The following opportunities are currently open at our School.
This position will remain open until filled.
We are looking for one full-time suitable candidate to conduct an MSc research project on “Modelling and optimization of emergency evacuation routes in restricted-space scenarios for underground mining”.
The project involves (but is not limited to) the following objectives:
- Numerical modelling in combination with Computational Fluid Dynamics for emergency evacuation routes in restricted space for underground mining under different gasses and fire scenarios.
- Identification and spatial mapping of critical infrastructure in underground mining environment at the pilot study site.
- Optimization of emergency evacuation routes using advanced numerical models including network analysis topologies.

Project in Biomedical Engineering
An opportunity exists to collaborate with Aston University in the UK for a Masters or PhD project in biomedical engineering. Interested students should email Weihua.ho@wits.ac.za with a recent academic transcript, CV and a short motivation (no more than 100 words).
Evaluation of a desktop SLA 3D printer for construction of a compliant PIV suitable flow models
This position will remain open until filled.
When doing in-vitro experimental work on biofluids, we are required to fabricate a flow model (or flow phantom) which is a transparent internal flow channel that has complex surface features. Current method of constructing such a phantom is based around the investment casting technique. This project aims at evaluating the use of SLA 3D printing as a possible method of fabricating a flexible flow model.
See below for a video of such flow phantoms being used for dye flow visualization:
