Currently looking for a PhD candidate to undertake research as part of the Australian Research Council-funded project, Biorefining of Agricultural Biomass into Low-Cost Carbon Materials for Sodium Ion Battery Applications (LP240100202). The primary focus of this role is to develop a novel carbonisation approach for lignin modification to achieve high electrochemical performance for energy storage applications. This project includes gaining proficiencies in advanced materials characterisation and electrochemical testing. Success in this role requires collaboration with Queensland University of Technology and an industry partner.
