Project Assistants/Associates

Abinitio calculations

Arkke Eskola

A post doc position is available in Dr. Arkke's lab at University of Helsinki, Finland. Candidates with significant, proven expertise in computational reaction kinetics, especially in reactive potential energy surface calculations (using Gaussian, Molpro etc.) and in master equation simulations are encouraged to apply.

Methods for mechanism reduction

Krithika Narayanaswamy

Reaction mechanisms that describe the oxidation of a fuel are huge with several thousands of individual steps. While using them in computations, compact representation of these schemes are essential. This project initially involves developing a black box tool to reduce reaction mechanisms based on existing ideas. Improvements will be suggested to existing methods, their pros and cons will be evaulated, and the perfect order in which they must be applied to achieve best results will be investigated.
