3 PhD Scholarships in Materials and Surface Technology, Denmark

2011-Doctoral Scholarship in the field of Materials and Surface Technology at DTU in Denmark

Study Subject: Materials and Surface Technology
Employer: DTU
Level: PhD

Scholarship Description: Department of Mechanical Engineering is looking for 3 Ph.D. in Materials and Surface Technology related to strengthen our strategic research activities in Materials in Sustainable Energy Applications.
The section for Materials and Surface Engineering is involved in externally financed national and international strategic research programs through which the following Ph.D. positions have become available.

Modeling of high temperature corrosion of metals in biomass-fired power plants (financed through the Danish Research Council for Strategic Research).This PhD project addresses the modeling of the interaction of metallic materials with aggressive environments as occurring in biomass fired power plants, most notably under hot corrosion conditions. A combination of materials modeling and experimental investigations under laboratory conditions will be used to arrive at designing alternative materials that potentially can withstand hot corrosion environments.


Scholarship Application Deadline: May 2nd 2011.
