Student Projects

Within our section there are always possibilities for students to do a bachelor or master research project within the research projects listed. The student projects will generally be part of a current PhD project. However, the student will always be challenged to bring in his own initiative and creative input.

Before starting a master research project within the MECS group, we recommend that you follow these two courses:

·         Structural Characterisation, CH3651 (De Smet/Kooyman/Eelkema)
·         Functional Ceramics, CH3531

Usually several other projects are available. Here, we list only the most urgent projects available. If you are interested please contact Prof. Bernard Dam or any of the other staff members in the section.
