Stellenbeschreibung

Your Job :

Computing performance plays a very critical role in the use of model-based approaches to the planning, design, and operation of energy systems. At ICE-1, the department of High-Performance Computing focuses on the development of innovative methodologies for the parallelization of simulation algorithms as well as on the best exploitation of hardware architectures. In this context, we are developing an innovative solver for faster than real time simulation of multi-modal energy system with founding from Helmholtz Foundation and DFG.

Your areas of research will include among others :

  • Define parallelization methods for energy grids simulation (DAE and ODE systems)
  • Apply the developed methods to energy grids simulation using internally developed tools (e.g. GasNetSim)
  • Explore the use of heterogenous architectures for best runtime performance
  • Representation in national and international networks
  • Presentation of your research results at (international) meetings and conferences, as well as in the form of publications in relevant journals

Your Profile :

  • Excellent Masters degree in informatics, computational sciences, electrical engineering or comparable
  • Strong mathematical background
  • Knowledge and experience in programming (Python, others)
  • Knowledge of state-of-the-art parallel programming paradigms (e.g. MPI, OpenCL)
  • Very good communication skills in English , German is a bonus but not necessary

    • With your application documents (CV, motivation letter, Bachelors and Masters ToR and any further relevant certificates) please also upload one document where you briefly explain your specific exdperience with :

  • Parallel computing architectures
  • Handling of large data sets
  • Python
  • GPU ready Computation Frameworks (e.g. OpenCL, Cuda)
  • Computation of differential equation systems

    • Our Offer :

    We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree :

  • Possibility of pursuing a PhD at RWTH Aachen University supervised by Prof. Benigni
