The Chair for Digital Additive Production (DAP) at RWTH Aachen University collaborates with industrial and scientific partners to investigate the fundamental interrelationships of digital and additive manufacturing, transferring these findings to industrial applications. Our research encompasses a wide range of topics, from component design and process development to production and the application properties of additively manufactured components. Additionally, we focus on accompanying processes such as design, quality management, and the digital representation of the entire process chain. Our service portfolio is further enhanced by individual consulting and training services. Through industry projects, we work closely with partners from various sectors—including automotive, aerospace, turbomachinery, life sciences, machinery, tool making, and mold making—to develop and shape the future of digital and additive manufacturing. Furthermore, DAP offers extensive professional and personal development opportunities within a highly motivated team. Ihr Profil You hold an University degree (Master's degree or equivalent) in materials science, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, Computational Engineering Science (CES), physics, or an equivalent field of study and have a solid knowledge of and interest in materials modeling, mechanics of materials, and numerical simulation. Additional knowledge in programming (z.B. Python, C++, ...), material characterization, data analysis, or experience with further simulation methods is an asset. Furthermore, you are characterized by an independent and diligent work style and commitment. You are highly motivated to contribute your own ideas and play a significant role in shaping the future of additive manufacturing at DAP. Ihre Aufgaben You will be responsible for securing, coordinating, and executing diverse projects across digital and additive manufacturing domains. Specifically, you will advance the field by further developing a microscale model of metal plasticity, which enables the numerical simulation of dislocation plasticity—the primary mechanism driving mechanical deformation in metals. This model will simulate material behavior under thermal and thermo-mechanical loads during additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on composite coatings, in which a metallic matrix is combined with nonmetallic reinforcing particles. These coatings are crucial for reducing wear to extend component lifetime. The performance of these coatings is determined by matrix-particle interfaces, microscale deformation, and microstructural evolution during manufacturing. To gain a fundamental understanding of these physical mechanisms, you will create a microscale material model of additively manufactured metal matrix composites using experimentally informed dislocation plasticity simulations. Working with national and international partners, you will validate your simulations against experimental observations to identify key microscale deformation and damage characteristics and develop optimized material parameters.

Unser Profil The energy transition poses fundamental challenges for our power systems: large conventional power plants with synchronous generators are successively being replaced by small-scale renewable energy sources, which are typically interfaced via power electronics converters. This transformation drastically reduces the physical inertia within electrical power grids while simultaneously increasing the volatility of generation and consumption. In the future, these developments could aggravate grid instabilities and even cause large-scale blackouts. In this context, key research questions are as follows: How can the coupling of energy producers, consumers, and storage systems be optimized to efficiently meet local and global energy demands while ensuring the stable and reliable operation of low-inertia power systems? What control strategies, coordination mechanisms, and IT solutions are necessary to operate millions of decentralized power electronic devices within the power grid effectively? Could the existing paradigm of globally synchronized and centrally controlled power grids be replaced by novel, alternative working principles? At the Institute for Automation of Complex Power Systems at RWTH Aachen University, we are dedicated to addressing these visionary questions within the framework of the SAFEr Grid project, funded by the European Research Council with a Synergy Grant. The goal of the project is to explore an innovative architecture for future power systems characterized by an asynchronous notion and a store-and-forward principle for controlling energy flows within the grid. Instead of a synchronous, monolithic system, a decentralized and asynchronous network comprising autonomous, modular subgrids will be developed. These subgrids operate independently but can exchange energy with one another when needed—an approach inspired by the structure and features of the Internet. Join our interdisciplinary team and work with leading scientists in the fields of power systems, control systems, power electronics, communication technology and innovation management to research the fundamentals for a new era of power supply. Contribute to the development of innovative concepts and technologies that will not only make future power systems more reliable but also actively facilitate the success of the energy transition.
