A PhD position is open in the Large Scale Scientific Computing group at the International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC BarcelonaTech).
The position is funded by the project AMBBOS, Advanced computational Mathematics for Breeding Blanket Optimal deSign, a 3-year Spanish project focused on the development of numerical methods for the optimal design of breeding blankets (BB) in fusion reactors. BB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeding_blanket) devices are a key component of fusion reactors that provide radiation shielding from neutrons, heat extraction and tiritum regeneration (breeding). Testing BB designs is one of the goals of ITER (https://www.iter.org/proj/inafewlines) possibly the biggest energy projects in the world. Most BB concepts are based on a flow of molten led-lithium (Pb-Li) that circulates under a strong magnetic field used to confine the plasma.
Because experiments are difficult to perform, specially in real operating conditions, computational methods for BB design are urgently needed. These methods need to address a robust shape optimization problem that involves a magnetohydrodynamic flow, possibly with thermal instabilties. There are several computational challenges that will be address during the project, including solving large systems of equations for implicit time integration, using embedded methods for the description of the geometry, perform validation and verification of the models against available data (which may require machine learning methods) and wrapping the model in a robust optimization loop with the computation of shape sensitivites. The developed methods will be implemented in the Julia programming language, using the Gridap ecosystem as a basis (https://github.com/gridap) and will exploit high performance computing resources.
Candidates should hold a degree in mathematics, engineering, computer science, or physics and an excellent academic record. They also should have good writing and communication skills including a high English level.
Expertise in software development tools (debugging, git/github), linux/unix environments and functional or object-oriented programming as well as parallel programming will be an important asset. Knowledge of computational fluid dynamics (ideally related to magnetohydrodinamic flows), finite element modeling and/or optimization will also be positively considered.
Applications will be considered untill the position will be filled, so it is advised to send them as soon as possible. Please send your application (with academic record) and inquires to
