PhD position in predicting Thermodynamics and Processes for Circular Carbon Plastics

The Energy and Process Systems Engineering (EPSE) Group at ETH Zürich is looking for a doctoral student to work on the new generation of prediction methods for the complex fluids and separation processes involved in the solvent-based recycling of plastics.

The EPSE group, led by Prof. Dr. André Bardow, is dedicated to advancing sustainable energy and chemical process systems. Our research spans from the molecular level to the scale of systems. We develop simulation and experimental methods to advance sustainable energy and chemical processes from the molecular to the system scale.

Project background

The vision of our recently funded ERC Advanced Grant DISC3Lab is to devise a validated discovery loop for sustainable chemical processes, targeting the solvent-based recycling of plastics. Chemical recycling is a key element of a transition towards ...
