PhD scholarships in USA

We are looking for talented individuals (PhD students and postdoc scholars) to work on a very challenging yet exciting project funded by Department of Energy (DOE). The project will use deep learning models to design novel solvents and nanomaterials to recover critical metal from spent batteries. Our team will collaborate closely with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to access their world-class user facilities including neutron scattering, nanomaterials synthesis, nanofabrication, and characterization instrumentations. Through this research we hope to address a more sustainable and resilient supply chain for critical minerals by moving away from processing technologies with large CO2 footprints.  if you are interested in this opportunity please reach out to myself Contact person: j.shi@uky.edu
