dstl PhD studentship: Electropulsing and nanostructured steels

Imperial College London - Department of Materials

Duration of Studentship: 42 months

Applications are invited for a studentship in the field of electropulse-assistant nano-steel processing, leading to the award of a PhD degree. The post is to conduct research in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London and is supported by an initial bursary of £15,823 p.a. and the tuition fees are paid at the home rate only.

The project is aimed at the development of a three-dimensional nanostructured high carbon steel using electropulsing technique. A fully refurbished laboratory and new electropulsing equipments are available for this project. An in-house code package has been developed to assist the prediction electropulsing behaviour.   

The project is suitable for a student with a background in Materials, Mechanics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or related subject, who can demonstrate the knowledge and motivation to undertake a multidisciplinary based PhD. Applicants should have (or expect to be awarded) an upper second class degree (or equivalent). The position is for EU applicants only due to dstl security policy. The position is available immediately.

For further details of the post contact Dr Rongshan Qin: r.qin [at] imperial.ac.uk (r[dot]qin[at]imperial[dot]ac[dot]uk).

 Dear Dr Qin,
My name is Dr. Abdelkader Nebatti. I am
graduated from Physics departmentOran University,
Algeria in june 2000. Then I
complete my MSc in the field of material science from the Oran University,
Algeria in November 2004. Recently I complete Ph.D. thesis at
the university of
Duisburg-EssenUniversity germany, thermodynamic department in July 2011 under
supervision of Prof. Dr. Burak Atakan. In my PhD, I deal with the synthesis and
characterization of the functional doped metal oxides.
During my MSc and PhD studies, I become well
versed with various experimental techniques. I work intensively on the thin
films synthesis by sol-gel, Chemical Vapor Deposition, and Physical Vapor
Deposition. Also I posses a good knowledge in X-ray, EDX-SEM, and
Photoluminescence spectroscopy.
Now I am looking for a post-doc position or Ph.D position to
have more experience.

  I
would be happy to provide further details if required. I will be available any
time for further possible interview.

I am looking forward to hearing from
you.
Sincerely yours,
Abdelkader nebatti
