PhD in MRI elastography and shear measurements of self-healing materials - Wageningen, Nederland - Wageningen University & Research
Beschrijving
Your job
The Self-healing under stress project builds on complementary developments between the Laboratory of Biophysics (BIP) and Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter (PCC) research groups at WUR, respectively on in situ MRI techniques and synthetic bio-inspired polymers and multi-scale modelling, creating an interdepartmental team of 2 PhD candidates working of unravelling supramolecular hierarchical mechanisms. Our interdisciplinary team at the intersection of chemistry and physics will answer this fundamental question: while a material is just a collection of individual chemical bonds, how do these bonds coordinate and dynamically adapt, at the meso-scale, to restore the macroscopic physical integrity of the material?
The goal of this PhD position is to characterize, in situ and in real-time, the multi-scale supramolecular behaviour of a wide range of real-life adaptive networks, encompassing hydrophobic, electrostatic and intramolecular interactions, during or after shear/tensile deformation. NMR/MRI measurements will be conducted, on materials synthesized by the other PhD candidate at PCC, using state-of-the-art high-field spectrometers available at the MAGNEtic resonance FacilitY (MAGNEFY) in WUR, where all these methods are, or can be, implemented on 7 T or 14 T wide-bore spectrometers. Where needed, the worldwide most advanced ultra-high field NMR spectrometers (22 or 28 T) available within the Dutch uNMR-NL consortium will also be used to boost sensitivity and chemical/spatial resolution. All technical developments will be carried out with the support of the workshops at WUR and BIP.
Your duties and responsibilities include:
The research is embedded within the (BIP), an international research group with leading expertise in the development and application of spectroscopic and imaging techniques relevant to bio-/soft-matter science. BIP provides access to advanced state-of-the-art NMR/MRI spectroscopy equipment at the NMR research facility. MAGNEFY operates as Magnetic Resonance facility for (agro)food, life sciences, and biobased research research and is an integral part of the distributed uNMR-NL ROADMAP infrastructure. MAGNEFY houses five high-field NMR spectrometers up to 16T.
Your qualities
You are an ambitious and enthusiastic scientist. Your profile should signal:
