The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Process Industries: Net Zero (PINZ CDT) is a collaboration between the Process Intensification Group at Newcastle University and the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence at the University of York.
A collaboration between two-world leading groups, the Process Intensification Group (Chemical Engineering, Newcastle University) and the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence (Chemistry, University of York), will work with over 25 industrial partners on more than 55 PhD projects.
The vision of the CDT is to produce the next generation of internationally renowned researchers who are anticipated to go on to a wide variety of careers, including within industry, academia and government.
The researchers will help the process industries transition to more sustainable practices: this includes the pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemicals, and utilities sectors.
Every project will be co-created with industrial partners to address the challenges they face in their transition to Net Zero. Students will receive intensive training throughout their PhDs to become the Net Zero-enabled engineers and chemists that the future process industries need. Based on their research and training, our graduates will become architects and leaders in the transition to Net Zero for process industries in the UK.
