Understanding the atomic and electronic structure of particulate matter from theory and experiment

该博士项目的目标是利用精确的第一性原理计算和最先进的透射电子显微镜测量相结合，深入了解颗粒物（PM）的原子和电子结构，并将这些见解与肺部的不良健康影响联系起来。由此产生的详细的机制理解将为减轻污染影响的有针对性的方法铺平道路，例如通过改进催化剂或绿色基础设施

The goal of this PhD project is to gain insights into the atomic and electronic structure of particulate matter (PM) using a combination of accurate first-principles calculations and state-of-the-art transmission electron microscopy measurements and to correlate these insights with adverse health effects in the lung. The resulting detailed mechanistic understanding will pave the way towards a targeted approach for mitigating the effects of pollution, for example via improved catalysts or green infrastructure
