Opportunities are immediately available for graduate study (MSc or PhD) in the area of Pipeline Hydraulic Transportation Engineering. The project involves experimental research on pipeline transport of biomass. Student with interest in this area and relevant background in mechanical/chemical engineering (or other relevant engineering streams) and good understanding of fluid mechanics, two-phase flows, and flow phenomenon are encouraged to apply. Background in biomass material handling will be an asset but is not mandatory.


Funding in the form of scholarships, teaching and research assistantships will be made available to qualified student. Students with scholarships will be considered for top-up funding.


Interested candidates should send their curriculum vitae ASAP electronically to:
