parallel computing
PhD Vacancy: UK Centre for Doctoral Training in Fusion Energy
I am currently looking to fill an open PhD position in a project titled:
Advanced Virtual Design of 3D Printed Fusion Reactor Components
This is to continue recent work that uses X-ray tomography, high performance computing and finite element analysis to design the plasma facing wall of the ITER reactor. Recent related publications can be found below:
A nonlinear manifold-based reduced order model
A new perspective on model reduction for nonlinear multi-scale analysis of heterogeneous materials. In this work, we seek meaningful low-dimensional structures hidden in high-dimensional multi-scale data.
PhD in Biomaterials for Aerospace Composites
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship at the University of Manchester to help develop the next generation of simulation tools. These will be used to evaluate the structural integrity of novel aerospace composites under a wide range of operational conditions. The student will join a €3-4M euro research project that has recently been funded to investigate the use of biomaterials in aerospace composites. The project involves a range of academic and industrial partners in Europe and China, providing many opportunities for overseas research visits.
PhD Positions in Advanced Virtual Prototyping at the University of Manchester
I am currently recruiting new PhD students to join my research group at The School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering at the University of Manchester. The core focus of the group is advanced computing for engineering simulation. My research interests centre on extreme scale parallel computing, cloud computing and virtual reality simulation platforms, applied to scientific and engineering problems involving complex processes.

Predictive Multiscale Materials Modelling
Workshop on Predictive Multiscale Materials Modelling was held at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge UK. Slides and videos of all presentations can be seen at the workshop website.
Cracks found at reactor at Hunterston B nuclear power station
Perhaps some of those on this site have seen the news article on the BBC website yesterday about cracks appearing in the reactor at the Hunterston B nuclear power station. As the article states, cracking in the graphite bricks is predicted and the regulators are happy that the reactor is safe to operate.
