Join NowThe ANU Battery Storage and Grid Integration Program and The Research School of Chemistry, ANU, are looking for a talented and motivated PhD student interested in the visualisation of batteries and the processes occurring in these electrochemical devices by means of x-ray computed tomography (CT).
The research project will be undertaken using the facilities of the National Laboratory for X-ray Micro Computed Tomography, the ANU Battery Storage and Grid Integration Program (BSGIP) and the ANU Research School of Chemistry (RSC):
https://chemistry.anu.edu.au/
The project will be co-supervised by Associate Professor Alexey Glushenkov (BSGIP and RSC) and Associate Professor Mohammad Saadatfar (CT Lab).
Applicants with a background in physics, engineering or materials science with experience in computer modelling are encouraged to apply. The minimum requirement is an Honours or Master degree with a sufficient research component and the level of university grades consistent with ANU requirements for postgraduate scholarships and fee waivers.
Computer skills in image analysis, numerical modelling and finite element multi-physics simulations as well as coding skills are an advantage. The PhD candidate is expected to work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team requiring a high level of communication and scientific writing skills. Due to current COVID restrictions, only domestic and international students based in Australia are eligible to apply.
An Expression of Interest (EOI), consisting of a CV and cover letter should be submitted to Associate Professor Alexey Glushenkov ()

The ANU Battery Storage and Grid Integration Program and the Research School of Chemistry, ANU, are looking for a talented and motivated PhD student interested in in-situ transmission electron microscopy of batteries.
The research project will be undertaken using the facilities of the ANU Centre for Advanced Microscopy, the Battery Storage and Grid Integration Program (BSGIP) and the Research School of Chemistry (RSC):

The researchers at ANU have established an exciting and unique capability of electrochemical experiments in liquid cells inside of transmission electron microscopes (TEM). The available equipment and in-situ holder bring the opportunity to build realistic battery and three-electrode cells with liquid electrolytes and visualise the processes in battery electrode materials and electrolytes in operating batteries by TEM:
