PhD Position: Molecular Thermodynamics and Transport Modeling for the Energy Transition

The Molecular Engineering Thermodynamics (MET) group at ETH Zurich is looking for a doctoral student to develop and improve computational tools for the molecular scale description of mass transport in membranes with an application to separation processes. The MET group at ETH Zurich, led by Philipp Rehner, is dedicated to linking rigorous physical molecular models to the design of sustainable processes in chemical engineering. To bridge the scale from molecules to processes, we apply state-of-the art mathematical concepts and tools combined with highly efficient computational methods. A particular focus is on the modeling of interfacial phenomena in process design applications. Our technological focus is on emerging technologies for the energy transition.
