The project focuses on developing robust, reliable, and efficient numerical methods for simulating extreme fluid conditions. Leveraging an established experimental facility based on electrically induced wire explosions, which generate pressures in the GPa range, this research emphasizes advanced computational modeling to accurately replicate and predict extreme states achievable with everyday laboratory resources. Integrating numerical techniques from high-voltage engineering, plasma physics, and compressible fluid dynamics, the project will computationally investigate the fundamental physical properties of imploding shock waves in liquids, optimize methods for focal energy concentration, and explore the behavior of matter under such extreme conditions.
Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by Assoc. Prof. Michael Liverts and Prof. Nicholas Apazidis. Decisions are made on admission
A postgraduate education at an institution that is active and supportive in matters pertaining to working conditions, gender equality and diversity as well as study environment.

Information regarding admission and employment
Only those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years' time. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g. training and administration. A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time. In the case of studies that are to be completed with a licentiate degree, the total period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education for two years.
Apply for the position and admission through KTH's recruitment system. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that the application is complete in accordance with the instructions in the advertisement.
Applications must be received at the last closing date at midnight, CET/CEST (Central European Time/Central European Summer Time).
Applications must include the following elements:
CV including your relevant professional experience and knowledge.
Application letter with a brief description of why you want to pursue research studies, about what your academic interests are and how they relate to your previous studies and future goals. (Maximum 2 pages long)
Copies of diplomas and grades from previous university studies and certificates of fulfilled language requirements (see above). Translations into English or Swedish if the original document is not issued in one of these languages.Copies of originals must be certified.
Representative publications or technical reports. For longer documents, please provide a summary (abstract) and a web link to the full text.
Other information
Striving towards gender equality, diversity and equal conditions is both a question of quality for KTH and a given part of our values.
