PhD studentships (University of Liverpool)
Are you interested in pursuing a PhD using cutting-edge spectroscopy to study advanced catalytic materials?
We're offering a fully funded UK-home studentship (fees + stipend) to join our research team at the University of Liverpool.
In this project, you’ll use advanced surface spectroscopies to explore Chemospintronics - a concept we recently demonstrated with collaborators.
By using materials from the spintronics world to induce spin-polarization in originally nonmagnetic metals, we've uncovered a new route to fundamentally tune and transform catalytic activity. It’s an exciting frontier bridging magnetism, surface science, and catalysis!
