PhD and postdoctoral opportunities are available to work on various experimental and theoretical projects at the Micro/Nanophysics Research Laboratory at RMIT University. Current research is focused on elucidating a fundamental understanding of novel micro/nano scale phenomena and on the development of micro/nano-electro-mechanical and microfluidic/nanofluidic devices for a wide spectrum of biomedical engineering, nanomaterials synthesis/manipulation and other applications.
Amongst the projects in microfluidics and nanomaterials currently being pursued are:
Currently, postgraduate stipends are available to support research students towards the award of a 3-year PhD degree. Postgraduate awards such as the Australian Postgraduate Awards, the Endeavour International Postgraduate Research Scholarships and several RMIT University Postgraduate Scholarship schemes are available to cover the fees for international students. Those interested in postdoctoral research are also encouraged to inquire about possible opportunities, funding schemes at both university, national and international level for which are available.
Candidates for the PhD programme are expected to have obtained a good first degree (or equivalent) in Chemical/Mechanical/Materials/Electrical/Biomedical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Applied Mathematics or a related discipline. Candidates for the postdoctoral research associateship should have submitted or are about to submit a PhD thesis.
Those interested are invited to contact Professor Leslie Yeo for further information (Tel.: + 61 3 9925 2596).
Amongst the projects in microfluidics and nanomaterials currently being pursued are:
- Micron/submicron aerosol or nanoparticle synthesis for controlled release drug delivery;
- Cellular engineering for diagnostics and autologous therapeutics;
- Novel synthesis and manipulation strategies of 2D and bulk crystals of novel composite materials (e.g., metal–organic frameworks, transition metal dichalcogenides, MXenes, etc.).
