WIAS invites applications for a
PhD student position (f/m/d)
(Ref. 21/02)
in the Research Group
“Thermodynamic Modeling and Analysis of Phase Transitions”
(Head: Dr. B. Wagner, Supervisor: Dr. M. Landstorfer) starting at April 1st, 2021.
The position is tied to the MATH+ Cluster of excellence project AA4-8:
Recovery of battery ageing dynamics with multiple timescales.
The project aims at developing a data-driven methodology to recover the dynamics of battery ageing on the basis of a mathematical model in combination with numerical simulations and experimental data. The research plan covers three main aspects, (i) modeling of a porous battery cell with degradation effects, (ii) homogenization of the time periodic PDE system and (iii) determination of the parameter evolution as inverse problem with invertible neuronal networks.
We are looking for candidates with a master’s degree and a strong background in applied mathematics, theoretical chemistry, theoretical physics or electrical engineering. Prior knowledge in continuum mechanics, thermodynamics, homogenization theory, software development, or machine learning are beneficial.
