Study Area: This PhD scholarship focuses on Circular Printed Electronics, specifically the development of recyclable electronic labels for thermoformed cellulose products. The project aligns with ELICIR’s third axis project, emphasizing the design of circular printed labels. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to contribute to innovative, sustainable technology solutions.
Scholarship Description: The selected PhD student will conduct research at the University of Québec in Trois-Riviéres, supervised by Professor Samaneh Shahgaldi and co-supervised by researcher David Myja. The research project comprises two main parts:
- Development of Recyclable Electronic Paper: This phase involves creating a paper with electronic printing capabilities while ensuring it remains recyclable using standard paper-making equipment. The project will explore the use of nanocellulose, pigments, and biobased additives to achieve the desired properties.
- Application of Electronic Labels: The second part focuses on applying the developed electronic paper as labels on thermoformed cellulose products. The challenge is to achieve this without using adhesives or additional steps, ensuring good adhesion while preserving the electronic device’s functionality. Success in this endeavor would be a groundbreaking achievement for sustainable end products.
Eligibility: We are seeking candidates with the following qualifications:
- Master’s degree in chemistry, physics, mechanics, or a related discipline.
- Excellent organizational skills and a team player.
- Experience in data analysis.
- Knowledge of pulp and paper is relevant.
- Ability to show initiative and work independently.
- Proficiency in spoken and written English.
Required Documents: To apply for this scholarship, please submit the following documents:
- A detailed CV showcasing your academic and research achievements.
- A list of courses taken during your master’s studies and the grades obtained.
- A copy or link to your master’s thesis.
- Contact details of 2-3 references who can speak to your qualifications.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should email their application documents to Samaneh Shahgaldi@uqur.ca and david myja@cegeptr qc.ca.
Last Date: The application deadline for this PhD scholarship opportunity is until position filled. Don’t miss your chance to contribute to cutting-edge research in circular printed electronics and sustainable technology. Apply now!
