About the Role
This is a paid 12-week internship opportunity and is a hybrid, in-office role. The focus is on developing tools and capabilities to accelerate materials research, specifically in the area of emissions-free mobility. The intern researcher will contribute to the development of automated reasoning with multiscale physics-based battery models.
Key Responsibilities
- Research multiscale physics phenomena required in battery modeling.
- Data analytics for experimental battery design and testing.
- Identify key materials understanding that enable translation of existing models to new materials.
- Develop new reasoning models incorporating multiscale physics.
- Collaborate with the team on automated reasoning methods.
- Present findings within the team and to the greater group.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Multiscale physics modeling experience (e.g., COMSOL, GT-AutoLion, custom-built models).
- Battery electrochemical testing experience (e.g., Li-ion or Na-ion).
- Experience with standard material characterization techniques (x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, etc.).
- Published manuscripts and conference presentations pertaining to experimental or computational battery materials.
Qualifications
- Currently enrolled in a doctoral program in STEM subjects (chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline).
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience coding in python.
