Overview

Your Job :

In this PhD project, you will shape the future of power system security by harnessing exascale computing. Your research will focus on understanding and enhancing grid resilience under extreme scenarios.

Responsibilities

• Conduct security and resilience studies for highly stressed systems (, multiple faults, high renewable shares, or equipment failures).
• Evaluate system vulnerabilities and design recovery and stability strategies using large-scale simulation workflows.
• Build and expand realistic, continent-scale power system models (, the European transmission grid).
• Implement and test GPU-capable, parallelized simulation frameworks.
• Work closely with experts in HPC and power systems to enhance scalability and computational performance.
• Disseminate your findings through scientific publications, conferences, and collaborations
