The Department of Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering (MMAE) at the West Virginia University anticipates filling Ph.D. graduate research positions to investigate the design and system development of a solid‐oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and gas turbine hybrid energy systems. This work is in collaboration with the US Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Morgantown, WV, USA to further develop their cyber-physical system which permits dynamic operability studies of the fuel cell/turbine hybrid system. In addition, the researcher will assist in the electrical testing of actual SOFC cells and stacks to obtain operational and degradation data for inclusion into the system models. This appointment requires general knowledge in basic programming (such as Matlab/Simulink), mechanical design (AutoCAD, Solidworks, or Inventor), and controls would also be beneficial (but not required). Projects will require the candidate to work both independently and within a multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists.
If interested in the position, then contact Dr. Edward M. Sabolsky, via email at ed.sabolsky@mail.wvu.edu
The position will start the Summer 2024 semester; therefore, review of all applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled.
