PhD Fellowships in Chemistry
University of Massachusetts – Lowell, USA
The Department of Chemistry at University of Massachusetts Lowell is offering two PhD Scholarships (3-5 years) to perform graduate studies in Chemistry under the supervision of Professor D. Christodouleas.
The broad topic of the interdisciplinary research performed at Christodouleas group is “New Technologies for Low-cost, in-Field Chemical and Biochemical Analysis”. The successful candidates will be enrolled in the PhD program that starts on September 1st 2017.
Project titles:
1. Paper-like materials for novel applications. We are searching for skilled graduates (chemists, engineers, material science graduates etc.) who wish to fabricate new paper-like materials, characterize their properties, and test their performance as thermoelectric materials or electrodes in bioanalytical and catalytic systems.
2. Rapid detection of disease biomarkers and other compounds using paper devices. We are searching for skilled graduates (chemists, biologists, bioengineers etc.) who wish to develop novel analytical methodologies for the low-cost and rapid detection of disease biomarkers (i.e., infectious diseases, heart attack biomarkers, electrolytes etc.) using low cost materials such as paper, metal wires etc.
