Scholarship Description:
University of OsloThe position is connected with the project «DOMT – Developments in Optical Measurement Techniques» funded by the University of Oslo (UiO) and the Research Council of Norway. Joint supervision will be given by J. Kristian Sveen and Atle Jensen (UiO). The project objective is to improve current state of the art in the optical measurement techniques known as Particle Image Velocimetry and Synthetic Schlieren (aka Background Oriented Schlieren). These techniques rely on the principles of pattern matching and are used in a wide variety of experiments in fluid mechanics and physics. The project will work with two specific improvements to PIV and Synthetic Schlieren, and the results will be applied to a set of different experiments in the intersection between fluid mechanics and colloid chemistry.
Number of award(s):
There is one PhD research fellowship available.
Duration of award(s):
The PhD research fellowship will be for a period of 3 years, with no compulsory work (teaching). Starting date no later than 01.10.2014.
