Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow to develop a compact, accurate chemical kinetic mechanism that captures the cracking behaviour of Jet-A1 under sub- and supercritical conditions. Major duties and responsibilities include:

•             Molecular dynamics simulation of the cracking pathways of Jet-A1 under supercritical conditions.

•             Development of cracking mechanisms of Jet-A1

•             Supercritical thermophysical property characterization

•             Mechanism reduction for CFD simulation

•             Chemistry validation in working conditions of detonation engine situation

For further inquiries, please contact A/Prof Yang Wenming (mpeywm@nus.edu.sg).

Qualifications

The candidate must:

•             PhD in Engineering or a related field.

•             Strong stills and publications in chemical kinetic mechanisms development and CFD simulations.

•             Excellent experience in molecular dynamics simulations, quantum chemical calculations.

•             Demonstrated capability in equation-of-state analysis, transport property evaluation, or thermodynamics analysis.

•             Excellent track record of publications in prestigious journals.

•             Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary research environment.
