What you will study

On this PhD, you’ll have the opportunity to investigate topics ranging from fuel cell systems, biorefining and reverse osmosis to positron emission particle tracking.

You’ll go through a confirmation process in which you’ll produce a report to demonstrate your understanding of the research field and your project results. Your ability to carry out critical literature reviews, demonstrate scientific writing skills, and research and produce meaningful results will be evaluated by your supervisor and two examiners. Once you’ve passed the confirmation stage, your PhD research project can begin.

At the end of the second year, you’ll submit a scientific manuscript draft containing your most important results, as well as a solid plan for writing your PhD thesis.
