We work in the Molecular Thermodynamics research group on various topics related to the development of new methods as well as their applications in technical systems. We have several open topics and positions. If interested, please contact Simon Stephan.

Open PhD Topics:

• Thermodynamics of tribological contacts
• Molecular thermodynamics of electrolyte systems
• Modeling and simulation of transport properties

Open Positions for Student Assistants:

• Conducting and analyzing molecular simulations
• Programming tasks for the implementation of molecular models

Student Projects: (Theses, Research Projects, etc.)

• Measurement and modeling of viscosity and density under extreme pressures
• Modeling and simulation of material properties of lubricants under extreme pressures
• Investigation of the consistency behavior of molecular models under extreme conditions
• Molecular modeling and simulation of electrolyte solutions
• Machine learning for the prediction of material properties in thermodynamic modeling
• Coupling and application of thermodynamic models in multiscale simulations
• Modeling and simulation of transport properties of fluids
