Research assistant (master's thesis, plant design) Aalto University is a community of bold thinkers where science and art meet technology and business. We are committed to identifying and solving grand societal challenges and building an innovative future. Aalto University has six schools with nearly 20 000 students and more than 400 professors. Our campuses are located in Espoo and Helsinki, Finland. The Department of Biotechnology and Chemical Technology is looking for a Master’s Thesis student in the area of Plant design We are looking for a highly motivated student to carry out intensive project work in the Plant design research group under the topic of Studies of supported catalyst for hydrogenation process. The duration of the work is maximum 5 months. The work consists of research for the effect of acidity and on the characteristics and performance of supported suspension catalyst that is to be used instead of pure metallic catalyst in the hydrogenation process. The selection of catalyst affects the plant operating and investment costs noticeably.
