PhD Positions in Testing and Modelling of Lithium-Ion Batteries Under Operational and Abuse Conditions Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Norway

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is recruiting two PhD candidates in the BATT-MECH project, a collaboration between the Department of Structural Engineering and the Department of Energy and Process Engineering. The project is connected to SIMLab (Structural Impact Laboratory) and the Battery Mechanics and Sensing Lab, and is carried out in collaboration with Audi AG. The research addresses the safety, reliability and lifetime of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicle...

This PhD opening at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is part of the joint BATT-MECH project, linking the Department of Structural Engineering with the Department of Energy and Process Technology. The project is carried out across SIMLab (Structural Impact Laboratory) and the Battery Mechanics and Sensing Lab , and is developed in close collaboration with Audi AG, giving the research a strong industrial and automotive relevance. The project addresses the behaviour of lith...

The Department of Structural Engineering at NTNU is offering a PhD position focused on the consequences of drone attacks on people, buildings, and critical infrastructure. The project addresses malicious drone use in conflict, especially contact charges, near-field explosions, and fragmentation effects from detonating drones. The doctoral research combines testing, modelling, and simulation of detonating drones. The work aims to improve the accuracy of advanced numerical models by combining repr...

SINTEF Industry is offering three PhD candidate positions within the HeatMinds European research project, funded by the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks (MSCA-DN) programme. The positions are hosted by SINTEF’s Department of Metal Production and Processing (MPP) and Department of Sustainable Energy Technology (BET), and are focused on industrial high-temperature heat pumps (IHTHPs), energy system integration, and industrial decarbonisation. The doctoral researchers...

Ghent University (UGent) in Belgium is advertising a PhD opening in the Mechanics of Materials and Structures group, focused on the computational mechanics and finite element modelling of composite materials for pressurized hydrogen storage tanks . The project sits in the context of the hydrogen economy and aims to develop composite solutions for future hydrogen storage tanks used in vehicles and refueling infrastructure. The PhD researcher will study tank behavior under different operational co...
