Jeddah, Saudi Arabia KAUST Full time

Postdoctoral Fellow in Theory and Computation (Chemistry)- King Abdullah University of Science and Technology: Postdoc Positions: Biological and Environmental Science and Engineering Division (postdoc)**Location**:

- Thuwal, Saudi Arabia**Open Date**:

- Sep 30, 2021**Description**:
**Project**:Simulating physical and chemical processes at water-hydrophobe interfaces**

**Description**: Interfacial mass and energy transfer, chemical transformations/reactions, and tensions at water interfaces are implicated in numerous natural and industrial processes, such as the atmosphere-hydrosphere exchange, cloud physics and chemistry, thundercloud charging, precipitation, ion speciation, aerobic bioreactors, food and beverages, soil physics, underwater insect respiration, and the ubiquitous water evaporation/condensation events. Probing the air-water interface of molecular thickness, however, remains a daunting research area due to the challenges associated with direct experimental interrogation as well as the limitations of the water models. We are combining experiment and theory to probe the water surface.

Research opportunities include:

- Continuum scale simulations of heat and mass transfer, e.g., evaporating/exploding water droplets/sprays.
- Molecular simulations of nanoconfined liquids
- Chemical reactions in bulk water, gas-phase, and interfacial water - DFT, _ab initio_ MD
- Wetting transitions on nanotextured surfaces; heat and mass transfer across porous media: continuum models, MD, CFD

Terrific opportunities to work with experimentalists in our Group and external collaborators.
