This will involve studying the short and long-range ordering preceeding the emergence of nanostructures in solution and structure-function relation of materials. The focus will be on identifying the relevant time scales and develop new experimental protocols. The candidates will perform, either independently, or in the collaboration with the group members, LUCENT II project members and international collaborators, X-ray synchrotron experiments and analyse the data.

The teaching load comprises 2 hours p/w.
