PhD: NIR-Driven Micromotors for Biomedical Transport

DTU; Kongens Lyngby; Remoto; DKK 300.000 - 360.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

DTU Health Tech invites applications for a PhD focused on the interface of micro/nanotechnology, biomaterials, and biomedical engineering. You will develop NIR light-activated micromotors for HS tunnel models and fabricate 3D hydrogel systems to study active transport in confined biological environments.

The project combines materials science, microfabrication, and disease modelling, with collaboration across an interdisciplinary team and opportunities to publish internationally.

Competenze

• Two-year master’s degree or equivalent in nanotechnology, chemistry, materials science, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, biotechnology, or related field.
• Strong interest in micro- and nanotechnology and hands-on experimental research.
• Experience with particle fabrication, surface modification, microscopy, microfabrication, or biomaterials is desirable.

Mansioni

• Develop NIR-responsive micromotors and investigate their active transport in HS tunnel models.
• Design and fabricate biodegradable Janus micromotors and 3D hydrogel-based models of HS tunnels.
• Quantify micromotor penetration, transport velocity, and navigation in confined channels.
• Disseminate research findings through publications and conferences.
