PhD students and postdocs - and new openings
Opening for a postdoc position:
I have an open postdoc position (two year position) with application deadline May 25, 2026.

The research project will be focused on development of numerical methods primarily for applications within micro-fluidics (fluid dynamics at the micro scale). It concerns the continued development and extension of a numerical method based on an integral equation formulation for the simulation of viscous drops in microfluidic flows. Surfactants that are soluble in the bulk fluid(s) play a key role in the drop dynamics. The project will extend the method in the commonly encountered, yet challenging, low-diffusion regime. A formulation involving a time convolution integral will be explored, together with a computational acceleration using a fast multipole type method. Depending on the candidate’s interests and background, the project may also include components of machine learning. The project spans theory, algorithms, software, and applications.
In this project, we will build on and extend earlier work on 3D drops:

-- C. Sorgenone, A-K Tornberg and P. M. Vlahovska. A 3D boundary integral method for the electrohydrodynamics of surfactant-covered drops. J. Comput. Phys., 389:111-127, 2019. Also available on Arxiv.org.
