Jobs in UK 2009: PhD studentship in Process Modelling and Optimisation
PhD studentship in Process Modelling and Optimisation, UCL, London, UK
Applications are invited for a three and a half year PhD studentship in the Chemical Engineering Department at University College London (UCL).
This PhD project will form part of a large multi-institutional project which aims to develop methodologies for the rapid synthesis and screening of novel materials and solvents for carbon capture from power stations. The research of the project will focus on absorption, adsorption and membrane processes combining molecular modelling and advanced process modelling in order to develop reliable predictions of process performance.
The focus of this PhD project will be the optimisation of absorption processes and their integration in power plants. We will be developing an integrated model of the steam cycle and the capture process which will allow us to simultaneously optimise the size of the process units, their operating conditions, and the composition of the solvent mixture. This will give much greater scope for integration of energy
than is possible when considering the two models separately, and will result in a better assessment of options. Different objectives will be considered, including capital costs, O&M costs, efficiency and
flexibility.
Applicants should have, or expect to gain, a 1st class MEng or MSci degree, or its equivalent, with a strong mathematical and/or computational background. The application procedure, including links for further information and application forms, can be found at:

The studentship will be available from 1 October 2009 and will cover maintenance plus tuition fees at home rates for three and a half years.
