Key Responsibilities- Design gas-solid vortex chambers, test and characterise new prototypes.
- Establish experimental facilities liaising with technicians and external industry partners.
- Design, implement and test new control systems for gas-solid vortex technology.
- Design and carry out flow visualization experiments (PIV) in gas-solid flows.
- Collaborate with computational scientists to validate models and optimize designs.
- Develop risk assessments, COSHH forms and standard operating procedures.
- Present research, and plans, at advisory boards, internal and external meetings.
- Disseminate research via publication of scientific papers, and presentation in seminars and conferences.
- Participate in xFlow's group meetings, workshops, boards, and outreach program.
- Provide guidance to technicians, students, and others working under the REVOC team.
Essential Criteria
- Degree-level qualification in a relevant area of Engineering or Physics.
- Doctorate degree (PhD, EngD) in mechanical / industrial / chemical engineering or a related field.
- Strong expertise in experimental flow mechanics.
- Ability for prototyping, setting and testing flow devices.
- Inter-personal skills, a can-do attitude, and a problem-solving mindset.
Desirable Criteria
- Experience in flow visualization or particle image velocimetry.
- Experience in automation.
- Experience in turbomachinery.
Heriot-Watt University has a broad reputation for world-class teaching and leading-edge, relevant research, which has made it one of the top UK universities for innovation, business, and industry. This position is based within EPS,. EPS has a well-established international research reputation and close connection with the professional and industrial world of science, engineering, and technology.
The energy transition is a strategic research priority for Heriot-Watt, and the core of a newly created Global Research Institute focused in sustainable engineering,.
The applicant will join us to work on a EPSRC project funded at xFlow - Complex Flow Technologies, a research group led by by and. xFlow focuses on the development of advanced process technology for the energy transition, applying a combination of multiscale experimentation and computational techniques to design advance process unit operations, and digital modelling tools.
The appointed candidate will work alongside a computational PDRA, electrical and mechanical 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 across the UK and senior R&D figures from our US partner, PSRI and UK based multinational companies in the energy and FMCGs sectors.
