to learn from experts in the field. Additionally, we hold annual meetings to discuss departmental updates and for the students to share recent advancements. Joining our team means being a part of a proactive community that values practical collaboration and ongoing learning.
