Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark DTU - Technical University of Denmark Full time

DTU - Technical University of Denmark is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation, and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. Our department is focused on education, research, and development within functional materials and their application in sustainable energy technologies.

We are seeking a highly motivated scientist to join our team in the area of energy resilience and sustainability. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will work closely with our experienced team to advance the development of high-temperature fuel cells.

Responsibilities and Qualifications

Your main responsibilities will include:

  • Developing a detailed 3D multiphysics model of the HT-PEMFC stack to analyze and optimize thermal management.
  • Studying the degradation mechanisms of the HT-PEMFC stack using experimental data and advanced modeling techniques. Proposing and implementing improved operation modes to minimize degradation effects and enhance system performance.
  • Investigating the thermal dynamics and overall performance of the HT-PEMFC system under variable load and transient conditions. Developing a transient model to assess system behavior during power demand fluctuations and optimizing operational strategies.
  • Designing 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.

To be successful in this role, you must have a PhD degree (or equivalent) in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, energy technology, or a related field. You should also possess experience in Multiphysics and CFD modeling involving heat transfer, flow dynamics, and electrochemical processes, as well as expertise in modeling and simulation of electrochemical systems, preferably PEM fuel cells or similar energy conversion systems.
