Catalysis in the Cardiff Catalysis Institute
Position Details (PhD Program)
The School of Chemistry fromCardiff University has particular strengths in Heterogeneous Catalysis, Homogeneous Catalysis and Surface Science, including the Cardiff Catalysis Institute (CCI) dedicated to this exciting area of study.
As part of the Chemistry (PhD/MPhil) programme from Cardiff University , students can conduct their research within this Catalysis in the Cardiff Catalysis Institute .
Catalysis lies at the heart of many chemical processes, from the academic research lab through living systems to the industrial large-scale reactor. By understanding and careful use of catalysis many processes can be made faster, cleaner and more sustainable.
Distinctive features
- We are the largest research grouping in catalysis in the UK
- Our research activities cover most areas of catalysis
- We are one of the founder members of the UK Catalysis Hub.
Career Prospects
The career prospects for graduates of this programme are excellent. Recent graduates have a gone on to work for a number of well-known international companies including Jaguar Land Rover and Johnson Matthey.
Particular research strengths include:
- Gold catalysis
- Environmental catalysis
- Photocatalysis
- Biocatalysis
- Electrocatalysis
- Catalyst discovery
- Catalyst synthesis
