Offer Description
New technologies are urgently needed to limit micro-plastics release in the aquatic environment. A large contribution to micro-plastics pollution comes from microfibers released from clothes in our washing machines, which cannot be completely filtered with current methods. In the MicroWash project, the team will combine novel experiments and simulations to investigate the fluid mechanical principles of microfiber transport and trapping in filters, and optimize new approaches of active and passive separation of the hardest-to-filter microfibers. MicroWash aims to deliver the next generation of low-cost, high-performance filters for washing machines, to cut microfiber emission at the source. Three PhD positions are available on this project: The three PhD candidates working on the project will collaborate closely with each other and the project offers exciting synergies with both industrial partners and non-profits.
PhD position in the group of Dr. Burak Eral (www.erallab.com ) will be on microfluidics and separations in the Process & Energy Department of Mechanical Engineering department. In this project, you will develop experimental strategies to unravel how micropacticles of distinct physiochemical make up and geometry interact with flow, surrounding boundaries with the application of capturing microparticles.
