Seeking one motivated engineering graduate student to support a research project on Multiphysics modeling and insulation design optimization of glass melting furnaces. The project focusses on improving thermal efficiency and reducing energy loss using computational analysis and data-driven design approaches. Career Readiness Competencies Present ideas or updates in a clear and organized manner. Analyze problems and propose practical solutions. Take ownership of assigned responsibilities and follow through. Follow instructions, meet deadlines, and deliver quality work. Use technology to organize, track, or present information clearly. Develop and run simulations using computational modeling tools Conduct parametric studies by modifying input conditions (e.g., furnace wall thickness, material configurations) Perform data analysis, visualization, and interpretation of results Evaluate and optimize insulation design configurations Assist in preparing technical reports, figures, and documentation Contribute to research discussions and potential publications Support general research activities as needed Graduate student in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or a related engineering field Strong understanding of heat transfer, thermodynamics, or Multiphysics modeling Experience or familiarity with simulation tools (e.g., COMSOL, ANSYS) is a plus Familiarity with MATLAB or Python for data analysis Strong analytical and problem-solving skills Ability to work independently and contribute to research development This position provides hands-on experience in applied engineering research, data analysis, and energy-efficient design, with exposure to real-world industrial problems.
