Propulsion & Energy Conversion Laboratory

We anticipate that there will be available positions (PhD/MASc) for exceptionally motivated students with impressive academic backgrounds in the upcoming admission cycle. Prospective candidates who are interested should acquaint themselves with the research work conducted by the Propulsion and Energy Conversion Lab, familiarize themselves with the admission process at UTIAS, and reach out to Professor Chaudhuri by email, providing a comprehensive CV.

In particular, prospective students interested in either of the following two experimental projects are encouraged to apply.

1. Micromix based, high-pressure turbulent combustion of hydrogen for next generation power and propulsion (in partnership with Siemens Energy, McGill, UPoly, NRC)

2. Flame stabilization and structure in high speed flows.

3. Droplet and ice nucleation in a lab-scale contrail (in partnership with Pratt & Whitney Canada and NRC)

All projects involve laser based diagnostics and development of predictive tools using physics and machine learning.
