University of Cambridge Graduate Scholarship 2025 in UK (Fully Funded)
Applications are invited for two 3.5-year PhD studentships based in the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, supervised by Dr Alexander Forse.
The first project will develop improved electrochemical energy storage devices known as supercapacitors, and the second project will develop new low-cost materials for capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Research in the Forse group centres around the development of new materials for climate change mitigation. In the first available project, we will develop improved electrodes for supercapacitor energy storage devices.
Building on recent work from the group that discovered the role of disorder in enhancing energy storage, we will target highly disordered electrode materials to enhance capacitance. In the second project, we will develop new low-cost materials based on activated charcoal that can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The University of Cambridge Scholarship provides a maintenance grant at the standard UKRI rate (£19,237 per year) and tuition fees at the UK/home rate.
