TITLE : Sensitivity analysis of Titan ionospheric chemistry models
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES :
The aim of this theoretical work is to evaluate the predictive
accuracyof Titan ionospheric chemistry models, which are developed to
interpret data from the ongoing Cassini-Huygens mission. A thorough
analysis of uncertainties associated to reaction parameters reported in
the literature as well as a determination of relevant chemical processes
to implement in the models will be performed. Effect of chemical
kinetic uncertainties on modeling results will be assessed. The most
important reaction will be identified using sensitivity analysis
methods, in order to plan future laboratory experiments. The candidate
will work with a reaction dynamics team composed of experimentalists and
theoreticians, in collaboration with planetary scientists. CANDIDATE
PROFILEÂ :
Several scientific profiles could be considered: gas phase reactivity;
kinetics modeling of complex chemical systems (atmospheres, combustion,
plasmas...), and; planetary atmospheres modeling. A strong motivation
for this interdisciplinary project, merging physical chemistry and
planetary sciences, is required.
