Keywords : Jobs Subject: Global dynamic optimization Objective: The objective of the work is to develop and implement new global dynamic optimization methods and algorithms for a certain class of processes. These methods will be applied for example in pressure swing adsorption processes to determine the optimal configuration for a chosen performance index. This work will be achieved in the framework of the European project IMPULSE involving many universities and companies. The gross salary is about 36000€. Profile and Skills: - Chemical Engineering - Constrained optimization - Experience with static and dynamic simulation softwares would be appreciated.
