Opportunities

I am currently seeking a highly motivated PhD student whose interests align with our research in thermochemical energy conversion, methane pyrolysis, and carbon-forming systems. Students with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, or materials science are especially encouraged to apply, particularly if they have experience in combustion, catalysis, thermal systems, experiments, or transport and reaction modeling. If you are interested in doctoral research in these areas, please contact me directly at franciscocepeda@oakland.edu. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and value diverse perspectives in our group.

Motivated Oakland University undergraduate students are also encouraged to get involved in research in the E-Carbon Lab. If you are curious about thermal systems, carbon formation, experiments, or computational modeling, there are opportunities to contribute at different levels.
