Project description
Carbon nanomaterials show significant promise as environmentally favourable alternatives to rare earth minerals for future nanoelectronic device platforms. The ability to pursue them, however, is completely dependent on the ability to image and discern sp2 and sp3 forms. In our laboratory we have been perfecting a technique for imaging the hybridisation of carbon on surfaces, which has not yet otherwise been achieved. To make this technique a routine form of analysis, a platform for importing, processing and presenting data maps will be needed in Matlab with the image processing toolkit.

Assumed knowledge
Experience or a significant willingness to learn advanced programming techniques with Matlab or similar software environment
Industry involvement
Note: You need to register interest in projects from different supervisors (not a number of projects with the one supervisor).
You must also contact each supervisor directly to discuss both the project details and your suitability to undertake the project.
