About the Project
A fully funded PhD scholarship is currently available for an exceptional student with an interest in both sustainable and degradable bioelectronics and materials science. The goal of this project is to develop various laser-scribed graphene (LSG) paper (bio)electronics from lignocellulosic grape marc waste. Such bioelectronics would be of interest in disposable consumer electronics, including skin electronics, medical diagnostics, sustainable energy applications and electrochemical synthesis.
During the course of the project, the student will gain skills in materials science, including chemical functionalisation of materials and materials characterisation, electrochemistry and device fabrication and engineering.
The project is a part of a larger research collaboration on the research programme, ‘Waste to Treasure: Using novel chemistry to valorise residual plant materials”, funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), New Zealand.
The successful applicant will have access to a thriving postgraduate community and opportunities to partner with industry, to develop soft skills, and for commercialisation of their work.
