Fully Funded PhD: Mechanosensitive Nanochannels & 2D Materials

The University of Manchester in Manchester, UK, invites applications for a fully funded PhD (3.5 years) to develop artificial mechanosensitive nanochannels inspired by biological receptors using 2D materials like graphene.

The project combines nanotechnology, materials science, biomimetics, nanofluidics and ion transport, aiming to engineer channels that respond to touch and mechanical stimuli and convert ion transport into electrical signals.
