Job description

The department of Mathematics is offering a two-year postdoc position. The research project will be focused on the development of computational methods that can be used to effectively simulate the dynamics of many bubbles in two-phase flow simulations. An example is the simulation of microbubbles. Microbubbles can for example be used to transport drugs to the desired location in the body. We will develop a surrogate model that can be used to effectively scale up simulations with a few drops to many thousands of drops. The project span theory, method development, implementation, and simulation.
