Postdoc in Modeling of High Temperature PEM Fuel Cells
1 month ago
Are you passionate about advancing fuel cell technologies and contributing to innovative solutions for energy resilience under harsh conditions? Do you thrive in international collaborative settings and wish to play a key role in an EU-funded project with researchers from multiple countries? If so, this postdoc position could be a good opportunity for you.
This project focuses on developing and demonstrating a modular, containerized fuel cell system capable of dual-fuel operation with either hydrogen or methanol. The system aims to provide electrical power to critical infrastructure during emergencies and is based on high-temperature PEM (HT-PEM) technology. The HT-PEM systems operate at approximately 160 °C, offering simplified designs and operational advantages, including improved water management, facile heat rejection, and the ability to use reformates directly.
At DTU Energy, we have been carrying out R&D in sustainable energy conversion technologies and especially fuel cells and electrolysis cells for many years, and we are among the world's leaders in research and development in this area. We have excellent facilities and competences for fabrication, modeling, testing and characterization of such devices.
Responsibilities and QualificationsThe focus of this postdoc project is to help advance the development of a reliable and efficient dual-fuel HT-PEMFC systems using multi-physics, multi-scale modelling of the stacks. The project emphasizes system performance, flexibility, and durability under harsh operating conditions, ensuring its reliability for providing electrical power using hydrogen and methanol as fuels. A modular and containerized design, coupled with efficient thermal management and degradation mitigation strategies, is core to this initiative.
Your primary tasks will be to:
- Develop a detailed 3D multiphysics model of the HT-PEMFC stack to analyze and optimize thermal management.
- Study the degradation mechanisms of the HT-PEMFC stack using experimental data and advanced modeling techniques. Propose and implement improved operation modes to minimize degradation effects and enhance system performance.
- Investigate the thermal dynamics and overall performance of the HT-PEMFC system under variable load and transient conditions. Develop a transient model to assess system behavior during power demand fluctuations and optimize operational strategies.
- Design a heat recovery system, tailored to the high-temperature PEMFC system to produce warm water for practical applications (e.g., heating and washing) in disaster areas.
You must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, energy technology, or a related field, and possess the following qualifications:
- Experience in Multiphysics and CFD modeling involving heat transfer, flow dynamics, and electrochemical processes.
- Expertise in modeling and simulation of electrochemical systems, preferably PEM fuel cells or similar energy conversion systems.
- Proficiency in relevant computational tools, such as COMSOL Multiphysics, ANSYS, or equivalent software.
- Familiarity with degradation mechanisms and transient behavior of PEM fuel cell stacks is advantageous.
- A high motivation to advance clean energy technologies under harsh conditions.
- Excellent teamwork and collaboration skills to perform in an international consortium.
- Strong communication skills in both written and spoken English.
If you don't meet all the qualifications listed above, but are passionate about the research topic and believe you can contribute to the project, we encourage you to apply

The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage is focused on education, research, and development within functional materials and their application in sustainable energy technologies. In a sustainable energy system a large part of the energy will be supplied by fluctuating sources such as solar and wind power. This makes it critically important to be able to convert and store the energy as needed. The researchers in the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage address technologies and materials for direct conversion and subsequent storage of different forms of energy.
