Hiring: Fully funded Master's position in Materials Engineering at UBC Materials Engineering at The University of British Columbia.
Project Title: Towards Absolute Sustainability Descriptors for Materials Design in Energy and Environmental Applications
Project Description: This project reimagines materials design through an absolute sustainability lens. Using computational tools, you will develop materials design descriptors informed by environmental impact and human well-being for heterogeneous catalysis applications. This work will be trans-disciplinary, integrating principles from materials engineering, industrial ecology, and computational social science. The research outcomes from this project will provide material substitution candidates that optimize for both efficiency and impact.
Interested applicants can send their CV and research goals to karthik.akkiraju@ubc.ca by September 30, 2025.
