Joint Doctorate SEED 2014 Erasmus Mundus fellowship International Students
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate SEED provides in-depth training in the development and implementation of new state-of-the-art computational techniques for the modelling and solution of cutting-edge engineering problems in industry.
Research will be carried out one or more up-to-date techniques such as:
- Discontinuous Galerkin (DG)
- Fluid Structure Interaction (FI)
- Isogeometric analysis
- X-FEM
- Mesh-free methods
- Mortar Methods
- Error estimation
- Multi-scale analysis
- Mesh generation
SEED program aims to meet industry current needs, where early product prototyping and development is now entirely carried out through numerical modelling, prior to physical experimentation of a few selected designs. The complexities of such models require new computational approaches, which are the main focus of SEED research activities.
SEED candidates aim to cover important areas in engineering which include:
- Biomedical engineering: vascular system, respiratory system, tissue engineering.
- Civil engineering: soil stability, foundations, earthquake engineering, durability.
- Aerospace engineering: composite materials, turbulence analysis, aerodynamics.
- Environmental engineering: noise analysis, pollution analysis, risk management.
Students will be also taught to develop core entrepreneurial skills to successfully move ideas into commercial practice through a series of transversal entrepreneurship modules, as part of their training. Doctoral students will be immersed in an innovation environment through interaction with newly established R&D spin-offs hosted within specialist incubator units. 2014 Erasmus Mundus Fellowship for International Students.
