Research Fellow in Engineering Software

Multiphase flow measurement is a fundamental enabling metrology in subsea oil and gas production. However, field measurements exhibit high measurement uncertainty, costing industry billions of euros in financial exposure and production inefficiencies. To improve this situation requires a reference measurement capability that is consistent and comparable across different test laboratories that offer this service. The project is funded by European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research, which will address this need by establishing harmonisation of measurements between multiphase flow reference laboratories.

The overall aim of your role will be to migrate previously developed gas-oil-water multiphase flow visualisation software and associated tomography methods to this project, by the enhancement of visualisation from offline to online mode, thereby greatly enhancing the information obtainable in real-time during the tests in collaboration with a number industries.

Holding a relevant PhD (or close to completion) in Software Engineering, you will have proven research experience in gas-oil-water three phase flow instrumentation and measurement, with excellent software development skills and experience of using C ++ and/or Labview or Matlab for flow visualisation and instrumentation.
