Polymeric Materials and NanoComposites (PMNC) group (www.pmnc.ie)  at TCD led by Prof. Ramesh Babu. The mission is to provide world-class research in Polymeric Materials and separation sciences, to act as an intellectual powerhouse and a catalyst for the development of a smart, globally competitive industry sector in Ireland and Europe.  The overarching performance target of the group is to provide the R&D capability that will allow industries to become involved in using the most advanced polymeric materials and tools to create smart products and technology to compete effectively in all markets. We undertake various research and development activities to pursue this goal, including developing novel technologies, analysis, formulation, characterisation, and technology transfer of polymer nanocomposites, separation technologies, bio-based polymers, and conducting polymers and electrospun materials.

An experienced researcher is required in separation technologies and wastewater treatment for an Industry-driven project, IMPRESS (https://impress-he.eu/), co-funded by Horizon Europe. This EU project centred around the EU bioeconomy and blue growth strategies to build a sustainable and zero-waste aquatic food value chain. This multidisciplinary project of specific duration,  led by Teagasc, the Irish Agriculture and Food Development Authority, brings together a consortium of 14 partners involving academic and research institutes, business associations, non-profit organisations and SMEs from seven countries. The project will develop tangible solutions for advancing European marine and freshwater bio-based economies, leveraging the underutilised marine and freshwater low trophic species.
