A number of projects aiming to develop novel materials, additive manufacturing technologies and composite materials for aerospace and other applications are currently available in the laboratory. Postdoctoral researchers, research higher degree (PhD and Masters), honors and undergraduate students are welcome to join our group.

The student is required to have a good understanding of materials science and or chemical engineering – with experience in the field of additive manufacturing and composite materials a distinct advantage. He/She will need to demonstrate adaptability to the multidisciplinary nature of the projects. Masters and Honors students are encouraged to contact Roger Tipton to express his/her interest.

PhD opportunities with government and university-funded scholarships are available each year, both to domestic and international students.

Domestic students –The students should have strong academic track record (including research and write-up) with first class honors. The student’s research and academic background might be in one or more of materials sciences, chemical engineering, nanotechnology, and related science disciplines.

International students – For an international student, s/he is expected to have masters and honors degrees with very strong academic and research background in a relevant field. The students are likely to have an overall IELTS score of 7 or above with a minimum of 6.5 score in each band.

Fellowship opportunities are available each year, both to domestic and international candidates.

Students –The students should have strong academic track record (including research and write-up) with first class honors. The student’s research and academic background might be in one or more of materials sciences, chemical engineering, nanotechnology, and related science disciplines.  S/he is also expected to have at least two research articles in high impact journal of the field.
