Other opportunities

PhD opportunity (2027 start): Unravelling turbulent mixing through exascale simulations

Supervisor: Dr Adrien Lefauve
Department: Civil and Environmental Engineering and Grantham Institute – Climate Change and the Environment, South Kensington Campus
Project summary: How does turbulence mix the climate, and how can we predict its effects? Density differences caused by temperature or salinity shape mixing throughout the ocean and atmosphere, influencing the transport of heat, nutrients and pollutants. Yet the small-scale, processes responsible for mixing remain difficult to represent in environmental models. This project will explore exceptionally detailed simulations of stratified turbulence generated by the international STRATA collaboration on Frontier, an exascale supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the USA

PhD opportunity (2027 start): Hydrodynamics of coral reef restoration

Supervisor: Dr Adrien Lefauve
Department: Civil and Environmental Engineering and Grantham Institute – Climate Change and the Environment, South Kensington Campus
Project summary: Coral reefs support biodiversity, livelihoods and coastal protection, but are increasingly threatened by ocean warming. Restoration helps damaged reefs recover, yet we still need to understand where and how it is most likely to succeed. This project will investigate how ocean flows shape the conditions experienced by corals, with the aim of informing restoration strategies. It builds on collaborations with researchers and organisations in Bali, including Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN).
