Openings

Research positions

Ph.D./Master/Bachelor positions are open for interested postgraduate/undergraduate students to work in the following experimental/numerical research areas:

• 1. Experimental fluid-structure interaction:

     • Performing FSI experiments in an in-house developed water channel for renewable energy generation from fluid flow, fundamental FSI research, etc.

     • Enhancement of the in-house Particle-image-velocimetry software for error reduction in flow measurements. Possible use of AI/ML for improved resolution of measurement.

  2. Numerical fluid-structure interaction:

     • Contribution to the development of a spectral-element-based FSI solver.

     • Contribution to the development of an immersed boundary FSI solver that uses an adaptive Cartesian grid.

     • Numerical investigation of renewable energy generation from flow-induced vibration.

     • Numerical investigation of vertical-axis hydrokinetic turbines.

Self-motivated students with their own research ideas (not listed above) are also encouraged to apply for the position.
