Hello Prof. Buwa,



Hope you are doing well. Things are great at my end. I need some help from
you. I have two funded positions for PhD in my research group and I am
particularly looking for Chemical Engineering M.Tech students. I have
attached the position details. I was wondering if you could forward this to
any interested students.



Thank you so much.

Vibha.

Two PhD Positions Available: Nanomaterials for Energy Applications

Kalra Research Group

Chemical and Biological Engineering Department,

Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

 <http://www.chemeng.drexel.edu/kalraresearchgroup/>
http://www.chemeng.drexel.edu/kalraresearchgroup/



Start Date: Summer or Fall 2012

Our Research Group studies structure-property-performance correlation in
nanofiber-based novel materials for energy storage and conversion devices
such as solar cells, fuel cells, super-capacitors, and batteries. Our
research is funded by the National Science Foundation, Pennsylvania
Nanomaterials Commercialization Center, and Drexel University (College of
Engineering, and Steinbright Career Development Center).

We have excellent experimental and computational facilities including two
electrospinning setups for nanofiber fabrication, material characterization
equipments including transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning
electron microscope (SEM), ultramicrotomes for sample preparation, x-ray
diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), small and
wide-angle x-ray scattering, potentiostats for performance measurements in
energy storage devices, terahertz spectroscopy for charge transport
measurements in solar cells and a 96-core linux-based computer cluster for
simulations.

Project Details

.         Project involves state of the art nanofabrication, material
characterization and property/performance measurements for alternate energy
applications.

.         Project may include purely experimental work, purely computational
work, or a combination of both depending on student interests.

.         Expected PhD Completion Time: 3 - 4 years

.         Two fully funded positions (includes tuition and research
assistant stipend)

Requirements:

Masters (M.S., M.Tech or equivalent degree) in Chemical Engineering. Non-US
applicants are welcome.

Number of PhD Positions: Two



If interested, please contact Prof. Vibha Kalra at vibha...@drexel.edu
for any questions or you may send your Resume/CV for consideration.
