Fully Funded PhD in Energy Storage Modelling and Intelligent Energy Management at Concordia University Concordia University in Canada

Concordia University in Montreal, Canada is advertising a fully funded PhD position in Energy Storage Modelling and Intelligent Energy Management within the Volt-Age research environment. The project is supervised by Professor Karim Zaghib and is aimed at developing physics-based and data-driven models for battery charging, discharging, degradation, and lifecycle performance.

The research focus includes battery management strategies, predictive modelling for battery degradation, state estimation (SOC/SOH), lifecycle analysis under varying operating conditions, and the co-optimization of photovoltaic (PV) generation with battery energy storage systems. This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates interested in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Computer Science, and broader Energy/Sustainability research.

The post states that the position is for Fall 2026 and includes a scholarship of 35K CAD per year for 4 years. This indicates a strong funding package for a doctoral student. The announcement is shared by Alisa Makusheva, who appears to be academic staff involved in recruiting MSc and PhD students for funded Volt-Age research projects at Concordia University.
