About

Applicants are invited for a PhD position in computational chemistry in the newly formed group of Dr. Andrew Logsdail at the Cardiff University. The PhD student will investigate emergent research topics in materials chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis using computational techniques, in close collaboration with on-going experimental work at the Cardiff Catalysis Institute.

Overview

In particular, the project will use hybrid QM/MM embedded-cluster modelling to study the structure, stability and reactivity of precious-metal (Au, Ag, Pd) nanoparticles, supported on both pristine and defective metal oxide surfaces, such as TiO2.

Programme Structure

Such systems are of particular current interest for photocatalytic hydrogen generation [1-3] and therefore a focus of the work will be on identifying key attributes of the nanoparticle-surface interaction that may impact the catalytic capabilities of the systems.
