Nanyang Environment and Water Research Institute, NTU is looking for a Research Fellow with expertise in heterogeneous catalysis to develop improved catalyst formulations for conversion of plastic waste into carbon nanotubes and hydrogen.
The project is funded by National Environment Agency, Singapore to address one of the largest problems in waste management - the problem of plastic waste pollution. A significant fraction of plastic waste has substandard quality for mechanical and chemical recycling even after sorting and cleaning. The Research Fellow will use pyrolysis-chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology for converting these plastic waste streams (specifically, contaminated and rejected plastics) into multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and hydrogen. The role of Research Fellow is to develop catalysts that will allow to reduce catalyst cost and increase carbon nanotubes yield to make the process more economically viable.
Key Responsibilities:
- Catalyst formulation and testing in pyrolysis-CVD process;- Liaising with toll manufacturers regarding the feasibility of scaled up catalyst production.- Cost-benefit analysis for the developed catalyst(s).- Publishing research papers and documenting developed intellectual property. Reporting the progress to stakeholders (internal and external).
Job Requirements:
- Ph.D. degree in a field relevant to heterogeneous catalysis (e.g., Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Environmental Engineering or other).- PhD thesis or postdoctoral experience related to heterogeneous catalysis for at least one of the following areas: (a) catalytic waste conversion into carbon nanotubes and hydrogen, (b) catalytic single-walled and/or multi-walled carbon nanotube synthesis from any feedstocks.- First-author publications in the areas mentioned above.- High proficiency in English (e.g., TOELF, IELTS, GRE) for preparation of research papers- Ability to prepare well-written technical reports and research papers.- Ability to prepare decent quality presentation decks, figures and illustrations.- Ability to build formal and informal partnerships and work collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives.- Ability to consistently achieve results even under challenging circumstances and understanding what needs to be done to deliver the project.
