2011 Students Exchange Programme at KTH University, Sweden

/ March 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

The majority of exchange students come from Europe, with Germany and France as the most frequent countries of origin. However, KTH also welcomes exchange students from North and Latin America, Asia and Australia every year. In order to be accepted at KTH as an exchange student, the applicant must be enrolled at a partner university, i.e. one with which KTH has an exchange agreement.

Exchange students are nominated by their home university but the final decision of acceptance is made by KTH and is based on the individual assessment of each application. A minimum requirement is that exchange students applying to KTH have completed at least two years of the educational programme at their home university, with grades above average.Contact the International Office or equivalent at your home university for more information regarding exchange opportunities. It is the responsibility of the exchange students to ensure their eligibility for participation in an exchange programme.

PhD Scholarship in Materials Physics, Uppsala University, Sweden

/ March 15, 2011 Leave a Comment

In classical hydrodynamics a non slip boundary condition at the solid – liquid interface is generally assumed for flowing media. With increasing sensitivity of experimental techniques, like e.g. the surface force apparatus (SFA), this assumption was challenged and surface slip was experimentally established in many liquids. However, the microscopic origin of wall slip is not understood and under heavy debate. The project aims to proceed towards an understanding of wall slip on the atomic length scale by combining laboratory techniques with scattering experiments at international facilities. This quest is driven both by a fundamental interest and a large potential for applications.

The successful Ph.D. applicants will explore complex liquids at functionalized surfaces. The work involves sample production using modern coating techniques as well as advanced physical characterization using e.g. AFM, rheology, contact angle as well as x-ray and neutrons scattering.
