Seeking a few Research Scientists or Postdoctoral Researchers (25-3344)(Complex Phenomena Unified Simulation Research Team)

About this position

[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]

• Background of the recruitment and description of the project

The RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS), led by Center Director Satoshi Matsuoka, are threefold, centered around supercomputing: one is to target high performance computation itself as a scientific objective, or namely, the "Science of Computing"; another is to apply the enormous computational power thus obtained to solve difficult scientific problems, or namely the "Science by Computing"; finally, to collaborate with other scientific disciplines that contribute to advances in both sciences, or namely, the "Science for Computing. Our goal is to be recognized as one of the global leadership research centers to advance high-end computational science in this regard.

The Complex Phenomena Unified Simulation Research Team is recruiting research employees to carry out a new theme. The research overview of the laboratory is shown below.

The Complex Phenomena Unified Simulation Research Team, one of the research teams at R-CCS, conducts research and development on unified simulation methodologies that effectively leverage the performance of large-scale high-performance computing systems such as the supercomputer Fugaku. Our target problems involve complex couplings among multiple governing equations, including those for fluid and structural dynamics, heat transfer, electromagnetics, and chemical reactions. To achieve this goal, we also study algorithms for efficiently solving coupled systems of governing equations for complex phenomena, and we develop tools to improve single-node and parallel performance with careful consideration of computer architectures.

The simulation technologies we develop are aimed at real-world deployment through RIKEN’s industry–academia collaboration consortia.
