PhD studentships available

Two fully-funded 3.5 year PhD studentships are available in the Computational Modelling Group, Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Prof. Markus Kraft. Both studentships start in October 2018 and, due to funding regulations, are only able to cover fees at the home/EU rate.

We are looking for outstanding students who are interested in working with us on any of the following areas:

• To develop state-of-the-art computational tools to model the formation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles.
• To perform laminar flame experiments to investigate the factors controlling the morphology of titanium dioxide nanoparticles.
• To design and implement advanced algorithms, based on statistical and/or machine learning/artificial intelligence techniques, and apply them to a range of practical problems - as part of our software tools that perform a variety of tasks such as optimisation, data-driven modelling, uncertainty analysis, parameter estimation, surrogate generation, and experimental design for computationally expensive models.
