Dr. Danmeng Shuai in Civil and Environmental Engineering at The George Washington University (GW) and Dr. Yun Shen in Chemical and Environmental Engineering at University of California, Riverside (UCR) are planning to recruit one to two self-motivated Ph.D. student(s) in nanotechnology for environmental pathogen control. Dr. Shuai has extensive experiences in nanocatalysis and electrospinning, and Dr. Shen has strong background in the persistence, transmission, and inactivation of environmental pathogens. The Ph.D. students are expected to be recruited by either GW or UCR under the supervision of Drs. Shuai and Shen (advisor and co-advisor), and work on developing new nanomaterials or nanotechnology for controlling pathogenic biofilms or respiratory viruses (including SARS-CoV-2) in built environment. The students are also expected to understand the prevalence, persistence, transmission, and attenuation of environmental pathogens, and identify key interactions between nanomaterials and pathogens. Candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Danmeng Shuai danmengshuai(at)gwu.edu and Dr. Yun Shen senyun11(at)gmail.com by sending a copy of CV, transcript, GRE and TOEFL/IELTS, and a list of three references. Please explain how your past research/study experiences and your future research interests are aligned with the project in the email. Prospective students with background in chemistry, (micro)biology, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, biomedical engineering, and environmental engineering are strongly encouraged to apply. We are also interested in taking students for internship if GRE/TOEFL/IELTS score is not available at this moment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prospective students who are interested in continuing Ph.D. study after the internship are encouraged to contact us.
