About this position

This PhD opening is based at RWTH Aachen University in the Chair of Thermodynamics of Mobile Energy Conversion Systems (TME), which is part of the Institute of Thermodynamics together with the Chair of Technical Thermodynamics (LTT). The chair works within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and is led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Pischinger. Research at TME and its Center for Mobile Propulsion (CMP) focuses on mobile powertrain technologies and sustainable mobility.

The advertised project is centred on electrolysis and green hydrogen. The doctoral researcher will contribute to the development of a modular electrolyzer model as a digital twin, investigate aging effects through simulation and comparison with measurement data, and develop predictive operating strategies linked to weather data and reports for direct coupling with renewable electricity sources. The work also includes the design of new state-diagnosis and regeneration functions.

The surrounding research environment combines thermodynamics, propulsion systems, fuel cell and battery-electric technologies, and intelligent test and calibration methods. The position is embedded in an applied engineering group with strong connections to measurement, simulation, and sustainable mobility research.

Contact supervision is listed with Prof. Marco Günther.

Funding details

Paid employee position, full-time, graded EG 13 TV-L; the post is initially funded for 1 year with continuation up to a total of 4 years intended.

What's required

Applicants must have a completed university degree at master’s level or equivalent in mechanical engineering (process/control/energy/design engineering) or electrical engineering (power engineering/electrical systems). Candidates should have knowledge of modeling and simulation, preferably in Matlab/Simulink or Modelica, with advantageous experience in data analysis and test bench operation. Basic knowledge of electrolyzers and/or fuel cells/systems is required. Strong MS Office skills, especially Excel and PowerPoint, plus good German and English skills are expected. The position also requires the ability to work independently in research, creativity, flexibility, and team orientation.
