Description
A fully funded PhD studentship at the University of Cambridge for researchers in chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, or related fields to investigate the micro-scale processes of underground CO₂ and hydrogen storage using magnetic resonance imaging.
- Funding - fully funded 3.5-year studentship open to UK nationals and outstanding international students, starting October 2026
- Research focus - use MRI techniques to study how CO₂ and hydrogen move, interact, and become immobile within rock formations containing brine and residual hydrocarbons
- Supervision - supervised by Professors Lynn Gladden, Mick Mantle, and Andy Sederman in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology
- Impact - findings will help validate numerical models and optimise site selection and injection methods for safe, large-scale energy transition storage
