About the Role
The overall objective of the project is to develop a reduced-order surrogate model for predicting the ammonia direct injection spray characteristics using hybrid machine learning approach. This project is in collaboration with Kyushu University, Japan under the supervision of Dr Amin Paykani at Queen Mary University of London to realise the objectives of the Royal Society International Science Partnership Funded project “Data-Driven Surrogate Modelling for Liquid Ammonia Direct Injection Spray Characteristics”.
About You
The successful applicant will have, or soon obtain, a PhD degree in mechanical/aerospace engineering, applied mathematics, chemical engineering, or a related field. We are looking for candidates with a strong background in modeling and simulation of three-dimensional multiphase turbulent reacting flows and development and application of machine learning tools in chemical kinetics and turbulent combustion.
About the School/Department/Institute/Project
This post is within the School of Engineering and Materials Science, a large School with 70-80 academics and a similar number of postdoctoral research staff. There are around 1000 undergraduate and taught postgraduate students and 220 PhD students. These are supported by an administrative and technical staff team of 45. The staff and student body are international in make-up.
The School is part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, which comprises of five schools and two institutes. The Faculty’s student population has grown, both within the UK and overseas, in recent years and its research profile has strengthened considerably. The Faculty is focused on establishing itself as one of the leading Faculties for Science and Engineering in the UK. This position will be based in the Centre for Intelligent Transport (CIT) which combines complementary strengths in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, Power Systems, Robotics and AI, Digital Design and Manufacturing, and Advanced Materials to drive future transport and mobility technologies that better our world.
About Queen Mary At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable. Throughout our history, we’ve fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence. And we continue to live and breathe this spirit today, not because it’s simply ‘the right thing to do’ but for what it helps us achieve and the intellectual brilliance it delivers.
