A fantastic PhD opportunity for someone interested in mainly experimental work but with a desire to do some material and computational modelling / analysis. The project is on characterisation and modelling of particulate composite.
Full funding at the Home/EU level.
Closing date is 15th Jan, but if you are interested please have a look through the application requirements before this data.
All informal enquiries welcome. More details at:
Seeking the PHD position (with CSC funding)
Dear Prof. CliveSiviour,
I'm Xiaoliang Fang from BeiHang University, China. I am applying a doctoral study in your University.
I have a strong background of materials science and engineering with full skills at experiments.
My previous research focus on the properties of the metal matrix composites，especially the mechanical properties，and I have published two papers. The first one named entitled "Study on improving “self-sharpening” capacity of W-Cu-Zn alloy by pressureless infiltration method" published in the journal MSEA (IF=2.409). The second one named "Investigation on the penetration performance and “self-sharpening” behavior of the 80W–14Cu–6Zn penetrators" which is published in IJRMHM (IF=1.989)
My current research is focused on the piezoelectric materials,which is synthesized by ceramic(PZT）and polymer(PVDF or PVB).My newest paper named "Investigation on large-area and flexible PZT/PVB/additives composite films for new piezoelectric sensor application" is now under review.
I have already passed the TOEFL English test, and my aggregate score is 85 (reading 26, listening 18, speaking 20 and writing 21).
I would be financially supported by China Scholarship Council(CSC), covering airfares, insurance fee and living cost, as long as my tuition could be exempted by your university.
If needed, I can mail you my curriculum vitae and academic transcript or any other profile.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Best regards!
Yours sincerely,
Xiaoliang Fang
