"Research Fellow (Cracking Mechanism Development)"

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.
