We are seeking applications for a Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) who will also enroll as a PhD candidate for the project titled "Comprehensive Investigation of Ternary Fuel Blending: Characterizing Hydrogen-Ammonia-Methane Combustion at Elevated Pressures through Experimental and Numerical Approaches."

Project Abstract:

This research project addresses the challenge of sustainable power generation in Malaysia, aligning with the nation's goals of reducing carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 and achieving Net-Zero emissions by 2050. The focus is on understanding the combustion complexities of hydrogen, ammonia, and methane blends at high pressures, a crucial but understudied area for practical applications. The objectives are to characterize these fuel blends using both experimental and numerical approaches, with detailed analysis of ammonia-methane, hydrogen-methane, and ammonia-hydrogen-methane blends. Advanced optical and laser diagnostics, along with Large Eddy Simulation (LES) in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), will be utilized to gain a comprehensive understanding of combustion dynamics under high-pressure conditions.

Requirements:

• Master’s degree in Mechanical/Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline with a CGPA > 3.5.
• The successful applicant must enroll as a full-time Ph.D. student in Engineering at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Malaya.
• Prior knowledge or experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), combustion, laser diagnostics, and programming is advantageous.
• Experience in writing scientific journals and a passion for and proactivity in conducting research are preferred.
• Good communication and writing skills in English are required.

Funding Amount:

• This studentship is for 2.5 years and provides a stipend of RM 2500 per month, plus a 100% waiver of university tuition fees.

Others:

• The candidate should be willing to start in September/October 2024.
• Applications should be submitted through the RA Recruitment System to be shortlisted for assessments. Additionally, applicants must send their CV, Bachelor’s/Master’s certificates, and Bachelor’s/Master’s transcripts to meor@um.edu.my.
• The assessment process will be conducted in two stages; First Stage: You will be given a proposal writing task on a relevant topic for this project. You will have a 2-week period to complete this task. Second Stage: If you are shortlisted, you will be invited for an interview, which can be conducted either online or in person.
