The University of Birmingham invites applications for a PhD studentship exploring sprayable metal–organic frameworks that diagnose plant stress, trigger targeted protection, report activation and safe end-of-life. The project aims to reduce routine chemical use and improve crop resilience in real-world conditions.
You will identify stress signals, develop MOFs carrying a protectant and an activation threshold, and assess plant safety and environmental breakdown products while testing
