PhD in Mechanical Engineering: Numerical Simulations of Porous Media Combustion Using Ammonia and Hydrogen Fuels IFP Energies nouvelles in France

PhD opportunity at the University of Caen Normandy, France in the ABTE laboratory, EcoTEA team, on foam-flow cleaning in milking systems . The project, called FOAMAT , focuses on improving cleaning performance while reducing water, energy, and detergent use. The research combines foam physical chemistry , fluid mechanics , process engineering , rheology , and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to understand how foam formulation, structure, and flow conditions affect the removal of dairy residues...

Postdoctoral position in High-Performance Computing for multi-physics simulations of solar receivers with fluidized beds at PROMES-CNRS Laboratory in France. The project is part of LBM4HPC: Lattice Boltzmann for Exascale and focuses on high-fidelity modeling of wall-to-bed heat transfer in high-temperature solar receivers for concentrated solar power (CSP) . Research topics include: (1) high-fidelity simulations using the waLBerla framework with DEM + LBM and radiative heat transfer; (2) multi-p...

PhD position at the University of Caen Normandy in Caen, France on experimental investigation and modelling of foam flow cleaning in milking systems (FOAMAT Project, with ACTALIA and Idele). The project is hosted by ABTE UR 4651, EcoTEA Team and focuses on research at the intersection of process engineering , fluid mechanics , physical chemistry , and CFD/modelling . The topic is especially relevant for students interested in experimental work, quantitative analysis, and applied flow/cleaning pr...

CIFRE PhD opening in Thermochemical Response of Sorptive Materials at IRCELYON (CNRS / Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1) with industrial host Savery in Lyon, France . The project focuses on the thermodynamics and kinetics of sorptive materials, including heat release, ageing/regeneration, and thermal signatures at the material, coating, and component scale in dynamic humid air with trace compounds. The work sits at the intersection of physical chemistry , adsorption , materials science , heat an...

This PhD project focuses on Food Oral Processing and the development of bioinspired robotic and sensor-based tools to better understand how food structure and acidity influence salivation, mastication, bolus formation, texture perception, and swallowing. The work is rooted in ongoing efforts to reproduce oral processing mechanisms realistically and holistically in vitro. The doctoral research begins with a detailed review of the scientific literature on salivation mechanisms, then moves to the d...
