Excellent concert yesterday in Vienna of the NIN Peel it back tour 2025.
Vienna concert
IFBF Vienna 2025 Meetings
Met a good old friend again. Sascha Berthold and I started laboratory work at Fraunhofer Gesellschaft on Flow Batteries in 2007 in the Fraunhofer internal project “MaVo AES”. Sascha is co-founder of Volterion and Redox One and now working with FlexBase.
Successful start to test operation at Fraunhofer ICT: renewable energy stored in a large-scale battery is introduced into the power grid on demand.
Europe’s largest vanadium redox flow battery – located at the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology – has achieved an important research milestone: In a controlled test, it was possible to successfully demonstrate for the first time how renewable energies such as wind and solar power can be fed into the power grid in a targeted and predictable manner, regardless of current weather conditions.
Position for two doctoral theses on modeling and simulation of redox flow batteries at the ZHAW / Switzerland
We have two open positions at ZHAW (Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften) starting in spring, 2025. The PhD positions are part of the European funded doctoral network project for high-throughput screening, synthesis and characterization of active materials for flow batteries (PREDICTOR).
More information on the open positions are provided in the official job adverts:
– PhD in Cell-scale modelling for high-throughput screening: https://www.zhaw.ch/en/jobs/vacant-positions/job-details/job/detail/3527954
– PhD in Electrochemical double layer and meso-scale modelling: https://www.zhaw.ch/en/jobs/vacant-positions/job-details/job/detail/3532315
