About this position
PhD opportunity in Smart Disassembly of End-of-Life EV Batteries at a joint cotutelle between CESI LINEACT (Rouen, France) and the University of Agder (Grimstad, Norway).
The project focuses on smart disassembly strategy of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries based on state assessment. The research aims to build an intelligent decision-support framework for battery disassembly and end-of-life management, combining Battery Passport data, State-of-Health (SoH) assessment, Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), Operations Research, multi-agent collaboration, industrial robotics, and optimization.
This PhD sits at the intersection of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Robotics, Environmental Science, and Materials Science. The topic is especially relevant to sustainable mobility, circular economy, simulation, decision support, battery recycling, reuse, repurposing, refurbishment, and recycling strategies.
The project benefits from the complementary expertise of CESI LINEACT and the University of Agder in battery recycling, robotics, artificial intelligence, optimization, and decision-support systems within an international research environment.
Location: Rouen, France and Grimstad, Norway.
Start date: November 2026.
Duration: 36 months.
Funding: Jointly funded by CESI LINEACT and the University of Agder under the cotutelle agreement.
Eligibility highlights: motivated candidates with interest in sustainable mobility, circular economy, optimization, artificial intelligence, and interdisciplinary research.
How to apply: Contact the supervisory team directly by email. The post lists M’Hammed Sahnoun, Ahmed Nait Chabane, and Seyd-Ali Ferahtia as the supervisory team. Include your CV and a short message of interest when reaching out.
