PhD Graphene NOWNANO CDT in Manchester United Kingdom | The University of Manchester

The Graphene NOWNANO program provides a four-year PhD training initiative in Nanoscience. Our mission is to educate future scientists capable of unlocking the immense possibilities of graphene and similar two-dimensional materials, fostering innovation across the UK, Europe, and globally. Often called a wonder material, graphene possesses exceptional electronic, mechanical, optical, chemical, and biocompatible characteristics, making it ideal for diverse applications. Other 2D materials like boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides have recently shown promise, enabling the creation of "materials on demand"—engineered substances with tailored properties not found naturally.

Global research and development in these fields have surged, resulting in breakthroughs like inov-8's award-winning graphene-enhanced commercial products.

As the birthplace of graphene research, The University of Manchester remains at the forefront, driving advancements from fundamental physics to engineering, chemistry, characterization, and biomedical uses. Lancaster University contributes vital expertise in theoretical modeling and specialized experimental methods.

The Graphene NOWNANO CDT offers an interdisciplinary PhD curriculum designed to train researchers in collaborative, boundary-crossing approaches to scientific challenges.
