PhD in Materials Science

Applications are invited for a PhD project within the University of Nottingham’s Centre for Additive Manufacturing (CfAM) in the Faculty of Engineering./nThis studentship will leverage advances in 3D printing to enable on-demand medicines manufacture by combining flow synthesis, biocatalysis and 3D printing./nThe student will design and 3D print new high-efficiency flow reactor geometries and explore downstream components including novel chemical separators and co-factor recycling units. The project will test efficacy of commercial enzymes for the synthesis of medicine intermediates gifted by industrial partners Johnson Matthey. Work will be conducted at the University of Nottingham’s Centre for Additive Manufacturing using an ultra-high-resolution projection micro-stereolithography (PµSL) system and a multi-material inkjet platform./nPhD start date: October 2026. Duration: 42 months.
