  • To conduct accelerated testing and rigorous performance evaluations to quantify the energy savings, durability, and user comfort enhancements these surfaces may offer.
Requirements

The candidate should have a strong background in materials science, physics, or engineering, with experience in nanofabrication and surface characterization techniques. Ability to analyze data and work effectively in a team environment is essential.

Benefits

This PhD project offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with a leading automotive company on technologies that hold real-world potential, with hands-on experience in both advanced research and industry-relevant applications.
