Applications are invited for a Research Assistant/Associate (Postdoctoral Researcher) in the Department of Engineering, to work in the field of nanotechnology. The post holder will be working in the nanomanufacturing group in Cambridge, UK.
In this project, we aim at the development of new scalable techniques to create highly organized assemblies of carbon nanotubes and graphene using roll-to-roll coating. This process involves understanding of the rheology of nanoparticle suspensions as well as control of colloidal forces between the nanoparticles. The project will follow a methodical approach, bringing together different fields of research ranging from large scale coating technologies to nanoscale material self-assembly techniques.
