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.

Two PhD studentships are available from October 2011 to work on projects in the research group led by Dr Stuart Clarke. The projects will investigate the adsorption and mixing behaviour of molecules at the solid / solution interface using a number of novel techniques including X-ray and neutron scattering, and calorimetry. The project may make use of international facilities worldwide as well as in Cambridge.
Applicants should have, or be about to receive, at least the equivalent of a UK II.1 honours degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, physics or a related discipline. The studentship covers tuition fees plus a maintenance grant for UK and other EU nationals who are eligible for the Home/EU fees rate. Non-EU nationals may apply if they have funding in place to cover the fees differential for overseas students.
