Make a difference.  Expand your horizons.

Ultrafine particles are deadly, and formed by power generation, material processing and combustion processe

Ultrafine particles stay airborne for a long time without settling.

Ultrafine particles are small enough to penetrate lungs and enter cells.

Ultrafine particles are suspected to play a role in cloud-formation and rainfall disruption

Advance your career, help save the atmosphere and earn a

 PhD with strong industrial relevance

With YOUR HELP industrial emissions of ultrafine particles can be controlled at the source!
In conjunction with established Industry partners (Indigo Technologies Ltd) and the FMEC group at the University of Adelaide you will be working on the optimisation of a patented and demonstrated process for ultrafine particle removal.

The internationally renown FMEC group at Adelaide University (Olympic Flames, GyroTherm burner) is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic researcher interested in joining our ultra-fine particle removal team as a PhD student.


        Topics offered include:
        Computation Fluid Mechanics
        Advance laser-diagnostics
        Technology development and optimisation


You will need a strong qualification in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering or Physics.
A strong analytical mind. Ability to work both within a team and independently. An enthusiasm for International travel. Strong written and verbal communication skills and a passion about making a difference.

Permanent residency is required for a scholarship.
