Job Description
The candidate will work with research and development projects exploring the synthesis, classification, purification, passivation/functionalisation of carbon-based nanomaterials at the Centre for Advanced 2D Materials at the National University of Singapore.
- Propose, conduct, and optimise synthesis methods of carbon-based nanomaterials
- Propose, conduct, and optimise size classification methods
- Propose, conduct, and optimise purification methods
- Propose, conduct, and optimise passivation/functionalisation methods
- Review technical and scientific literature and prepare presentations or proposals for discussion
- Design, establish, and write standard operating procedures for processing routes, equipment usage, and training
- Calibrate and maintain equipment assigned
- Perform laboratory analysis, evaluate and discuss the results, and present reports
- Manage general laboratory inventory (e.g., consumable inventory)
