• Publish scientific papers, write patent applications and attend conferences

Qualifications:

• PhD in Fluid mechanics, Mechanical or Chemical Engineering, or a related field
• Expertise in first-principle modelling approaches to Multiphase Flow Dynamics (Gas, Liquid, and Solid Flow physics)
• Multi-physics CFD modelling of multiphase flows (Ansys, OpenFoam, COMSOL)
• Building and validating reduced-order models from high-fidelity simulations is highly desirable
• Experience in modelling of mechanical systems, fatigue analysis
• Understanding of Production Systems is desirable
• Relevant publications in reputable peer-reviewed journals are desirable
