Subject Area
Nano-Enabled Medical Devices for Precision Healthcare (Analytical Chemistry)
Medical devices are increasingly being transformed through the integration of advanced functional materials capable of actively interacting with biological systems.
This PhD project focuses on developing next-generation nano-enabled medical devices by combining advanced nanomaterial synthesis, innovative manufacturing technologies, surface engineering techniques.
The research includes synthesis of functional nanomaterials using flame spray pyrolysis, integration of nanomaterials into medical device platforms using aerosol-based coating and deposition technologies.
The project aims to develop multifunctional materials and engineered surfaces with tailored physicochemical and biological properties for applications including wound dressings, microneedle systems, biosensors, advanced biomaterial-based medical devices.
Responsibilities
The PhD student will design and synthesize next-generation functional nanomaterials using flame spray pyrolysis; develop aerosol-based coating and deposition technologies; engineer nano-enabled medical devices with functionalities including antimicrobial activity, biomarker detection, controlled therapeutic delivery, enhanced tissue regeneration, stimuli-responsive behaviour; establish structure-property-function relationships; work within an interdisciplinary research environment; disseminate research through publications and conferences.
Qualification Requirements
Applicants must have completed a second-cycle degree or at least 240 higher education credits including at least 60 second-cycle credits. Specific requirements: at least 90 credits in chemistry at undergraduate level, an advanced-level course in analytical chemistry worth at least 15 credits, an independent advanced-level research project worth at least 30 credits.
