The Faculty of Science and Technology (700 faculty members, 1100 students) offers a range of bachelor and master courses (NanoTechnology, Applied Physics, Chemical Engineering and Technical Medicine). The faculty’s research is organized in three of the university’s interdisciplinary research institutes: MESA+, MIRA, and IMPACT. These institutes increase the vitality of research by enabling collaboration between programs and disciplines, by providing shared facilities, and by attracting funding for joint projects. They also provide a conduit to industrial and other external partners.
In the group of Physics of Complex Fluids at the University of Twente (Enschede, the Netherlands)
Several PhD and Postdoc positions
Are available in the context of micro- and nanofluidics, involving in particular oil-water two-phase flows and the specific interactions of the two phases with solid channel walls. The areas of interest include fluid dynamics, interfacial physics, wetting, physical chemistry and molecular interaction forces. The various projects involve a number of techniques including aspects of micro- and nanofabrication, various optical microscopy and spectroscopy techniques (high speed video, (multiple beam) interferometry, ellipsometry, confocal Raman microscopy), atomic force microscopy, as well as numerical simulations (CFD) to complement the experiments.
