2 PhD's on digital twins for modelling and forecasting induced seismicity

Are you inspired by (analogies between) the physics of soft-matter systems and the phenomenology of (induced) seismicity?
Are you fascinated by the complex physics of stabilized emulsions?
Are you passionate about programming and high-performance computing?
Are you eager to collaborate with geophysics colleagues and to analyse field data?

Eindhoven University of Technology is looking for two motivated PhD candidates that will advance the fundamental understanding on the physics of dense stabilized emulsions to develop quantitative analogues for (induced) seismicity.

Injecting or extracting fluids into the shallow subsurface carries the risk of induced seismicity. An explicit multi-physics system to model fluid-migration induced seismicity is currently not within reach due to the complexity of the phenomena involved. In this project your will contribute to build a digital twin for induced seismicity based on a numerical model of soft-glass dynamics.
