About the Project
The analysis and design of complex systems requires not only the ability to understand the functionality of the system as a whole but also the ability to design and optimize components and subsystems that gives rise to the emergent properties. Modelling of systems underpins the ability to carry out analysis and design, and in the case of complex systems, the challenge is to develop multiscale models at the whole system, subsystems and components levels. The same parallel applies when the system under consideration is a natural system, such as agricultural plant production system, living system, such as human musculo-skeletal system, or an engineered system, such as the aircraft gas turbine engine.
The aims of this project is to develop multiscale modelling techniques based on the concepts of model reduction, spatiotemporal modeling and model integration. It will build on the group’s current activities in a number of applications within multi-disciplinary research teams involving the University Institutes and Centres such as the Grantham Centre for Sustainability, INSIGNEO and the RR-UTC.
Funding Notes
We require applicants to have either an undergraduate honours degree (1st) or MSc (Merit or Distinction) in a relevant science or engineering subject from a reputable institution.
Prospective candidates for this project should have excellent mathematical, analytical and computational skills. Familiarity with system dynamics, modelling and identification and systems engineering is desirable.
