PhD - CDT Criticat

ESPRC, the University of Edinburgh, University of St Andrews, Heriot-Watt University and Criticat

Heriot-Watt University, along with the Universities of St Andrews and Edinburgh, are hosts to CRITICAT, the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Critical Resources Catalysis. At Heriot-Watt this CDT is based within the Institute of Chemical Sciences and the Institute of Mechanical, Process and Energy Engineering.

CRITICAT provides PhD training across the full breadth of catalysis, and spans homogeneous, heterogeneous and bio catalysis, as well as reaction engineering. The CDT is training the next-generation of leaders by tackling one of the great challenges faced by society: our over-reliance on non-sustainable, fossil-fuel-based energies and products. Innovation in catalysis is central to tackling this problem, both through the efficient use of currently available feedstocks in developing new catalytic methods and procedures and the utilization of renewable resources.
