Hydrogen is the most abundant molecule in the universe, and it's interaction with surfaces plays a key role in a huge range of processes, from star formation to the safe storage of rocket fuel, to industrial catalysis and green energy production. The aim of this PhD project is to study hydrogen colliding with surfaces at a fundamental, molecular level to gain unprecedented insight into the role that rotations play in gas-surface collisions.

his scholarship covers the full cost of tuition fees and an annual stipend at UKRI rate (currently £19,237 for 2024/25).

Additional research expenses of up to £1,000 per year will also be available.
