Call for Abstract at the 2024 International Conference on Materials and Energy (ICOME2024), 30 October - 1 November 2024 Coordinator: David Lacroix
(david.lacroix@univ-lorraine.fr)

To continue the legend of the International Conference on Materials and Energy (ICOME) starting since 2015, this year the University of Lorraine would like to invite you to join the event in Bangkok, during 30 October to 1 November 2024. The conference is organized by King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB) - the second-ranked university in Thailand in terms of research quality by THE World University Rankings 2024 - in collaboration with  the University of Lorraine, France.

"We aim to continue the spirit of the conference by maintaining the scientific quality of the presented works in materials and energy topics, which are of paramount importance during this period when we are moving towards sustainable development and carbon neutrality goals. Such scientific quality can be achieved only with contributions from you as experts in these domains. So, please save the date, book a ticket, and have a look in detail of the conference on the following website: https://www.icome2024.com/."

Then see you in Bangkok for the ICOME 2024.

PhD Position at the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER) Coordinator: Anja Bieberle
(a.bieberle@differ.nl)

Electrochemical materials and interfaces are present in many energy systems, such as fuel cells, batteries, or water splitting devices. The performance of such devices is strongly related to the materials and interface properties. Therefore, understanding and tuning of these properties are crucial in order to reach highest performance and to supply alternative, sustainable energy solutions for the future.

In this frame, we recently received a grant for two PhD students, one on experiments and one on modeling. The scientific aim of this grant is to identify the limitations at photo-electrochemical water splitting interfaces by intertwining operando spectroscopy with microkinetic modeling.

Post-Doc position at Uni of Oviedo Coordinator: Roberto Luis Iglesias Pastrana
(roberto@uniovi.es)

Applications are sought for a postdoctoral position at the University of Oviedo under the supervision of Profs. Víctor García Suárez and Roberto Iglesias Pastrana.

The aim is to theoretically study and develop next generation photoelectrochemical cells within the European project NEXPECH2.

Candidates should have experience in DFT simulations with various codes and methods and expertise with numerical simulations in general. Experience in machine learning methods and their application to materials science is also desirable. Mastery of relevant multiscale modelling techniques is an extra asset.

The working place is in Oviedo, one of the cleanest and safest cities in Europe, which is also the capital of Asturias, a northern Spanish region with plenty of wildlife, mountains and coast (on some occasions you could even go skiing in the morning and surfing in the afternoon).

For enquiries, please contact Profs. Víctor García Suárez (garciavictor@uniovi.es) or Roberto Iglesias Pastrana (roberto@uniovi.es).
