Fundamental challenges in transforming synthetic and energy based materials are increasingly being met using inorganic chemical solutions. As society moves from fossil fuel obtained starting materials to biomass derived feedstocks, the ability to deoxygenate and/or functionalise carbon-oxygen bonds will be ever-more important. A studentship for a PhD project is being offered aiming to achieve such transformations utilizing non-traditional inorganic systems (e.g. Frustrated Lewis Pairs), allowing for the development of cheaper, less environmentally toxic inorganic catalytic systems. Interested applicants with a 2:1 degree or higher may apply directly to Dr Rowan Young (rowan.young@nus.edu.sg) prior to the 15th of November. The studentship will commence in August of 2015. For more information, please feel free to contact Dr Young…
