The School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) is seeking to hire a Research Fellow to support the research for the project titled: Collection of carbon dioxide on CO2-philic and phobic surfaces via cryogenic energy.

The scopes cover exploring the selected materials for designing the substrate surface for CO2 condensation, and surface treatment for the liquid wetting for the phase change process and heat exchanging process for the thermal management and decarbonization applications. The project covers material development, interfacial phenomena between gas and liquid, phase change of CO2, heat transfer effect, etc.

Key Responsibilities:

The Research Fellow will conduct the research on development of materials and heat exchanging processes for energy harvesting systems and CO2 collection on the substrate with the different wettability degrees. The roles of this position include:

  • Develop and maintain the system for CO2 condensation under the large pressure range.

  • Prepare the substrates for CO2 condensation and treating the surfaces with the different degrees with liquid CO2.

  • Upgrade the experimental visualization system to monitor the fluid dynamics and thermal performance.

  • Develop the thermofluid test rig from the cryogenic temperature to 200C.

  • Develop the model and simulation for CO2 collection.

Job Requirements:

  • PhD degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or the related fields.

  • 3-year research experience in heat transfer, energy, or cryogenic fluid related area.

  • Expertise in engineering design and experimental skill.

  • Knowledge in interfacial phenomena and gas-liquid phase chance.

  • Publication track record including journal paper publication is as one reference.

  • Proficiency in basics of engineering design, mechanical analysis and thermofluid software.

  • Proficiency in English and good communication capabilities for Research Project Purpose.

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
