Offer Description
The project, financed by the EU project PLANKT-ON aims to develop the first photosynthetic protocells capable of utilizing sunlight, water and CO2 to autonomously and continuously synthesize O2 and fuels at low costs. The student will develop these preliminary results into groundbreaking research following their interests and attitudes with the support of a higly dynamic and international research group. Through this multidisciplinary project, the student will develop skills in synthetic chemistry, polymer chemistry, soft materials chemistry, photocatalysis and biochemistry. The protocells that will be developed and their reactivity will be characterized via advanced spectroscopic (NMR, UV-vis and fluorescence) and microscopy (brightfield, darkfield, fluorescence, and electron) methods. The student will join a dynamic and highly interdisciplinary research group with important ties with the University of Bristol (UK), the University of Western Ontario (Canada), and the CEA Institute of Grenoble (France), where a period abroad could be organized.
