Is the Hosting related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No
The prospective fellows may carry out one of the following projects or something similar:
* Active flow control of blended-wing body using DBD plasma actuators.
* Mechanisms and control of subcritical boundary-layer transition.
* Aerodynamics of forward-swept wings with leading-edge undulations.
* Real-time changes in aerodynamic forces on aircraft wings during icing.
Host: Professor Choi (Profile) is the Professor of Fluid Mechanics in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham, UK. He specializes in experimental research in turbulent boundary layers, drag reduction, and flow control. His research includes passive drag reduction devices, such as riblets and compliant coatings, as well as active devices including spanwise wall oscillations, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), and electro-magnetic flow control (EMFC). He has developed innovative plasma actuators and studied the effects of leading-edge undulations and aircraft icing on aerodynamic performance.
Flow Control Laboratory: The laboratory consists of two boundary-layer wind tunnels, two low-speed aerodynamic wind tunnels, and an icing wind tunnel, equipped with advanced measurement and visualization systems.
The University of Nottingham: A research-led university in the UK, recognized globally for ground-breaking research and ranked among the top institutions for zero carbon-oriented research.
Application: Interested candidates must apply by emailing kwing-so.choi@nottingham.ac.uk with their CV and a research proposal. Support is available for developing MSCA proposals.
