Research Fellow in Aerospace Engineering
Join to apply for the Research Fellow in Aerospace Engineering role at University of Southampton Malaysia
We are seeking a talented and motivated Research Fellow to join a multidisciplinary team developing innovative air sterilisation technologies for infection control in future hospital environments. The project adapts space technologies originally designed for propulsion and in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) to healthcare applications.
You will work under the supervision of Prof. Minkwan Kim and Prof. Bharathram Ganapathisubramani, collaborating with the European Space Agency (ESA) and NHS Hampshire Hospitals. More information about the project is available at https://project-pasta.com.
Key Responsibilities
* Optimising the aerodynamic performance of the PASTA reactor for airflow efficiency, sterilisation effectiveness, and noise reduction.
* Developing CFD models and validating results through experiments.
* Simulating indoor airflow and mapping fan performance to sterilisation coverage.
Qualifications
You should hold a PhD (or equivalent experience) in Aerodynamics, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering. Experimental experience is essential; CFD or indoor airflow modelling expertise is desirable. Excellent communication and writing skills are required.
Benefits and Commitment
Equality, diversity and inclusion is central to the ethos in the School of Engineering. The University has an Athena SWAN bronze award and offers flexible working, maternity policy, and onsite childcare. The University is committed to sustainability and has been awarded a Platinum EcoAward.
