If you join us, you will have opportunities to investigate topics ranging from fuel cell systems, biorefining and reverse osmosis to positron emission particle tracking. As a PhD student you will go through a confirmation process in which you will need to produce a report to demonstrate your understanding of the research field and your project results. Your ability to carry out critical literature review, scientific writing skills and ability to carry out research and produce meaningful results will be evaluated by your supervisor and two examiners. Once you have passed the confirmation stage, your PhD research project can begin. At the end of the second year, you will be expected to submit a scientific manuscript draft containing your most important results, as well as a solid plan for writing up your PhD thesis. This will be evaluated by your supervisor and examiners, and necessary support will be provided. You will be encouraged to complete your PhD within 36 months, and you should submit your PhD thesis within 48 months. Your PhD thesis will be evaluated by two examiners (one external to the University). There will be also a formal meeting for you to defend your thesis with the two examiners questioning. The two examiners will then make recommendation based on their evaluation. The Department of Chemical and Process Engineering offers a dynamic and friendly environment for research. You will be provided with the necessary support to carry out your research projects and have access to expertise and facilities across the University, and externally when necessary. Depending on the nature of your project, you will work in labs, offices and in external institutions. If your project is experimental in nature, you will likely spend a lot of time in labs carrying out the research. If your project is computational in nature, you will likely work mainly within offices with computers. You will also have opportunities to work externally if your project involves such collaborations. The PhD programme is organised to support your progress as a PhD student. There will be a review with your supervisors every six months to discuss past progress, research directions, difficulties encountered and support needed. Your supervisor will offer their expertise in the research field, support in establishing necessary equipment and research conditions, guidance in the project overall research direction and results interpretation, and support in scientific writings.
