Computational Engineering
Computational Engineering focuses on addressing large scale or complex engineering problems through high performance software and by code coupling for a range of multi physics and multi scale applications to tackling challenging problems in combining different ways.
Working the the STFC facilties we have helped with the gas injection within plasma accelerators, and examined the failure mechanism of critical operational components. We are also exploring opportunities to use engineering modelling with imaging to understand materials properties related to fluid or gas flow in areas such as batteries or carbon capture.
Computational Engineering provides:
- Software development for HPC and exascale computing
- Plasma physics for next generation accelerator design
- Large scale engineering and thermal models
- Microfluidic modelling
- Rarefied gas dynamics
- Training courses for computational science
FAQs
What do we offer?
The Ada Lovelace Centre will fund 50% of the cost of a studentship (fees and stipend) with a partner University.
What is the Ada Lovelace Centre?
The Ada Lovelace Centre is a collaborative hub that helps UK science facilities use computing to solve complex research challenges. It brings together experts in data, software, and artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific progress.
Who can apply?
Any academic belonging to a UK university with the authorisation to supervise PhD students may apply as the university supervisor.
Who can work with the Ada Lovelace Centre?
Researchers, technical professionals, and organisations can engage with the Ada Lovelace Centre by proposing collaborative projects, joining challenge-led initiatives, or exploring shared computing solutions across STFC’s facilities.
