Dr.Sivakumar +6012-4393120 srsivakumar@usm.my	Looking for PhD candidate The research focus will be on the investigation of the yellowing chromaticity mechanism in UV/blue light-emitting diode (LED) encapsulant with metal coupled Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) particle filler using experimental design and mathematical analyses. This research aims to experimentally quantify and mathematically formulate and refine the desirable optimality of optical and photocatalytic properties of potential metal coupled TiO2 particles to elucidate and reduce significantly the yellowing chromaticity mechanism(s) in LED’s encapsulant as substitutional filler to TiO2. Candidates with a photocatalyst, Light-Emitting Diode (LED) or kinetic modelling knowledge will be added advantage. *** A monthly allowance will be given to the potential PhD candidate. ***	Publicity date: 1/9/2022
