Overview

The University of Exeter offers a PhD Studentship focused on bioinspired fluidic metamaterials for passive directional water transport in Devon, UK. Applications close on 8 December 2026. The project aims to explore engineered surfaces inspired by carnivorous plants to control water transport efficiently.

About this role

This PhD project involves a three-step approach to investigate natural plant surfaces and their ability to guide water. The student will engage in characterizing these surfaces, fabricating synthetic replicas, and using advanced 3D-printing technology to study the effects of topographical features on fluid dynamics.

Joining a culturally diverse and interdisciplinary lab, the student will gain skills in surface design, microfabrication, experimental design, and data analysis. This research has significant implications for medical care, resource management, and sustainable manufacturing processes.
