Job Description:

The position involves investigating the high strain-rate stretching and breakup of non-Newtonian fluids within microchannels, a complex fluid mechanics problem.


The goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the physical processes, including filament stretching dynamics, energy transfer, and scaling laws, through experiments and simulations.


The successful candidate will analyze the influence of rheological properties on microparticle shape and formation, with collaboration from European industrial and academic partners.
