Project descriptionThird-cycle subject: Fibre and Polymer Science In our group, we focus on organic and electronics and solar cells based on sustainable, bio-based materials. Starting from the thinnest conductive paper, we use advanced thin film technologies to apply functional layers by spray deposition as rapid, versatile, scalable, and industrially relevant thin film technology. This project aims to develop novel all-sprayed solar cells. Here, it is crucial to elucidate the underlaying nanostructure-process-functionality (e.g. photovoltaic efficiency) relationship; thus, the work includes design and development of spray deposition for cellulose-based polymer solar cells including in situ experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities, such as MAX IV in Lund, at synchrotrons in Germany, Europe, and USA as well as neutron scattering at European and international neutron sources. We thus expect the student to travel abroad for experimental work. Supervision: Prof. Stephan V. Roth, Prof. Daniel Söderberg, and Prof. Eva Malmström are proposed to supervise the doctoral student. Decisions are made on admission. What we offer
Admission requirementsTo be admitted to postgraduate education (Chapter 7, 39 § Swedish Higher Education Ordinance), the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following:
Project specific requirements:
In addition to the above, there is also a mandatory requirement for English equivalent to English B/6. SelectionIn order to succeed as a doctoral student at KTH you need to be goal oriented and persevering in your work. During the selection process, candidates will be assessed upon their ability to:
Other preferred qualifications:
After the qualification requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal skills. Target degree: Doctoral degreeInformation regarding admission and employmentOnly those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years ' time. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g. training and administration. A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time. In the case of studies that are to be completed with a licentiate degree, the total period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education for two years.
