The Swinburne
University of Technology is inviting applications for Ph.D. position in
modeling and simulation of membrane-based gas separation processes. In
recent years, membrane-based separation systems have been employed for a number
of gas separation tasks. A membrane plant offers several advantages because of
its modular structure, low energy consumption, and eas
e of operation. There are
still many areas of uncertainty that need to be resolved before the commercial
application can proceed. The performance of membrane separators is dependent on
membrane configuration, membrane materials, and operating conditions requiring
expensive experiments to determine the effective operation regimens of such
separators.
Mathematical
modeling and simulation of membrane-based gas separation
processes are thus critical for providing original and innovative
solutions as well as to reduce the experimental costs. The main objective
of this Ph.D. project is to develop mathematical models that would be suitable
for application to a wide range of problems relevant to membrane-based gas separation
processes. Interested candidates will be required to use computer packages such
as MATLAB and COMSOL or any other suitable engineering software.
The Ph.D. activities
will be conducted in Swinburne Sarawak Campus but the program will be
administered in Swinburne Melbourne since the candidate will be enrolled in
Swinburne Melbourne. The Ph.D. degree will also be awarded by Swinburne
Melbourne.
