Ph.D. students (graduating within 6 months) with relevant expertise are also encouraged to apply.

Technical requirements:

1. Ability to formulate physical models and solve the formulated equations analytically or numerically.
2. Strong foundation in numerical simulation, including developing and modifying existing codes to include multiple physics.
3. Solid foundation in electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, material sciences, and computational methods like finite-difference-time-domain, finite-element, particle-in-cell, etc.

Research Fellow

Responsibilities:

• Survey the state of the art in urban sustainability operations and optimization;
• Mathematical modelling and problem formulation to fit practical scenarios;
• Provide optimization and operation policy to guide urban sustainability; and
• Validate the findings using simulations and real data.
