This PhD project aims to develop innovative methods for the crystallisation of various compounds, including small organic molecules for pharmaceutical manufacturing, inorganic compounds, such as for battery recycling and water treatment, macromolecules (such as proteins, viruses, etc.) for food and biopharmaceutical bioseparation. As crystallisation techniques continue to evolve for enhancing efficiency and reducing costs in diverse applications, this research will explore advanced methods using thin film solutions to accelerate crystallisation and purification processes.
The project will also investigate the use of nano-templates, constructed from different materials such as 3D printed and hydrogel templates, to promote nucleation and further improve crystallisation efficiency. By integrating advanced materials and cutting-edge techniques, the project aims to push the boundaries of crystallisation technology.
This interdisciplinary research provides a unique opportunity for the PhD student to develop skills and expertise applicable to a wide range of future challenges in crystallisation and material science. The outcomes of this work are anticipated to contribute significantly to advancements in crystallisation applications.
This is an open call for candidates who are sponsored or who have their own funding. If you do not have funding, you may still apply, however Institutional funding is not guaranteed. Outstanding candidates (UK/EU/International) without funding will be considered for any funding opportunity which may become available in the school.
