Modeling & Optimizing Electrolysis
Embark on a research adventure at the forefront of Electrochemical Engineering in Aachen. Join our dynamic team exploring innovative projects where we build models of electrolysis, then simulate them and ultimately calculate not a solution, but the optimal solution. Gain hands-on experience, contribute to cutting-edge research tools, and discover the vibrant city of Charlemagne at the intersection of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. Shape the future of Electrochemical Engineering with us!
Keywords: green hydrogen, electrolysis, electrification, defossilization, optimization, flexibilization, H2, process development
We are the Group for Electrochemical Applications at the chair of Process Systems Engineering in Aachen. The conceptual levels we work on are:
Thermodynamics, the Reactor itself, the surrounding System of the Electrolyzer and Scheduling (considering the intermittent renewable energy).
Our applications are: Water Electrolysis (PEM&AWE), CO2-/N2-Electrolysis, Co-Electrolysis, and electrochemical H2-Compression. We are always looking for students to join our group of young, motivated scientists for a research stay to write a thesis.
Your benefits:
• Learn about recent developments of Electrolysis in Chemical Engineering
• Experience in Programming and Optimization
• Development of tools that can be used in future research
• Getting to know the city of Charlemagne, literally at the intersection of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany
What we expect from you:
• Sound knowledge in Chemical engineering or process development or software development
• Basic knowledge in Python (or other programming languages)
• Helpful but not required: knowledge in Optimization or Modeling
Potential funding opportunities to offset costs for a research stay with us:
• If you are from EU (+a few others) -> ERASMUS+
• TU Delft, ETH Zurich, Chalmers, or Milano -> IDEA League
• Everywhere -> DAAD Green Hydrogen

Saving the world of course ;)
And learning something along the way, hopefully.
