PhD project

Quantum computation is an exciting development in computer technology, with a theoretical basis that was formalised in the early 1990s. 

Practical-minded technologists are interested in how to design the architecture and the interfaces for these computers, theorists continue to investigate the model and how it contrasts to ‘classical’ computation, and everyone tries to find new techniques to solve problems involving this counterintuitive model of computation. 

Aim:

The overall aim will be to investigate a new reaction scheme for producing ammonia from N2 and water. 

In this interdisciplinary project, you will: 

Review the state-of-the-art technologies for low emission approaches to ammonia production, and particularly chemical looping.

Screen and develop materials for fixing N2 and producing ammonia at mild conditions.

Develop a plasma-assisted system to facilitate ammonia production.
