The plasma group at HES-SO Valais is working on laboratory scale plasma
reactors for various applications in industry. This project focusses on the
development of plasma reactors, for the conversion of mixed plastic waste
into feedstock gases for the chemical industry.

During the 4-year project plasma reactors will be designed, build, tested andoptimized in parallel with simulations of the major processes occurring in
the entire process. Plasma analysis include optical spectroscopy, power
analysis or Langmuir probes. The composition and concentration of the
generated gases will be done inline via FTIR, GC or MS. Solid residues will
be analyzed for example via XRD, EDX, etc.

While the experimental part will be the main occupation, modeling of the
electrical circuits and impedance calculations for power loss analysis will
allow faster prototyping of improved versions and future upscaling to
industrial scale demonstration. Finite element modeling of the plasma may
lead to a better understanding of the chemical reactions and eventually to anoptimization of the plastic conversion process in the plasma.

The candidate will work in the plasma laboratory with state-of-the-art
equipment, in collaboration with electrical and mechanical workshops and
together with the analytical platforms for material and chemical analysis at
HES-SO and the neighboring EPFL. The project covers basic and applied
research, requiring data acquisition, evaluation & management and release in
an open science framework, with the prospect of patenting and publishing in
leading journals and regular participation to conferences.

The successful candidate will integrate the doctoral school at EPFL, who mustapprove the engagement.

Your profile:

‧ Master in experimental physics, microtechnology or electrical engineering
or related field.
‧ Experience with plasma, vacuum technology, spectroscopy, high frequency
(RF) and design tools (CAD) is an advantage.
‧ Besides English, good language skills in French and/or German are a plus.
‧ Highly motivated with self-initiative, curiosity, appeal for novelty.
‧ Strong problem-solving attitude, well organized, with a strong scientific
mindset and a good sense of initiative.
‧ Able to keep track of the results and to present science advancements,
genuine interest in scientific writing.
‧ Good communicator and willing to supervise Bachelor/Master students.
‧ Team player, collaborative and keen to integrate into a multidisciplinary
team.
