募集の背景、プロジェクトの説明
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to contribute to pioneering work in sustainable fuel combustion modeling. The focus will be on developing compact, predictive kinetic models for real-world sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), including novel fuel blends such as ammonia–hydrocarbon mixtures. Candidates will work on the enhancement of the innovative kinetic modeling methodology through AI/ML integration, supporting the accurate modeling of combustion properties and pollutant formation for a wide range of fuels. Key areas of research include:
● Development of machine learning-assisted kinetic modeling frameworks for complex fuel mixtures.
● Investigation of pollutant formation mechanisms (e.g., PAHs, NOx, SOx) and mitigation strategies in sustainable combustion.
● Simulation and validation of ignition, flame propagation, and pollutant emissions using experimental data and computational fluid dynamics tools.
● Extension of the modeling approach to include low-temperature oxidation and ammonia co-firing for internal combustion engines. -
仕事内容・職務内容
This position is part of a larger initiative aimed at advancing clean combustion technologies and supporting decarbonization efforts in sectors such as aviation and heavy transport.
