Ph.D. position in gas-lubricated bearings
Mission
The Laboratory for Applied Mechanical Design (Prof. Schiffmann) is looking for a PhD researcher whose mission is to create, model, investigate, and test novel gas-bearing designs to enhance their static and dynamic performance for high-speed turbomachinery applications in heat pumps, fuel cells, and waste heat recovery. The project is co-financed by an industrial partner.
Profile
Applicants should have completed or are in the process of completing their Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering or Computational Science. We are expecting a solid scientific background in (1) modeling approaches for dynamic systems, (2) excellent programming skills, (3) model order reduction techniques, (4) surrogate modeling, (5) multi-objective optimization, and (6) experimental methods. Good communication skills (written and oral) in English are a must; French is a plus.
