**Job Description**
This role focuses on delivering an academic research project, “HarbourCraftSafe: Fire Resilient Battery Room Design for Next-Gen Electric Harbour,” funded by MPA and in collaboration with local industry partners. The primary responsibilities include developing a CFD modelling platform to evaluate combustion, flammable, and toxic gas emission and dispersion characteristics from battery fires/thermal runaway in battery rooms. The role also involves experimentally characterizing heat release rates and gas emissions of various eHC batteries through reduced-scale testing, and evaluating gas monitoring sensor performance for remote monitoring and early detection, along with potential fire suppression strategies.
**Skills & Abilities**
• Strong foundation in Fluid Dynamics
• Strong skills in turbulence modelling, CFD mesh generation in complex 3D geometries
• Proficient in handling large data sets and the ability to analyze and interpret results
• Proficient in Ansys Fluent or FDS Simulation
• Able to work independently
• Strong data analytical skills
• Communication and interpersonal skills
• Able to build and maintain strong working relationships with people within and external to the university
• Self-directed learner who believes in continuous learning and development
• Proficient in technical writing and presentation
