Simulation Hiwi for battery research models

Job vacancy: From now on

Description

Motivation
At IAM-ET we are actively shaping the future of energy storage. In particular, we use and develop methods for the model-based analysis and optimisation of the physical and chemical processes at the electrode surfaces. We have developed Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) models capable of analysing the formation of boundary layers between different anodes and liquid electrolytes, commonly referred to as the Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI).

For the standardisation and maintenance of our model we are looking for a HiWi who can work at least 30 hours/month. We are looking for both Bachelors and Master’s students with strong programming skills, preferably in MATLAB. Knowledge of modelling electrochemical systems would be an advantage. If possible, the employment relationship should be designed for long-term collaboration.

Areas of responsibility:
• Modularization of existing model and its extensions in MATLAB.
• Updating the model extension in GITLAB library.
• Increasing efficiency of code
• Management of the GITLAB library
• Literature research on latest KMC methods for battery research

About us:
We offer excellent supervision and the opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary team on a cutting-edge topic. The IAM-ET offers a constantly growing team with expertise in battery, fuel cell and electrocatalysis research focused on simulation at Campus East KIT and on experiments at Campus Sud KIT. There are regular opportunities to work on our research projects as part of your final thesis.
For more information about the position, please contact Sebastian Frentzen. If you are interested, please send us your CV, transcript of records and a current certificate of enrollment.
