Heat Exchanger Materials Researcher

Research high-performance heat exchangers with Brunel University's BCAST team, focusing on advanced aluminium brazing, temperature control, and joint integrity.

This Research Assistant/Research Fellow appointment contributes to TURBOCOOLING, an Innovate UK project at Brunel University of London. The project investigates energy-efficient and frost-resistant heat exchangers enabled by advanced aluminium brazing. Your work will combine induction heating, temperature monitoring, modelling, and materials characterisation to improve brazed components.

Key Responsibilities:

• Investigate aluminium alloy brazing using induction heating systems
• Integrate temperature monitoring and control during brazing
• Develop methods for high-integrity aluminium brazed joints
• Model temperature distributions during the brazing process
• Evaluate joint microstructures and mechanical properties

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related subject
• Desirable PhD in Materials, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering
• Relevant capability across experimental and modelling research activities
• Availability for part-time hours of 9.58 weekly
• Interest in heat exchanger materials research

Contribute to energy-efficient heat exchanger research through induction brazing, temperature modelling, and rigorous joint evaluation.
