Researcher - Corrosion and CFD simulations

The focus is set on modeling interfacial reactions with decisive importance for the function and lifetime of products in electromobility and regenerative energy technology.

• You ll be part of our team and derive and implement a strategy for the cross-scale description of the interaction of multiphase fluids and metals with a focus on electrochemistry and fluid dynamics.
• You ll develop and applicate 2D/3D multi-physics models using numerical simulations, scripting, and programming.
• Furthermore, you ll combine physics-based models with data-based approaches.
• You ll parameterize and validate models with available data using multivariate statistics.
• You ll work in international teams and perform necessary development / implementation to accomplish the tasks.
• Publish research findings in reputable journals and conferences.

Required skills:

• Proven experience in the field of modeling of corrosion phenomena at interfaces
• Profound knowledge in multi-physics simulation as well as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), preferably with OpenFOAM and/or Comsol
• Profound and broad knowledge in numerical methods in engineering
• Sound understanding of Linear algebra
• Excellent coding skills in Python and C++ including version control (e. g. Git), software testing, linting
• Competent handling of statistical data analysis and application of machine learning techniques, preferably with Python (ideally PyTorch) and C++
• Knowledge in homogenization and model order reduction methods is desirable.
• Enthusiastic and curious to work for a cross-domain task with scientific complexity

Preferable skills:

• Experience with simulation tools: Matlab and Simulink and Ansys will be added advantage.
• Familiarity with high performance computing will be added advantage
