Your role will lead the development of the new technology by conducting computational fluid dynamics modelling and simulation, data profiling, integration and pilot-scale experimentation.
Throughout the project, you will be fully supported by academic supervisors Dr Jeff Gomes and Dr Lateef Akanji, from the University of Aberdeen's School of Engineering.
A key aspect of your role will be to consolidate the knowledge and technical skills necessary to develop and validate the new model and transfer this knowledge and expertise to the company. Hence, you will be working closely with the engineering teams at the host company, qualifying the market opportunity and balancing the commercial and quality requirements of the company with the computational and experimental challenges of the project.
This is a technically challenging commercial project. The post-holder will be expected to carry out administrative tasks related directly to the timely delivery of the project and knowledge transfer. Effective communication with colleagues, as well as building rapport with existing and potential stakeholders is critical to the success of this project.
