The project is conducted in collaboration with the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory (https://pietrodeanna.org) at the University of Lausanne, led by Prof. Pietro de Anna, where the experimental work will be carried out, and with the Theoretical Chemistry group at ETH Zurich (https://reiher.ethz.ch), led by Prof. Markus Reiher, which will perform detailed quantum-chemical calculations of reaction rates.
The research will develop along two closely connected directions. First, the successful candidate will work directly with experimentalists to develop rigorous theoretical and computational frameworks for interpreting experimental results and generating testable predictions.
Second, they will investigate simplified and analytically tractable models aimed at identifying general principles governing non-equilibrium chemical reaction networks.
The position is primarily research-oriented. Contributions to teaching activities may be discussed, including the possibility of supervising Master’s students.
