About the project
The aim of this project is to develop a technology enabling high-fidelity, high-resolution, robust 3D topology optimisation for multi-physics problems including thermofluid and fluid-structure interaction.
Topology optimisation is one of the most powerful engineering design technologies. It is superior to shape and size optimisation as it can theoretically create an optimum object from scratch. There is an ever-growing interest in using topology optimisation in industries for different design problems.
You will join a leading Engineering faculty with an excellent record of collaborative research with industry and academic institutions in the UK and abroad. The faculty offers exceptional research facilities in the areas of fluids, structures and their interactions. This includes a new world-class fluid dynamics facilities complex in the Boldrewood Engineering Campus and a 138m towing tank.
The School of Engineering received an Athena SWAN Bronze award in September 2013 in recognition of our continued commitment to improving equality for women in science and engineering. The university recognises that employees may wish to have working patterns that fit with their caring responsibilities or work-life balance. We give due consideration to applicants who have had career breaks for reasons including maternity, paternity or adoption leave, disability or illness.
