Liverpool, United Kingdom University of Liverpool Full time

In this project, you will develop an experimental platform that marries robotics with cutting-edge techniques in data science and computer vision. Your work will feed directly into Unilever’s Climate Transition Action Plan to achieve a 42% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from its formulations by 2030. You will delve into the formation of metal-active complexes and their evolution into solid suspensions using computer vision, light scattering, and microscopy to study how these systems develop over time. The increased throughput and digital insight gained from your automated approach will enable the application of cutting-edge machine learning techniques to interpret your experiments. Your work will be further underpinned by developing a rigorous understanding of the fundamental physical chemistry governing your system, and you will have the opportunity to develop theoretical and/or computational models of the processes you are studying in the lab.


You will undertake this 4-year project as part of the University of Liverpool’s Doctoral Training Centre in Digital and Automated Materials Chemistry. You will be based in the Materials Innovation Factory (MIF), the largest industry-academia colocation in UK physical science, and work in close collaboration with scientists at Unilever R&D in Port Sunlight. We welcome applicants from a broad range of sciences and engineering backgrounds, including Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related disciplines. Some familiarity with basic programming, especially Python, is essential.
