PhD Scholarship: High-Temp Heat Pumps for Industry

DTU Construct; Kongens Lyngby; Sur place; DKK 307 000 - 368 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

DTU Construct invites applications for a fully funded PhD scholarship focused on integrating high-temperature heat pumps into industrial processes. The project combines thermodynamics, optimisation and machine learning to create decision-support tools for industry.

It is part of HeatMinds, a Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network coordinating multiple European partners. You will develop rapid models to assess integration and economic value, work on co-optimization of heat recovery, electrification

Qualifications

• Solid background in engineering thermodynamics, heat transfer and energy technologies.
• Familiarity with modelling and numerical simulations for MSc theses or projects.
• Programming skills, preferably in Python, Matlab, Modelica or similar.

Responsabilités

• Develop models to rapidly estimate performance and break-even points for specific sites.
• Extend methods for heat pump integration that co-optimize heat recovery, electrification and flexibility.
• Refine and validate methods during industrial secondments; publish in journals and present at conferences.
