The Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERIAN) invites applications for the position of Research Fellow.

As a part of the LCER project on Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC), NTU together with Chiyoda Corporation are seeking for a top researcher with good experience on CFD simulation and 3D Cad drawings.

The project aims to develop a cutting-edge technology for next generation LOHC plants which will contribute significantly to decarbonize the energy sector and help Singapore to be at the forefront of technology development.

Key Responsibilities:

• Actively participate in research and development in selected areas across thermal energy systems, for instance in areas that can include Fluid Dynamics, Heat/Mass Transfer and numerical simulation.
• Carry out numerical simulation of thermo-mechanical processes in heat recover and thermal storage
• Carry out numerical simulation of coupled fluid and heat flow (multiphysics) in complicated geometries
• Develop turbulent flow models for particular applications and use HPC for computer expensive studies
• Support writing project progress reports, prepare presentations in official and internal technical meetings, preparation of seminars and workshops
• Candidate will also be responsible for summarizing and reporting the CFD Modelling results, and make recommendations to other researchers in the group and project management
• Collaborate in publication of research papers

Job Requirements:

• PhD degree in Mechanics/Mechanical or Materials Engineering
