Postdoc position on “Digital Twin Technologies for EV batteries”
The Faculty of EEMCS together with ET at the University of Twente is hiring a Postdoctoral fellow to join a multidisciplinary research team working on multi-physical models and digital twins for battery systems. The position is embedded in the context of the HORIZON EU project “FreeTwinEV”, in collaboration with Slovak University of Technology (STU) and Linz Centre of Mechatronics.
As a Postdoctoral Fellow, you will play a key role in this project. You will be the solution architect, responsible for:
- System definition and modeling: Define the EV battery system architecture and develop high-fidelity multi-physics models suitable for digital twin application.
- Digital twin development: Implement the digital twin framework, including data integration, model development, communication protocols, and validation.
- State estimation and control: implement advanced methods for estimating battery internal states and temperature distribution using the digital twin for optimized battery performance and lifespan
- Collaboration: Work closely with PhD students on battery-related research and contribute to scientific publications and presentations.

About the department
The Power Electronics and EMC is a multidisciplinary group that investigates various aspects of energy conversion systems, including
Battery Electronics, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Energy Access, Smart Grids, Power Electronics Technology, and Power and Energy Measurement Systems. It poses excellent laboratory facilities for performing advanced battery characterization, performance testing and next-gen BMS development. The systems engineering and multidisciplinary design group (SEMD) investigates designing in the field of multidisciplinary systems and researchs the role of Systems Engineering (SE) as an integrative discipline next to the traditional engineering fields. Currently, SEMD performs research in Electric and Smart Mobility, Energy Transition, High-Tech systems, System-based Digital Twins, Rehabilitation, and Footwear.
About the organisation
The faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) uses mathematics, electronics and computer technology to contribute to the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). With ICT present in almost every device and product we use nowadays, we embrace our role as contributors to a broad range of societal activities and as pioneers of tomorrow's digital society. As part of a people-first tech university that aims to shape society, individuals and connections, our faculty works together intensively with industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad, and conducts extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders. Our research has a high profile both in the Netherlands and internationally. It has been accommodated in three multidisciplinary UT research institutes: Mesa+ Institute, TechMed Centre and Digital Society Institute.
