Research Assistant - PhD Candidate at Incubation Technology, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium


The research group Measure, Model and Manage Bioresponses (M3-BIORES) headed by Prof. Daniel Berckmans is one of the leading groups at bio-monitoring and control together with research on imperfectly mixed fluids around living organisms. The research objective is to measure in an on-line manner biological responses of living organisms and their individual micro-environment and to predict their dynamic response in order to monitor and control their well being, health and performance.

Currently, there exists an open position as: Research Assistant – PhD Candidate
For one year with a global intention to complete a doctoral degree. The title of the project is:
‘ Development of a new concept of incubators for broiler eggs ‘
Project description and tasks:
By using the knowledge of the environmental requirements of chicken embryos during incubation, combined with heat transfer technology, the aim of this job is to come up with a new concept of incubation technology. To come to this point, a virtual egg might help the simulation of several concepts. Tasks include computer simulation of incubator environments possibly with CFD tools, and also experimental validation of prototypes. This job is in close collaboration with an industrial partner.
Requirements:
He/She must have a master’s degree (mechanical engineering, civil engineering, bio-engineering, electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, or another relevant field).
He/She must be able to speak and write English fluently. Experience with Fluent and Gambit is obligatory. Working knowledge of the MATLAB programming environment is an advantage.
