Nima Shokri

The Institute of Geo-Hydroinformatics at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) is offering a fully funded PhD position within the BlueMat Cluster of Excellence. The research focuses on 'Transport Processes in Nanoporous Hybrid Materials,' aiming to develop advanced multiscale modelling tools to understand and predict fluid transport in these materials. The project seeks to quantitatively link pore-scale information to continuum-scale behaviour, supporting the design of smart nanoporous materials for industrial and environmental applications. The successful candidate will join a collaborative, international research environment and work closely with Prof. Nima Shokri (Director, Chair and Professor at TUHH), Prof. Patrick Huber (TUHH), and Dr. Sahar Bakhshian (Rice University). The research combines Lattice Boltzmann simulations, machine learning, and continuum-scale modelling to bridge scales and deliver predictive insights. The BlueMat Academy offers top-tier training and networking opportunities for PhD students. Applicants should have a strong background in porous media flow, computational fluid dynamics, or machine learning, and ideally experience with multiscale modelling and Lattice Boltzmann simulations. A relevant master's degree in engineering, physics, or related fields is required. The position is fully funded, with a competitive stipend and access to training and networking, though specific financial details are not provided. To apply, candidates should use the official online application portal. All submissions will be reviewed after the application deadline, and there is no need to send separate emails. For more information, visit the provided links to the academic profiles and application portal.

A PhD position is available at the Hamburg University of Technology under the supervision of Prof. Nima Shokri, Prof. Patrick Huber, and Prof. Sahar Bakhshian. The research focuses on developing quantitative, multiscale modelling tools to predict how the properties of nanoporous hybrid materials—such as switchable wettability, permeability, and pore size distribution—affect multiphase fluid flow and transport processes. The project aims to bridge the gap between pore-scale mechanisms and continuum-scale responses, ultimately supporting the design of smart nanoporous materials for industrial and environmental applications. Key academic keywords include multiscale modelling, nanoporous materials, fluid flow, transport processes, wettability, permeability, and pore size distribution. The successful candidate will join a dynamic research environment at the Hamburg University of Technology, working closely with leading experts in the field. The position offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research with significant industrial and environmental impact. Applicants should have a strong background in quantitative modelling, materials science, physics, or a related field. Experience with multiscale modelling tools and an interest in nanoporous materials and fluid transport processes are desirable. Interested candidates should apply online using the provided application link and follow the instructions on the portal. Do not send documents directly to the supervisors.
