ARC Linkage PhD scholarship IPRI/Boston Scientific at University of Wollongong

Scholarship Description

The PhD student will undertake fundamental corrosion studies on materials to be produced in the linkage project. These materials include specific metal alloys provided by the inductry partner Boston Scientific. The corrosion studies will involve the use of standard corrosion testing instrumentation (e.g. impedance spectroscopy) as well more advanced techniques such as scanning electrochemical microscopy. The PhD student will work closely with other researchers on the project both with in ACES and Boston Scientific.
