Artificial Intelligent (AI) for Characterisation of Hydrogen (H2) Blend Fuels Combustion

 We are recruiting for a fully funded PhD Studentship which will be awarded as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) to work with Dr Moinul Hossain on a research project titled “Artificial Intelligent (AI) for Characterisation of Hydrogen (H2) Blend Fuels Combustion” in the School of Engineering at the University of Kent. Combustion characteristics of H2 blend fuels are substantially different from those of natural gas such as methane, extensive studies are needed to better understand the complex combustion characteristics of a mixture of natural gas and H2. Recently, AI has shown success in characterising the combustion process. However, major hurdles faced are the selection of accurate input variables and feature extraction for efficient performance. Also, existing machine learning-based models only offer point prediction value, however, there are uncertainties associated with point prediction.

This project aims to develop an advanced AI-enabled model to characterise the combustion states of H2 blend fuels. The model will be established using the reconstructed flame images and other sensor data. Training and testing datasets will be created to train and validate the model. The established model will be tested for different blend fuels and conditions. A data analytics tool will be developed based on the correlation of flame data and the blend conditions for evaluating the current state of the combustion process, and the impact of fuel blends on the safe and reliable operation of the applications.

We are looking for an enthusiastic self-motivated candidate who can demonstrate academic excellence, outstanding research potential and ability to teach. Applicants with a relevant first degree and strong master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or areas relevant to the PhD topic, and ideally, be familiar with artificial intelligence, image processing and data-driven are encouraged to apply.

Alongside completing your PhD programme of research and development, as a GTA you will normally be expected to work for 200 hours per annum in years 1 to 3, including teaching (maximum 96 contact hours per year) or demonstrating (maximum 130 contact hours per year) and related duties such as marking, preparation and examination.
