The CRECK Modeling Lab is looking for candidates for a Ph.D. position for a research project in collaboration with Brembo S.p.A., a leading company working in the field of disk brake technology. The project is about the numerical modeling of the Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) process for the production of carbon disk brakes for aircraft and racing car markets.
The research activities are focused on the numerical modeling of CVI reactors through multi-scale/multi-physics CFD analyses, aimed at advancing the understanding of the physical and chemical phenomena governing the densification process, in order to improve and optimize the reactor design or to propose new reactor concepts.
The Ph.D. grant lasts 3 years and provides a monthly scholarship of about € 1350. The candidate is expected to spend about six months at Brembo S.p.A. to collect and analyze experimental data, essential for proper validation of developed numerical tools.
