Master Thesis in Thermal Management

Construction, Engineering & Trades · Civil & Industrial Engineering · Mechanical Engineering

In short

This Master Thesis focuses on automating the generation and validation of standardized Simulink thermal-system models from 1D model information. The role involves developing a Python-based framework and methodology to improve development efficiency and model reuse within the automotive industry, based in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Responsibilities

  • Review current approaches to thermal-system modeling, model generation, and automation.
  • Analyze existing 1D and Simulink models to identify information for automated generation.
  • Define a standardized modeling methodology for structure, interfaces, and parameters.
  • Develop a Python-based framework for automated Simulink model generation and parameterization.
  • Develop automated verification and validation procedures.
  • Demonstrate and evaluate the methodology on representative thermal-management system configurations.
  • Compare the automated approach with conventional manual model development.

Requirements

  • Final-year master’s student in Mechanical, Automotive, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a related field.
  • Knowledge of thermodynamics and thermal-system modeling.
  • Experience with MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Programming skills, preferably in Python.
  • Analytical and structured problem-solving skills.
  • Fluent in English, written and spoken.

Desired Qualifications

  • Knowledge of GT-Suite is advantageous.

Benefits

  • Opportunity to work with next-gen technologies and collaborative teams.
  • Contribute to shaping sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions.
  • Work closely with a global team of experienced engineers and researchers.
  • Gain experience in thermal-system engineering.
