Hybrid Physico-Data Framework for Predictive Modeling of PEM Fuel Cells

This project aims to develop computationally efficient and reliable computer models to help design longer-lasting hydrogen fuel cells. We combine our physical understanding of how these devices work with modern artificial intelligence tools to predict performance losses and lifetime under realistic operating conditions. During the internship, I will work with Prof. Marc Secanell’s Energy Systems Design Laboratory at the University of Alberta and my home institute at Forschungszentrum Jülich/RWTH Aachen to link their advanced electrochemical models with new machine-learning approaches. The collaboration will create practical modelling tools that can be used by researchers and industry partners, strengthen long-term cooperation between Canada and Germany in clean energy, and provide specialized training at the interface of engineering, materials science, and AI.
