Fast solvers for frequency domain wave scattering problems and applications

funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council

Applications are invited for this position, which is concerned with the formulation, analysis, implementation and applications of fast solvers for partial differential equations arising in acoustic, electromagnetic and elastic wave problems, modelled in the frequency domain. It will be particularly concerned with parallel domain decomposition methods for solving the large ill-conditioned linear systems that arise from typical applications, especially in seismic inversion and in electromagnetics.

This appointment is part of a collaboration with University of Strathclyde (Glasgow) and the EPSRC funding provides for the appointment of two linked PDRAs, one at Bath  and one with our partners in Glasgow.  The investigators are  Ivan Graham, Euan Spence and Silvia Gazzola at Bath and Victorita Dolean at Strathclyde.

The post has a start date of 1 January 2019 for a 3-year period. Should candidates wish to have an earlier or later start date this can be considered.

Candidates are encouraged to apply for both this position:
