Full Time Postdoctoral Position: Automated Kinetic Model Generation and Numerical Simulations of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) Combustion, m/f/d

28.03., Wissenschaftliches Personal

Applicant’s project

To combat the harmful effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and subsequently formed soot particles on human health and the environment, many governments and institutions are introducing increasingly stringent regulations. To develop combustion control techniques that allow compliance with these regulations, it is essential to understand and accurately model the chemical kinetics of fuel decomposition and especially PAH formation. While most of the available literature focuses mainly on the quantitative chemical kinetic modeling of simple combustion systems, a detailed understanding of the complex PAH formation and growth mechanisms and their influence on soot production continues to be one of the central challenges in combustion research. The proposed project targets the generation and testing of new chemical kinetic mechanisms for PAH formation leading to soot production within the context of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SFAs). Methods used will be the Reaction Mechanism Generator (RMG), mainly developed at MIT, CANTERA, and an in-house FORTRAN code for reactive flows.

Applicants profile

You have a Ph.D. in the area of chemical or mechanical engineering or information technology with expertise in Python/programming, chemical kinetics, soot formation modeling, or combustion modeling and are interested in independently investigating scientific questions and working in an international team. Besides, you will have the opportunity to engage in co-supervising students and participate in teaching.

Our offer

The Technical University of Munich (TUM) is a renowned university in Europe. We are offering good working conditions and an international research environment. The salary is following the Public Sector Collective Agreement on Länder full-time (TV-L E13 / 40 hours per week). The position is initially limited to one year. 
TUM strives to raise the proportion of women in its workforce and explicitly encourages applications from qualified women. The position is suitable for disabled persons. Disabled applicants will be given preference in case of generally equivalent suitability, aptitude, and professional performance.
