Research Studentship
Electrical Impedance Tomography for Flow Engineering
School of Process, Environmental and Materials Engineering

Faculty of Engineering
School of Process, Environmental and Materials Engineering
Institute of Particle Science and Engineering

An exciting research opportunity is available for highly qualified graduates with Electrical Engineering, Mathematics or Chemical Engineering degrees for further studies leading to the award of a PhD degree. You will undertake work on an EPSRC funded project to design and implement electrical impedance tomography (EIT) software for experimentally validating a numerical model of unsteady two-phase flow containing intermittent Kelvin-Helmoltz wave structures. The project is part of a collaborative research programme involving Huddersfield,
Leeds and Nottingham Universities. Applicants with MSc or research experience on software engineering, experimental fluid mechanics and Electrodynamics are particularly welcome. The studentship for three years will provide full student fees and living expenses (subject to further arrangement). The studentship is opened to UK, European and overseas applicants.

The Institute of Particle Science and Engineering has a high international research profile and state-of-the-art laboratories and computing facilities. Researches at the institute are supported by the EPSRC and a large number of major industrial organisations, providing a dynamic and lively research environment, which attracts leading research scholars worldwide. Our research programmes include extensive training and professional development and provide opportunities for conference travel and visits to our collaborating institutions overseas. The Institute has a friendly atmosphere, which encourages collaborative work and interdisciplinary thinking. The Institute is a member of the School of Process, Environmental and Materials Engineering (SPEME).
