Master’s and PhD Positions in the Intelligent Systems Laboratory at Pukyong National University, Korea

/ May 8, 2011 Leave a Comment

We will have two positions open (for Master and/or Ph.D students) in the Intelligent Systems Laboratory, Department of Chemical Engineering, at Pukyong National University available from September 1st, 2011. The students will be involved in one of my projects – (1) the development of novel chemometric methods based on Near-Infrared/Mid-Infrared spectroscopy regarding biofuel production and (2) Modeling of biofuel production processes,related economic analysis, and process optimization. The scopes of projects are as follows:
(1) Development of soft-sensor for estimation of biomass feedstock compositions Development of monitoring system for biofuel production
Development of statistical quality control methods for biofuel products
(2) Process modeling of biochemical conversion of biomass using process simulatorsTechno-economic analysis of biofuel production
Integration of biofuel production processes using numerical optimization
These projects are supported by Korean governments, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
The successful candidates for both positions will have a strong background in statistics/mathematics and computer programming (C++ and/or MATLAB). In addition,familiarity with commercial/academic software (Simca P, Aspen plus/HYSYS) would be advantage. They also will be fluent in English, have good writing and communication skills, and have reasonable laboratory experience. A master/Ph.D student will receive a monthly stipend plus tuition fee.
Interested applicants should submit a detailed CV, a brief statement of research interests and experience, relevant publications, and letters of recommendation.

2011-2012 Full-time Postgraduate Masters Scholarships at University of Glamorgan, UK: Disaster Healthcare / Disaster Management

/ May 8, 2011 Leave a Comment

scholarships are offered on the basis that they are potentially subject to change in the event of changes to the fee and student support regime applicable in Wales. UK and European Union graduates with a first or upper second class honours degree (or equivalent qualification) can apply for a non-means tested scholarship worth £1,500 or £2,000. The scholarship applies to most of our full-time, taught Masters courses at the University of Glamorgan starting in the autumn of 2011 plus a number of courses that are offered in the February 2012 intake. The deadline for students wishing to study MSc Disaster Healthcare / MSc Disaster Management for Environmental Hazards is Friday 12th August 2011. The deadline for all other applications for courses starting in autumn 2011 is Friday 16th September 2011. The deadline for applications for courses starting in February 2012 is Friday 27th January 2012. Please note that scholarships are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. If you have any queries regarding this scholarship, please contact the Student Money Service in Student Services.
To qualify for a scholarship an applicant (Home or EU) will need to fulfil all of the following criteria.
Successful applicants must:

  • Ensure that their application reaches the Student Money Service by the advertised deadline. Applicants and not the University (or its staff) are entirely responsible for meeting this element of the criteria.
  • Gain a first class honours degree or an upper second class honours degree or equivalent qualification (students with qualifications gained from outside the UK will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis)
  • Be offered a place on an eligible, taught Masters course, accept this offer and enrol on the course within the appropriate timeframe.

    • Scholarship Application Deadline: 12th August 2011.

    International PhD Scholarship in School of Computing, Engineering and Physical Sciences at UCL, UK

    / May 6, 2011 Leave a Comment

    Applications are invited for a full-time scholarship available in the School of Computing, Engineering and Physical Sciences. The scholarship is tenable for up to 3 years for a PhD (via MPhil route) [subject to satisfactory progress] and is open to international applicants only. UK/EU applicants are not eligible to apply. The scholarship will provide £15000 towards the cost of the International tuition fee over 3 years.   Manufacturing limitations and operational strains placed on wind turbine blades lead to fatigue and a shortened working life. The advent of flexible, aeroelastic blades (rather than rigid forms) will offer advantages in increasing fatigue life but challenges in geometrical, structural and aerodynamic characterisation. Wind tunnel trials do not scale up well to real life blades so that a fundamental understanding of the underlying physics is necessary if innovative large scale flexible blades are to be modelled successfully.
    Against this background, the main objectives are:
    1. The development of structural dynamic and FEA models for the complete wind turbine rotor or blades that can handle highly nonlinear effects e.g. from flexible blades with complex laminated composite and composite sandwich skins and webs;
    2.The development of advanced models on rotor and blade aerodynamics, covering full 3D CFD rotor models, free wake models and improved BEM type models;
    3. The advancement of computational mathematical models for the complex fluid-structure interaction problems that play a critical role in wind-turbine blade design, providing also a fundamental tool for a better understanding of the underlying physics;
    4. To calculate the torque and thrust on the wind turbine generator under different wind speed and rotor geometry and therefore to predict the material strength needed in different environment and minimize the damage to the rotor.
    5. To predict the rotor speed on varying wind speed, rotor geometry, and rotor load. And to simulate both transient state and steady state motion of the rotor, finally optimize the shape of the rotor blade and therefore maximize the power capacity.

    Scholarship Application Deadline: 13 May 2011
