Job description

____________ _________ _________ __

The PhD positions focus on multi-phase transport of heat and mass in
complex media. This involves the dynamics of large ensembles of small
droplets in a gas flow through a domain with complex shape. The droplets
undergo phase transition, i.e., evaporation and condensation, and
chemical transformations. In addition, the droplets mutually collide,
leading to break-up or coalescence. The individual projects share a
mathematical- physical multiscale modeling strategy, which is at the
heart of research at the MMS group. Separate projects are:

* PhD1: Multiscale heat and mass transport in porous plugs
* PhD2: Aerosol dynamics in complex domains
* PhD3: Control of aerosol migration with temperature gradients

These projects will be conducted in a collaboration with international
industrial partners.

Organization

____________ _________ _________ __

University of Twente
Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS)
Sharing knowledge, working together, research, innovation. It is all
part of the only campus university in the Netherlands: the University of
Twente (UT). A university with an international character. We have for
example many foreign doctoral students, and master programmes are
provided in English. Divided over 5 faculties, we provide more than 50
Bachelor and Master programmes, varying from Applied Physics and Public
Administration to Applied Communication Science and Biomedical
Technology. In beautiful green surroundings, more than 8000 students and
2700 staff live, work and recreate at the UT. It is also a place where
talented people get every opportunity to perform cutting edge research.
But as an entrepreneurial university this is not all we do. In
'Kennispark' , for example, we work together with the business community,
we support our students in setting up their own businesses and
participate in many projects in the area of knowledge development. In
brief, a dynamic climate in which to work and study.

The Computer Science department of the Faculty of Electrical
Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) is one of the
largest academic institutions in computer science in the Netherlands,
with 220 faculty members and 1200 students. It provides courses in
Technical Computer Science, Business Information Technology, and
Telematics. In addition, the department contributes to computer science
education within other academic programmes. The research of the
department is part of the multidisciplinary research institute Centre
for Telematics and Information Technology (CTIT).

The chair MMS is part of the Applied Analysis and Computational Sciences
(AACS) cluster at the Department of Applied Mathematics of EEMCS, the
Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Sciences.
The research at MMS is embedded in the mechanics institute IMPACT at UT,
in the J.M. Burgers Center for Fluid Mechanics in the Netherlands and in
the recently established Dutch Center of Excellence 'Fluids and Solids'.
In the MMS group pioneering research is conducted in mathematics,
physics and computational science. This is applied to fluid mechanics
problems in nature and technology both at very large and very small
scales. Emphasis is on problems related to energy, environment and
health
