PhD position summary/title: PhD position – Stochastic Predictive Optimization for the Electrical Grid
In response to the urgent demands posed by climate change in an increasingly global economy and in addition to the goal of reducing dependence on imported energy sources and raw materials, the European energy system is considering a shift from an energy system based on fossil fuels that relies on large power plants, to a dynamic, supply- and demand-driven approach, often organized in local energy communities where renewable energy is the main source.
The envisioned system exhibits a level of complexity related to the coordination of distributed renewable resources connected to the electrical grid and the stochastic behavior of consumption and generations, which introduce a high level of uncertainty. To counteract it, optimization methods that can make accurate predictions by compensating for stochastic effects are needed to achieve the goal of sustainability and maintain the stability of the energy system.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – System-level integrated circuit design and modeling for scalable quantum computing architectures
We are working on scalable electronic architectures based on semiconductor spin quantum bits (qubits) to make the vision of a universal quantum computer reality. For scaling up the number of qubits into the millions, it is crucial to move parts of the control electronics closer to the qubits. To achieve this, we design and implement cryogenic integrated circuits for qubit control and readout in state-of-the-art CMOS technologies. Since qubits are extremely sensitive and operate in temperatures at low millikelvin levels, the requirements on power consumption, noise and area are severe. For this reason, it is necessary to develop new and groundbreaking architectures and circuit topologies. Modeling electronics and their interfaces to qubits in this challenging environment is an essential part of this.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Three-dimensional characterization of metal electrodes by X-ray tomography
In pursuit of better energy storage solutions, IEK-9 is researching novel battery systems such as metal-air utilizing environmentally friendly, cheap, abundant materials (e.g. Zinc or Iron). The leap to practical application of metal-air batteries won’t happen without deep understanding of the degradation processes occurring at different conditions and modes of operation. The failure mechanism of a cell is often manifested by changes in the morphology of active material. However, besides the anode, such a cell consists of electrolyte, cathode (membrane providing oxygen for reaction), current collector and separator. This makes the whole system more complex. Even a slight change to pH or molarity of electrolyte, might drastically alter its behavior, and up to now – there is no comprehensive study quantitatively linking the environmental variables (pH, molarity) with observed morphology and electrochemical information. It is caused by practical limitations of typical metallographic techniques such as destructive, time-consuming sample preparation and complexity of operando setup. Therefore, imaging techniques such as X-ray computed tomography (XCT), play an important role in providing statistical data necessary to evaluate such a system1. XCT is non-destructive, does not require sample preparation and is able to deliver 3D information in reasonable time if boosted by the machine learning (ML). This thesis will be a significant milestone on the way to practical application of metal-air batteries. Observation, via XCT, of the morphology of active material responding in operando to different variables (e.g. pH, molarity) will provide unique insight into the degradation processes taking place. Moreover, acquired imaging data, thanks to its good statistical power, can be used for quantification and to create the universal model incorporating all the variables affecting the performance of the system.

The extracted fibers will serve as the raw substance for the protein fibers-based material. The quality of the fibers’ extraction and reproducibility of the method should be evaluated using such methods as SEM, TEM, and AFM. On the next stage, the assembly of the fibers should be performed using the self-assembly, shear-coating, and other biochemical and mechanical approaches. Electrical and electrochemical characterizations will be conducted to evaluate the material performance.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Towards proton-conducting ceramic electrolyzers (PCCELs) with enhanced durability
On European level, but also globally, green hydrogen production needs to be significantly increased to support industrial decarbonization. Currently, electrolysis technologies suffer from limitations in terms of cost, efficiency, stability, scalability, and recyclability. This is mainly due to the lack of understanding and identification of electrolyzer degradation mechanisms and improvement of current cell performance.
In the frame of a European project, the efficiency performance of electrolyzers is aimed to be increased by reducing the use of critical materials and extending the useful life of these systems. These goals will be achieved through combined modeling and experimental effort to identify and understand the degradation mechanisms on multiple scales aligned with harmonization protocols and made available through dedicated online data centers.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Theory and Simulation of Electrocatalyst Materials for Water Electrolysis
Economically viable and environmentally friendly hydrogen-based energy technologies, such as fuel cells and electrolysers, are of enormous strategic importance. Efficiently catalyzing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains key challenge for the wide-spread commercialization of water electrolysis technologies. Owing to its excellent catalytic activity and stability, iridium oxide is the state-of-the-art anode catalyst for the OER in proton-exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE), but the price and scarcity of iridium are matter of concern. Employing quantum-mechanical methods, the newly hired PhD candidate will simulate and predict properties of mixed metal oxides as electrocatalysts for the OER. Computational workflows will be developed for automated processing of compositional libraries for relevant classes of mixed oxides. Basic materials descriptors towards combined activity and stability will be identified. AI-powered data analytics and inverse design approaches will be employed to predict materials combinations for optimized performance as PEMWE anode electrocatalysts. Computer simulations will be performed on latest supercomputer resources of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC).
