PhD Studentship: Materials-reinforced multifunctional coatings for built environments

University of Exeter · ESE

  • Devon, United Kingdom
  • ESE

Porous construction materials, such as concrete, brick, or wood, are widely utilised in built environments due to their structural strength, durability, and thermal mass. However, their susceptibility to water ingress can lead to issues such as surface degradation, internal cracking, frost damage, and biological colonisation. Prolonged exposure to moisture makes these materials particularly vulnerable to mould growth, which accelerates structural decay, compromises indoor air quality, and poses significant health risks to building occupants. Moisture exposure to outdoor surfaces can also cause

PhD Studentship: Regularized dynamical parametric approximations for gradient flows

University of Birmingham · School of Mathematics

  • Birmingham, United Kingdom
  • School of Mathematics

Parametric integrators approximate solutions of (high-dimensional) partial differential equations by restricting the numerical approximation to a closed form that nonlinearly depends on, and is identified by, a set of parameters. Such methods are a popular choice in quantum dynamics, where the wavefunctions of many-body systems are approximated by multiple Gaussians. The methodology of interest further appears in the approximation of various dynamical problems by tensor networks and neural networks. In all these cases, the parametrization is typically irregular, meaning that the occurring line
