PhD scholarship in Liquid Metal-Enabled Fibers for Assistive Wearables - DTU Chemical Engineering

Kort om jobbet

Official occupation: ph.d., naturvidenskab og teknik. Employment conditions: Almindelige vilkår. Employer CVR: 30060946. Primary career market: Public Sector, Education & Impact (employer-sector evidence). Are you motivated by the idea of creating soft materials that can move, sense, and harvest energy, and turning them into wearable technologies? We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate who wants to work at the intersection of soft materials, liquid metals, 3D printing, polymers, and assistive wearable textiles. We aim to develop a new class of multifunctional, liquid metal-enabled silicone fibers that integrate sensing, actuation, and energy harvesting in a single fiber platform. You will join an international research collaboration between DTU and NC State University (Prof. Michael Dickey), combining DTU’s expertise in silicone-based soft fibers and dielectric elastomer actuators with NC State’s internationally recognized expertise in liquid metal materials and processing. Responsibilities and qualifications Your focus will be to develop multifunctional silicone fibers that use liquid metals to enable sensing, actuation, and energy harvesting. You will work experimentally with material formulation, fiber fabrication, and electromechanical characterization1 …
