Supervisory Team: Dr Hossein Zare-Behtash, Dr John Lawson

Project description:

Conducting fluid flow measurements is crucial for engineering applications, providing essential insights into the behaviour of fluids under various conditions. Accurate fluid flow data is vital for designing efficient and safe systems, such as optimising the aerodynamics of aircraft, enhancing the performance of turbines, and improving the cooling systems in electronics. These measurements enable precise control and innovation, leading to advancements that enhance performance, safety, and efficacy across diverse applications.

This PhD project aims to develop novel molecular sensors capable of measuring fluid dynamic properties with unprecedented accuracy and resolution. These advanced sensors will be designed to detect and quantify key parameters such as pressure, temperature, and velocity. The project will involve a combination of experimental work, sensor design, and computational modelling to achieve its objectives.

Candidate Characteristics:

  • Strong background in fluid dynamics, sensor technology, and computational modelling.
  • Interest in experimental techniques and data analysis.
  • Highly motivated and able to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Strong communication and technical writing skills.

What We Offer:

  • Access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and equipment.
  • Opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration with leading researchers.
  • Comprehensive training in advanced experimental and computational techniques.
  • Supportive research environment with experienced supervisors.
  • Opportunities to present research at international conferences and publish in high-impact journals.

Join us in pioneering the development of cutting-edge molecular sensors and contributing to significant advancements in engineering.
