The Department of Chemical Engineering, University College London (UCL) offers PhD studentship in Multiphase Flows. Applicant applying for the studentship will have or be expected to obtain a degree in Chemical Engineering, or equivalent. The candidate is expected to have experience in Chemical Engineering, Effective written and verbal communication skills, time-management skills and ability to work in a team are also important. The post is open only to UK/EU citizens due to funding restrictions.

Study Subject(s): Studentship is provided in multiphase flows.
Course Level: This studentship is available for pursuing PhD degree level at University College London, UK.
Scholarship Provider: University College London, UK
Scholarship can be taken at: UK

Eligibility: The candidate will have or be expected to obtain an excellent first degree in Chemical Engineering, or equivalent. Ability to analyze and solve open-ended engineering problems and develop simulation methodologies is essential. Knowledge in laser-based measurement techniques, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), C programming languages and Matlab, as well as expertise in chemical reaction engineering is desirable. The candidate is expected to have experience in Chemical Engineering. Effective written and verbal communication skills, time-management skills and ability to work in a team are also important. The post is only open to UK/EU citizens due to funding restrictions.

Scholarship Open for International Students: The UK/EU students can apply for the scholarship.

Scholarship Description: The Department of Chemical Engineering, University College London (UCL) is seeking a Graduate Student for the experimental and numerical investigation of multiphase flows in micro- and milli-fluidic reactors. The aim of the research project is to understand interfacial transport processes and the scale-up of the involved transport coefficients in more detail, and thus to contribute to the efforts in process intensification and the translation from batch to continuous flow processes on the micro- and milli-scale. The experimental characterization is accomplished by identifying the physical mechanisms of heat and mass transfer on the micro- and milli-scale using non-invasive, laser-optical measurement techniques (particle image velocimetry (PIV), laser-induced fluorescence (LIF)). In a second step, these experimental results will be used to validate and develop predictive multiphase flow models for computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Therefore the open-source code Open FOAM will serve as a platform to develop a volume-of-fluids (VOF) based two-phase flow solver, which captures interfacial heat and mass transfer as well as chemical reactions. The obtained results will bridge the gap between the micro- and milli-scale, and will directly impact the efforts in process intensification and sustainable advanced manufacturing.

Number of awards: Not Known

Duration of awards: Studentship is offered for 3 years.

What does it cover? £16,590 per annum + UK/EU fees is offered as a stipend.

University of Strasbourg is offering 3-years PhD position for an excellent student in the field of computer graphics and geometric modeling at ICube Lab. The net salary will be about 1500 euros per month. Applicants applying for the position should have master’s degree in computer science and basic skills in computer graphics and geometric modeling.  Application deadline is June 15, 2013.

Study Subject(s): The position is offered in the field of computer graphics and geometric modeling ( reconstruction and visualization of digitized 3D objects from scans and photographs).
Course Level: This position is available for pursuing PhD programme at the University of Strasbourg (France), ICube Lab, France.
Scholarship Provider: University of Strasbourg, France
Scholarship can be taken at:  France

Eligibility:- Master degree in Computer Science

- Basic skills in Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling

- Good programming and communication skills

- Good level of English is mandatory.

Scholarship Open for International Students: The French students can apply for the scholarship.

Scholarship Description: Current 3D acquisition technologies can deliver highly accurate data on the shape of real-world objects. Despite the recent advances in the field of geometry processing and 3D reconstruction, producing complete and defect-free multi-scale geometric models of objects that are as complex as pieces of artwork or buildings still cannot be achieved in a full automatic way, which hampers massive scanning campaigns. Standard 3d reconstruction techniques often require a large amount of user interaction to adjust parameters or to perform corrections, which essentially rely on some visual criteria. The recent advances of 2D/3D registration techniques open up new lines of research to bring solutions to the problem of automatically reconstructing complete and multi-scale accurate 3D models with few constraints on the acquisition process. The goal of this thesis is to develop a technique that takes benefit from the information obtained from a set of photographs to evaluate and improve the reconstruction of 3D models from 3D scans. This technique will be based on a novel metric that allows to compare a calibrated set of photographs to a set of 3D scans. This technique will be studied in conjunction with a representation making it possible to visualize complex reconstructed models in real-time. The implementation will be achieved in C++ and it will be incorporated into the digitization software of the IGG group.

Number of Awards: Not known

Duration of Awards: Position is offered for the period of 3 years.

What does it cover? The net salary will be about 1500 euros per month.

How to apply: Application process:
