Join us
We are always on the lookout for strong candidates for PhD projects and postdoctoral positions, whether in topics related to our core research themes or against a specific advertisement.

None at present. If you would like to work with us, please get in touch anyway — funding calls come round regularly and it helps to have talked beforehand.
Proposing your own project
If you would like to propose your own project, subject to suitable funding, in an area related to our research themes, do get in touch. Projects might relate to any of the following.
01
Mesh generation and adaptation
Generating the curved elements a high-order simulation needs, automatically and validly, for complex industrial geometries.
02
Numerical methods
The discretisations themselves: stability, where to put resolution, and how to couple parts of a simulation that do not line up.
03
Exascale and performance
Making high-order codes fast on the machines that exist — many-core CPUs, GPUs, and the exascale systems being built now.
04
Transition and turbulence
How smooth flows become chaotic, in ordinary fluids and in the plasma at the edge of a fusion reactor.
05
Fusion
Simulation methods and software for designing a fusion reactor that does not exist yet, with the UK Atomic Energy Authority.
06
Industrial aerodynamics
High-fidelity simulation on real engineering geometries — racing cars, aircraft wings, fans — where standard methods are not accurate enough.
