Current Opportunities in Concentrated Solar Power research

ARC Grant-Funded Researcher (B) – School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering

Job no: 512281
Work type: Fixed term – Full-time
Campus: Adelaide
Categories: Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology

In this role you will contribute to establish opportunities and evaluate barriers and constrains in introducing hydrogen as a fuel into heavy industries, including iron/steel, alumina/aluminium, and cement/lime sectors. The tasks will include but are not limited to experimentation in hydrogen combustion under conditions relevant to different heavy industry processes, design and testing of basic and novel burners and furnaces at laboratory scale. You will also contribute to work aimed at advance fundamental understanding of hydrogen flames via optical diagnostic techniques.
