The project focuses on engineering a platform of flow reactors for the circular synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and biofuels. It will involve the integration of flow chemistry with continuous multi-column preparative chromatography. The PhD project has received European funding and is part of the EU Green Deal objectives. This project ("Green Pharmaceuticals") intends to design new catalytic processes and countercurrent purifications for the manufacturing of small molecules under continuous and circular conditions. The new group member is expected to have a solid background in chemical engineering in its broadest definition (chemical reaction engineering, chemical plants, purification methods). This is an experimental project.
The project is based at Politecnico di Milano, one of the top 12th technical universities in the world, and 3rd in continental Europe together with ETH Zurich and EPFL. In particular, the position is based at the Department of Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering "Giulio Natta" of Politecnico di Milano, which is one of the excellence centers in Europe for catalysis. This department has historically played a key role in catalysis, with the Nobel-prize winning Natta catalyst for polymerizations, and the automotive catalytic converters.
The fellow will be part of the Vilé group, who is doing research at the interface of catalysis and microreactor engineering. To receive additional information and to apply for this position, please send your CV (containing the details of your educational background, professional experience, technical competences, and contact references) to: Prof. Gianvito Vilé (email: [email protected] ).
