PhD scholarship in Zero Boil-Off for Liquid Hydrogen Storage using Magnetic Refrigeration

This PhD scholarship is funded by a project focused on mega-scale liquid hydrogen storage with super-insulated full-containment and zero-boil-off technology. The research opportunity is designed for candidates with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, or physics who possess strong mathematical, engineering, and physics capabilities. The scholarship supports doctoral research in the emerging field of hydrogen storage technology, specifically addressing the challenge of preventing boil-off in liquid hydrogen storage systems through the application of magnetic refrigeration techniques. Candidates with experience and interest in liquid hydrogen research, hydrogen liquefaction, magnetic refrigeration, cryogenic engineering, super magnets, and cryostat design will be particularly well-suited for this opportunity.
