Research Fellow - Multi-Physics (Electrochemical-Thermal-Mechanical) Modelling of Battery Systems (110399-0325)

For informal queries, please reach out to Mona Faraji Niri (Associate Professor) at mora.faraji-niri@warwick.ac.uk.

We are undertaking research into how traditional Li-ion battery cell design can be optimised through the application of systems engineering, component modelling and data science.

Creating new models and predictive tools to improve battery performance, lifetime and safety.

We are therefore seeking a Research Fellow to join our team.

The RF will explore the boundaries of multi-physics and data-driven approaches. RF will be supporting the academic investigators to coordinate all aspects of the research, including experimental design, data capture, model creation and validation.

You will have unique access to the resources of our Energy Innovation Centre (EIC) and bespoke high-performance computing facilities.

The post is funded by BATTWin -- a European Council’s collaborative project with various partners in the EU -- as well as HVM Catapult in WMG. 

The overall aim of the project is to investigate: (i) the underlying reasons why current Li-ion battery electrode performance in practice falls well short of theory due to the manufacturing process limitations, (ii) novel approaches to design cells, especially with specific safety criteria, (iii) how multi-scale models can be leveraged for the performance prediction in manufacturing and afterwards. 

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
