PhD Research Studentship
Interacting Turbulent Flames Using Dns And Laser Diagnostics
Department of Engineering
A Research Studentship position is available on an EPSRC funded research project in the study of interacting turbulent flames using DNS and laser diagnostics. This project involves collaboration with Rolls-Royce Plc. and Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd. in the UK. The main aim of the project is to develop close understanding of interacting turbulent premixed flames using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) methodology and laser diagnostics. The interacting flames are one of the fundamental root cause for “noisy” combustion, but this is still a terra incognita for modelling. The research student will be involved in the experimental part of the project but there will be constant interaction between the experimental and computational parts. The Ph.D student will work closely with one of investigators and will be using state of the art multi-scalar imaging and particle image velocimetry (PIV) facilities available in the Engineering Department.
The successful candidate will have a first class degree in Mechanical/Aerospace/Chemical engineering. Applications from overseas students will also be considered. Funding, covering all fees and maintenance will be available for the three years. The studentship will commence from 1st October 2008.
Further details on the project may be obtained from Dr E. Mastorakos or Dr N. Swaminathan. An application form may be downloaded from the Board of Graduate Studies (BGS) office. More information on the graduate studies at the Engineering Department is available http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/ If you submit your application on-line via BGS website, send a copy in PDF format to Mrs. Kate Graham so as to reach her not later than 10th May 2008.

The Vision & Robotics Research Group (VIROB) is the expertise centre -at the Faculty of Engineering, National University of Malaysia - for machine vision technology. VIROB possesses comprehensive knowledge in the area of system integration and technology development and has product- and process knowledge to implement innovations together with industries. In addition, it has good networking with universities, knowledge organizations and engineering companies within and outside Malaysia. VIROB therefore plays a pivoting role in the coordination of supply and demand of such knowledge and technology. Our research areas range from fundamental computer vision methodologies to machine vision applications.
PhD details
The candidate will be required to carry out international level research in image analysis, features extraction and classification. This will involve developing a novel and robust technique for automated vision recognition for data collection in precision farming technology. The candidate would be expected to have a higher honours degree in electrical or computer science discipline. Prior computer vision experience, programming in MATLAB & C would be advantageous.
