Doctoral Student in Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics and AI
Join a cutting-edge project combining AI and fluid mechanics at KTH.
Best for:Best for candidates with a master's degree in engineering or physics and a passion for AI applications in fluid dynamics.
Overview
This doctoral position at KTH Royal Institute of Technology focuses on the intersection of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics and artificial intelligence. The project, part of the EU doctoral network FairCFD, aims to enhance rheological characterization and modeling through high-performance computing and experimental methods. The successful candidate will develop a digital twin rheometer to measure complex fluid parameters in dynamic flows. Applicants should possess a strong background in engineering, mathematics, or physics, particularly in fluid mechanics and computational methods.
What you'll do
- Develop a digital twin rheometer for measuring complex fluid parameters.
- Utilize AI techniques to analyze computational and experimental data.
- Conduct high-performance computing simulations related to non-Newtonian flows.
- Collaborate with the Complex Fluids Research Group and other researchers.
- Engage in training and administrative tasks as permitted.
