The Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani - Goa Campus invites Expressions of Interest (EoI) for collaborative experimental research in advanced fluid mechanics. This initiative, coordinated by Professors Shibu Clement and Vaibhav Joshi, leverages the campus's state-of-the-art low-speed wind tunnel facility equipped with a Tomographic PIV (Tomo-PIV) system from Dantec Dynamics. The research focuses on high-fidelity, volumetric flow diagnostics for complex flow configurations, with applications in bluff-body aerodynamics, wake dynamics, flow control, and turbulence.

The opportunity is open to PhD scholars, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career researchers who are motivated to contribute to high-impact publications and engage in national or international collaborations. The research aligns with upcoming ANRF-sponsored PhD, postdoctoral, and project-based research initiatives, providing a platform for advanced studies in experimental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics.

Applicants should demonstrate a strong interest in experimental fluid mechanics and advanced optical diagnostics. While specific degree or skill requirements are not detailed, motivation and relevant research background are essential. The facility offers advanced experimental capabilities, including a low-speed wind tunnel and Tomo-PIV for 3D, time-resolved flow measurements.

Interested candidates should submit a brief EoI outlining their research interests and background to Professor Shibu Clement ([email protected]), with a copy to Professor Vaibhav Joshi ([email protected]), by 12 February 2026. This is an excellent opportunity for researchers interested in experimental fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, and related fields to collaborate and advance their careers at a leading Indian institution.
