This position will be part of a multi-disciplinary team, which supports the development and scale-up of chemical processes in developing high fidelity process models and simulations with multi-physics, chemistry and scale effects. The models and simulations will be supporting the development, design, optimization, qualification of both catalytic / noncatalytic chemical processes from laboratory bench scale to pilot scale.
The scope of work includes:
-
Development, customisation and validation of process model and simulation of multi-phase chemical processes in advanced reactor technologies such as a Fluidised bed reactor (FBR)
-
Develop and/or adopt numerical methods for high-fidelity Multiphysics (including chemical effects) and multi-phase fluid flow simulation and models
-
Support lab experimentation and process optimisation using highfidelity multi-physics model
-
Collaborate with affiliated research institutes, institute of higher learnings, industry companies, and other relevant stakeholders
Job Requirements
-
PhD or Master's Degree in Chemical, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics or a related field.
-
3-5 years (PhD) or more than 5 years (Masters)
-
Experience in developing, customising and validating high fidelity process models and simulations for catalytic chemical processes in different reactor technologies such as Fluidised Bed Reactor (FBR) etc.
-
Experience with commercial computational fluid dynamic (CFD) platforms such as COMSOL Multiphysics, ANSYS Fluent or open-source platform such as OpenFOAM.
-
Experience in other simulation tools eg. gPROMs, Aspen Plus, AVEVA, Pro II
-
Excellent working knowledge of multi-physics and chemical engineering principles, including: hydrodynamics, thermodynamics, heat and mass transport, reaction kinetics, and reactor design.
-
Motivated self-starter with the ability to work independently and to participate creatively in multidisciplinary team consisting of scientists and engineers
-
Good analytical and problem-solving skills and quick to adapt to changes
-
Resourceful, proactive, self-driven with a high degree of professional integrity and Strong communication and excellent writing skills
