Introduction Technologies involving low-carbon renewable fuels are particularly valuable for regions with abundant biomass or high population densities facing waste management challenges. With increasing emphasis on carbon neutrality and sustainable development, the global exchange of net-zero carbon technologies and the development of international talent have become priorities. This project offers internships at the Sustainable Energy and Aerosol Technology Lab (SEAT Lab) within the Department of Environmental Engineering at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Taiwan. Successful candidates will participate in a 4 to 6-month exchange program at SEAT Lab, with the opportunity to arrive in Taiwan before December 31, 2024. Support Each participant will receive a monthly stipend of NT$15,000 (approximately USD 500), totaling NT$60,000 to NT$90,000 (approximately USD 2000 to 3000) for the program duration. Please note that this funding does not cover round-trip airfare. Participants will be provided with accommodation in NCKU student dormitories, with the accommodation fees covered by the TEEP project funds.

Responsibilities
(1) Attend regular and ad-hoc academic meetings at the SEAT Lab.
(2) Participate in research projects at the SEAT Lab.
(3) Assist with research experiments, computational simulations, data analysis, and contributions to research publications.

Prospective Research Areas
(1) Catalytic gasification of biosolids
(2) Characterization of PFAS in atmospheric aerosols within complex emission regions of coastal cities and towns
(3) Analysis of particulate matter from the combustion emissions of nanoparticle-enhanced alcohol-ammonia-gasoline composite fuels depending on the time of their stay, students may have opportunities to engage in academic conferences, cross-team research, and other related activities in Taiwan.

Requirements
