PhD studentship available at Kingston University London

A PhD studentship is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kingston University London.

The work will be dedicated to the discrete element modeling of pellets' compaction in orodispersible tablets.

The project is in close collaboration with the Kingston University's Department of Pharmacy and also the University of Strathclyde. The student will have access to the high-performance computing facilities and also to the relevant facilities to obtain experimental data for validation of the developed numerical models.

Applicants should have (or expect to obtain) a first or second class UK honours degree (or equivalent) in relevant subject areas (e.g. Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Math or Physics). A strong background in programming skills in Fortran/C/C++ (or willingness to learn) is required. A Master's level qualification on numerical modeling or high-performance computing is desirable but not essential.

Deadline for applications: midnight Sunday 19 May 2019

Expected start date for the studentship: Late September 2019
