Supervisor
Dr Yueting Sun received a dual bachelor's degree in automotive engineering and economics from Tsinghua University in 2010, followed by a PhD in mechanical engineering from Tsinghua in 2015. He visited the University of California, San Diego as a research assistant in 2013-14, held the KC Wong fellowship at the University of Oxford in 2016-18, and completed a brief postdoc before moving to Birmingham in Dec 2019 to take up the lecturer position (UK assistant professor), and became Associate Professor in Aug 2023. Yueting was awarded the prestigious UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship to pioneer the field of MOF-based nanofluidic energy absorption.
Our research is highly interdisciplinary, so we welcome candidates from different areas:
Chemistry: nanoporous material synthesis (MOFs, COFs, zeolites, polymer, silica), crystallography, mechanochemistry
Physics: nanofluidic (nanoscale water), molecular dynamics, thermodynamics
Materials: colloids (nanofluid), gel, polymer
Mechanics: solid mechanics, rheology, impact mechanics, vibration, dynamics, acoustics
Engineering: mechanical design, mechatronics, energy sustainability
