From: Jin Sun
Position type: PDRA
Subject: Post-doc position at University of Glasgow
Topic: Modelling flow dynamics of granular material
Details: The vision for this project is to make step changes in our predictability of dense granular flows in complex geometries and/or loading conditions, and ultimately leading to rational design of granular materials with novel or desired properties through an interdisciplinary approach leveraging recent advances made in multiscale mechanics and machine learning.

Topic: Predicting dense granular flow dynamics in complex environments
Details: Solid particles dispersed in a liquid phase at high concentrations (dense) are encountered ubiquitously in industry, found in products ranging from cement and ceramic pastes to slurries for battery and solar panel manufacturing and foods; and in nature, such as mud flows, submarine landslides. The reliable and efficient processing and manufacture of these diverse products presents ‘grand challenges’ to technological innovation because at high solids volume fraction process flow and product behaviour become increasingly unstable and unpredictable. Understanding the rheology and predicting the flow dynamics of such materials also represent grand challenges in fundamental sciences and cutting-edge engineering. The aim for this project is to make step changes in our predictability of dense granular flows in complex geometries and/or loading conditions, and ultimately leading to rational design of novel granular materials through an interdisciplinary approach leveraging recent advances made in multiscale mechanics and machine learning.

Subject: Post-doc position at University of Leeds
Topic: Developing continuum models of polycrystalline materials
Details: The project’s aim is to develop and explore new mathematical models describing the flow and evolution of polycrystalline materials. Such materials are ubiquitous, forming the majority of the rocks and minerals of the Solid Earth, as well as ice, a material fundamental to our natural environment. The role will require formulating a new general modelling framework and solution methods by coupling partial differential equations describing the evolution of the material’s crystal microstructure to those describing its macroscopic viscous flow. https://jobs.leeds.ac.uk/EPSMA1100

Position type: PhD
Subject: PhD studentship at University of Liverpool (UK students only)
Topic: Microstructure-flow interplay in 3D printing: linking structure, rheology and printability of bespoke and commercial formulations
Details: A PhD studentship is open as part of a 4 year £1.6M UKRI Future Research Leaders Fellowship - Smart formulations for manufacturing of functional three-dimensional hierarchical structures, which Dr García-Tuñón holds. The successful candidate will join the team working at the interface between materials, chemistry, and engineering.
