Offer Description

Photo- and electroresponsive micro-and nanostructured functional materials (PERMINAMAT); 2021 SGR 01085

Opportunity to join an interdisciplinary group focused on the use of organic molecules, incorporated into nano- and micro-structured platforms, that perform functions upon light irradiation and electrical stimulus.

The PhD candidate will work within the multidisciplinary group of research consolidated funded by the Generalitat de Catalunya, led by Professor L. Pérez-García. The research project involves the preparation and characterization of nanostructured responsive materials and their functionalization to make them functional, mainly for biological and energy applications. The tasks will include a) organic synthesis and characterization at the molecular level, b) synthesis and functionalization of nanostructured materials and their characterization at the nanoscale, and c) study of their responsiveness and actuation.
