PhD position summary/title: PhD position for the development of next-generation high-energy-density supercapacitors
Your role involves exploring various methods to exfoliate graphene nanosheets, and formulating and optimizing slurries for fabricating supercapacitor electrodes. You will be responsible for constructing and evaluating coin and pouch cell supercapacitors, analyzing their morphology and electrochemical behaviors using advanced analytical methods. Additionally, you will gain a deeper understanding of electrode-electrolyte interactions within electrochemical energy storage systems. Your tasks also include developing appropriate synthesis setups and protocols to establish a reliable materials platform. Collaboration with engineers to assess the scalability of your processes is an essential aspect of your role. Throughout the project, you will actively work towards obtaining a PhD degree.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position in the field of small-scale deformation mechanism in hcp alloys
The development of light, strong, ductile and therefore easily formable hexagonal closed pack (hcp) alloys is one of the keys to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emission in aeronautic and transportation industries. Currently, their use as structural material is limited because of their lack of easy slip systems and a plasticity largely adapted by deformation twinning, associated with high residual stresses. The research project aim at investigating the nucleation and propagation mechanisms of deformation twinning in hcp alloys and the role of solute atoms in these processes. This will be done through the development of novel in situ testing experiments (high strain rate, cryo- to high temperatures) combined with advanced characterization techniques for strains, stresses and dislocation analyses at the nanoscale. This includes the development of in situ high-resolution transmission kikuchi diffraction technique (HR-TKD) in SEM, as well as the precession electron diffraction (PED) techniques in TEM.
