Join us as a
Industrial PhD of Battery Aging and Swelling Simulation Research (m/f/d)
Your mission
- Tracking the academic frontiers and research trends in battery lifetime research and prediction technologies in Europe
- Evaluate advanced approaches to battery cell and system models for use in simulation-based analyses of battery aging and swelling
- Development and implementation of Python model codes for battery cell simulation (electrochemical, thermal, aging, swelling) over the full life cycle, taking into account the unique characteristics of lithium iron phosphate cathodes
- Development and implementation of Python model codes for battery pack simulation, consisting of single cell models, considering intrinsic cell-to-cell variations in SOC, capacity, resistance, temperature, swelling, capacity fading rates, internal resistance increase, and other module/system materials and components that affect battery characteristics and performance
- Model-based framework for predicting non-linear aging behavior of batteries under user operating conditions, extending battery life with advanced charging and thermal management strategies, and using optimization involving electrochemical models and machine learning
- Help Huawei maintain long-term and good cooperation with research groups in top universities and institutions
- Support the close collaboration with the Watt Lab's headquarters research team by regularly reporting to the sponsors on the progress of the PhD thesis-related research topics and the presentation of the results
