Offer Description
The Paul Scherrer Institute PSI is the largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland. We perform cutting-edge research in the fields of future technologies, energy and climate, health innovation and fundamentals of nature. By performing fundamental and applied research, we work on sustainable solutions for major challenges facing society, science and economy. PSI is committed to the training of future generations. Therefore, about one quarter of our staff are post-docs, post-graduates or apprentices. Altogether, PSI employs 2200 people.
For the Laboratory for Waste Management - Transport Mechanics group and within the scope of a research project funded by SwissNuclear we are looking for a
Postdoctoral Fellow for machine learning enhanced multiscale reactive fluid dynamics
Your tasks
- Conduct research in the area of cross-scale modelling of reactive multiphase flow (boiling) in complex heterogeneous materials, including conjugate heat transfer and surface reactivity (dissolution / precipitation) with application to nuclear reactor flows and CRUD formation
- Use machine learning techniques to accelerate the numerical solvers and numerical analysis, the existing framework of the in-house scientific multiscale codes and machine learning tools will be the basis for further developments
- 2D/3D multiphase numerical simulations using the CPU and GPU capabilities of the in-house lattice-Boltzmann codes, as well as commerical software
- Co-development of codes, including benchmarking and validation
- Publication of results in journals and conferences
