PhD CIFRE - Advanced Printed Enzymatic Biofuel Cells - BeFC & Université Grenoble Alpes (Grenoble, France)

Topic description

BeFC is looking for a PhD candidate (3 years) for a joint industrial thesis program (CIFRE) supported by a partnership with the Université Grenoble Alpes (with Dr Alan Le Goff and Dr. Andrew J. Gross) in the field of Biofuel Cells with a focus on electrochemistry and surface chemistry.

The candidate will focus on the engineering of several concepts for novel high-performative bioelectrodes several different methodologies.

The position requires understanding of the chemistry between polymeric substances and biological molecules such as enzymes and physicochemical/electrochemical characterisation of those biofunctionalised components.

The candidate will be working at two different sites: BioCEN, Département de Chimie Moléculaire, at Université Grenoble-Alpes (UGA), and BeFC SAS, at Techniparc Grand Île, Villard-Bonnot.

Enzymatic oxygen/glucose fuel cells represent a majo...
