YOU:
Our research is highly interdisciplinary, so we invite applications from candidates across all relevant areas, including but not limited to:
· Chemistry: Nanoporous Material Synthesis (MOFs, COFs, zeolites, polymer, silica), Crystallography, Mechanochemistry
· Physics: Nanofluidics (nanoscale water), Molecular Dynamics, Thermodynamics
· Materials: Colloids (nanofluid), Gel, Polymer
· Mechanics: Solid Mechanics, Rheology, Impact Mechanics, Vibration, Dynamics, Acoustics
·Engineering: Mechanical Design, Mechatronics, Energy Sustainability
You will also gain support from our prestigious UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (>£1 M) with funds for training, career development, research visits, and more! You will be based in the School of Engineering at Birmingham but work closely with colleagues in Chemistry and other schools here as well as our international collaborators. Great opportunity to gain interdisciplinary and collaborative research experience and to build their network and career!
GROUP:
We are an interdisciplinary group working at the boundary of engineering (mechanics), chemistry (MOFs), and physics (nanofluidics). Our recent work is related to the energy absorption of nanoporous materials. Based at the University of Birmingham, we are equipped with outstanding lab facilities from chemical synthesis and material processing to mechanical testing. Check out details at www.ysunlab.com.
BIRMINGHAM:
The University of Birmingham is a Top 100 world’s leading university with its Birmingham 2030 aspiration to be the Top 50 soon. Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK and is well-known for its diversity and welcoming culture to people from all around the world. Sitting in the West Midlands, you have easy access to various industries and national events, and we also have a fantastic local MOF research community.

SUPERVISOR:
Dr Yueting Sun received a dual bachelor's degree in Automotive Engineering and Economics from Tsinghua University in 2010, followed by a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Tsinghua in 2015. He visited the University of California, San Diego as a research assistant in 2013-14, and held the KC Wong Fellowship at the University of Oxford in 2016-18 and a brief postdoc before he moved to Birmingham in Dec 2019 to take up the Lecturer position (UK Assistant Professor). Yueting was recently awarded the prestigious UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship to pioneer the field of nanofluidic energy absorption of MOFs (example on Nature Materials: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-021-00977-6)
