ARC DECRA Project PhD Scholarship

The outcomes can result in innovative strategies for maximising thermoelectric performance in broader materials and lead to significant progress in knowledge of materials science, solid-state physics, and chemical science. Thermoelectric devices assembled from as-obtained high-efficiency materials can be used for recovering waste-heat in mining industries and harvesting the waste-heat from engines to improve fuel consumption efficiency, which will strategically boost Australia's energy industry, environment, and economy.

Stipend of AUD $32,000 per annum.
Maximum period of tenure of an award is three years. Periods of study already undertaken towards the degree will be deducted from the period of tenure.
