PhD students and postdocs - and new openings

Opening for a PhD position: 

I have an open PhD position with application deadline March 18, 2024. The ad can be found here (English): https://www.kth.se/lediga-jobb/697526?l=en

And here (Swedish):  https://www.kth.se/lediga-jobb/697526?l=sv

 

The research project will be focused on development of numerical methods primarily for applications within micro-fluidics (fluid dynamics at the micro scale). The algorithms will to a large extent be based on boundary integral equations, and the project will span over theory, algorithms, software and applications. A specific challenge that will be adressed in the project is how the numerical methods can be further developed for solution of non-elliptic partial differential equations in time dependent domains (e.g in the interior of a viscous deformable drop).

This work will build on previous work, specifically the two papers listed below are highly relevant. It is not expected that you can actually understand them to apply for the position - you will learn!
