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

About the Position

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced researcher to join our team at DTU Energy as a Postdoc in Modeling of High-Temperature PEM Fuel Cells. This project focuses on developing and demonstrating a modular, containerized fuel cell system capable of dual-fuel operation with either hydrogen or methanol.

The successful candidate will be responsible for advancing the development of reliable and efficient dual-fuel HT-PEMFC systems using multi-physics, multi-scale modeling of the stacks. The project emphasizes system performance, flexibility, and durability under harsh operating conditions.

The position offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in energy resilience and to collaborate with leading European institutions on a high-impact project.

Responsibilities and Qualifications

  • 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.

Required Skills and 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.
