Research Fellow (Dynamic Simulation Models)

About TUMCREATE

TUMCREATE is a multidisciplinary research platform of the Technical University Munich (TUM) at the Singapore Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE). We are joining forces with universities, public agencies, and industry for the advancement of future technologies.

A new project “Singapore’s Pathway to Carbon Neutrality: Analysis of new Technologies” between TUMCREATE and NTU has been established. The aim of the project is to identify the best options for Singapore’s energy supply in order to reach carbon neutrality and to analyse how Singapore can maintain its position as a global fuel hub. Several models will be developed to identify different possible pathways.

These models include various dynamic simulation models including carbon capture, transport and storage options to be developed by the candidate.
