PhD: Sodium-Ion Batteries via AI & Multiscale Modelling

Laplace Expert Ltd; Southampton; À distance; GBP 19 000 - 23 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

The University of Southampton is offering a fully funded PhD to optimise sodium-ion batteries using atomistic simulation, AI and continuum modelling. The project connects atomistic simulations with continuum battery models to understand sodium incorporation, capacity and cycling lifetime and to identify improved electrode materials.

It works alongside Faraday Institution experimental programmes and an industry partner.

Qualifications

• Applicants must have a UK 2:1 honours degree in chemistry, physics or materials science.
• Experience with density-functional-theory calculations or other atomistic simulation methods is desirable.

Responsabilités

• Optimise sodium-ion batteries using atomistic simulation, AI and continuum modelling.
• Connect atomistic simulations with continuum battery models to understand sodium incorporation, capacity and cycling lifetime.
• Identify and propose improved electrode materials.
• Collaborate with Faraday Institution experimental programmes and an industry partner.
