1. Research Environment and Required Expertise
The Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London is a leading centre for research in the Earth Sciences, Petroleum Engineering, and Computer Simulation of Natural Processes. The development of numerical simulation software and algorithms is a key area of growth in this institute with more than 30 PhD students.
Applicants must be able to write and run numerical simulation software and be familiar with the finite element and the finite volume methods. Knowledge of ANSI/ISO C++ including the STL is essential. A masters degree (or equivalent) in applied mathematics, computational physics or science / engineering combined with experience in numerical modelling is desirable.
The successful PhD candidate will become the tenth member of the Computational Hydrogeodynamics research team engaged in a lively scientific discourse, including weekly group meetings. For the induction of new group members we have prepared, tested, and revised a suite of written materials explaining our workflows and the computational methods used by the group. The induction will include frequent project meetings during which the team will explore solutions to technical or methodical challenges. The advertised research project is multi-disciplinary by nature and its objectives will be achieved by a team effort. The primary role of the successful applicant will be the development and improvement of computational algorithms.
