Kongens Lyngby

A 3-year Ph.D. scholarship in advanced modeling of filtration of water produced from a petroleum reservoir is available at the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering DTU. The project will be carried out in CERE – Center of Energy resources Engineering, in collaboration with DOTC – DTU Offshore Technology Center. The principal supervisor will be Associate Professor Alexander Shapiro (CERE), with co-supervision of Simon Ivar Andersen (DOTC).

Responsibilities and qualifications
The project will focus on building of the modelling of the interaction of the porous filters with the particles and oil droplets contained in the filtered produced water. A model will be based on the analysis of such interactions on the level of a single pore, followed by the stochastic averaging by distributed ensembles of particles, droplets, and pores. Correspondingly, the project will contain the studies to colloid and surface chemistry, as well as stochastic and numerical modelling. Analysis of industrial data on produced water will also be carried out.

You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree. Your background education should include colloid and surface chemistry, as well as advanced applied mathematics, including stochastic processes, programming and numerical modelling. You should be highly motivated, able to work independently, and should be confident in written and spoken English.

Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see DTU's rules for the PhD education .
