At the Center for Energy we are committed to creating cutting-edge solutions for tomorrow's transportation and energy challenges. Our key projects focus on the exciting world of future transportation systems, including e-mobility, energy consumption, and energy systems. We aim to understand and improve the impact of (e-)mobility on the energy system, helping to shape a sustainable future and contribute to the European Union’s climate goals.
As a PhD student for our team located in Vienna, you will have the unique opportunity to tailor your research topic based on your expertise, interests, and ongoing research. Your main goal will be to develop AI-based methods to create surrogate functions, speeding up evaluation processes during optimisation approaches. This work will directly contribute to the creation of a resilient and sustainable transport network and efficient electric vehicle charging management.
