Research Scientist in Multiphase Flow and Experimental Fluid Dynamics
4 weeks ago
Job Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled Research Associate to join our team at Heriot-Watt University, working on the EPSRC-funded project REVOC - Towards smart manufacturing: Responsive Gas-Solid Vortex Chambers. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of compact, robust, and modular technology to intensify gas-solid processes underpinning industrial decarbonization.
About the Project
REVOC aims to introduce a new paradigm for controlling the structure of gas-solid vortices, enabling the optimization of mixing in gas-solid reactors. This technology has the potential to transform a powerful technology platform emerging in Europe and the US into a high-efficiency, low-capital solution for gas-solid operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and test gas-solid vortex chambers
- Establish experimental facilities and liaise with industry partners
- Design and implement control systems for gas-solid vortex technology
- Conduct flow visualization experiments and collaborate with computational scientists
- Develop risk assessments and standard operating procedures
- Present research and plans at advisory boards and meetings
- Disseminate research through publications and presentations
About the Role
The appointed candidate will work alongside a computational PDRA, technicians, UGs students, and the project lead, Dr Victor Francia. They will gain a direct exposure to industry via our advisory board, comprising expert academics and senior R&D figures from the energy and FMCGs sectors.
Requirements
- Doctorate degree in mechanical/industrial/chemical engineering or a related field
- Strong expertise in experimental flow mechanics
- Ability to prototype and test flow devices
- Inter-personal skills and a problem-solving mindset
What We Offer
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on a cutting-edge project, develop their skills in experimental flow mechanics, and contribute to the development of innovative technology for the energy transition.
