Do you have a strong track record on using or developing Riemann problem-based methods? Are you experienced in object-oriented programming? Can you teach? The Senior Teaching Associate post in Computational Continuum Modelling at the University of Cambridge may be for you. You will be joining a very strong team teaching the modules of the MPhil […]
Seminar at Aerospce Plasma Group MIT
A team from LabSC visited Carmen Guerra Garcia at her Aerospace Plasma Group (MIT AeroAstro Department) and presented ‘A Next Generation Computational Multiphysics Approach for Fusion Reactor Simulations’. The Photo shows Carmen with LabSC team, Nikos Nikiforakis and PhD students (Maria Chrysanthou and Alexis Farmakalides), posing in AeroAstro’s new Wright Brothers Wind Tunnel https://lnkd.in/eFZmf3UD
Paper published on numerical modelling of ablation of geological materials
The model emphasises the feasibility of using Millimetre wave for drilling. Compared to traditional mechanical drilling, Millimetre wave has the advantage of unlocking deeper and hotter resources such as a geothermal reservoir.This is open access and can be read from the permalink: doi.org/10.1016/j.compgeo.2023.105571 Great work by Albert Zhang and thanks to Quaise Energy
20 years of collaboration with Boeing celebrated
“We were focused on them delivering their mission, but also on their side … they were mindful to help us achieve our science goals. It’s this two-way thing that made it a beautiful partnership.” Nikos Nikoforakis in ‘Mutual admiration society’ helps U Cambridge-Boeing partnership flourish’, University-Industry Engagement Advisor July 2023 The 20-year collaboration between the […]
