The research group focuses on using environmental fluid mechanics to tackle transient and steady-state environmental problems mainly via experimental methods. 

Multiple fully funded projects are available now. The students will be fully covered via the research funding.

students will get close guidance from the principal investigator for project planning, development of experimental apparatus, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. 

Also, students will conduct research with first-rate research facilities in an intellectual environment. 

Furthermore, Ph.D. students or a visiting scholar will get enough guidance and practices in presenting research work in major national and international conferences. The anticipated starting time is Summer 2021 or Fall 2021.

Qualifications:

• Solid fluid mechanics and turbulence knowledge

• Programming skills in Python or MATLAB

• Fluent in English communication

Preferred Skills:

• Hands-on experience in fluid mechanics experiments

• Solid understanding in mathematics such as linear algebra, partial differential equations, and tensors

• Experience mentoring students

Application method:

Interested applicants should contact Prof. Lei Fang at lei.fang@pitt.edudirectly with the subject line “Prospective Pitt graduate student,” and include a CV.

The preference will be given to the applicants who send CVs before Mar 1, 2021, and Zoom interviews will be scheduled quickly after receiving qualified CVs.
