PhD opportunity at Delft University of Technology in the Department of Chemical Engineering, within the BIO-Skin consortium (Bio-Inspired Outer Surfaces to Kool, Insulate and Nurture), led by TU Delft. The project focuses on biobased polymer–nanoclay composites for sustainable building materials . The research aims to develop circular, biobased, and biophilic building components using waste-based, biodegradable polymer matrices produced by Calayda and Recell, then incorporating them into nanocla...

PhD opportunity at Eindhoven University of Technology in Transient Fischer–Tropsch Catalysis , located in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. This project sits within the HyCarb consortium and focuses on sustainable carbon conversion under realistic operating conditions. The research investigates how feedstock composition and catalyst structure influence Fischer–Tropsch synthesis performance during transient operation. You will study variations in CO/CO₂/H₂ ratios, contaminants, and other realistic proc...

This fully funded PhD position at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is part of the National Growth Fund (NGF) project “Groeien met Groen Staal” (GGS), focusing on advancing sustainable and climate-neutral steel production. The research aims to develop an advanced particle-based modelling framework to support the design and optimisation of scrap handling systems for continuous furnace infeed, specifically targeting Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs). The project will investigate how key scrap c...
