1 Postdoc position Designing aqueous deep eutectic mixtures by data-integrated simulation
Stuttgart Center for Simulation Science (SC SimTech), University of Stuttgart

THE PROJECT
The goal of this specific project is to contribute to the development of a new generation of human-computer interfaces that pro-actively adapt to users’ future actions by predicting their interaction intentions. Specifically, the project will formulate and study intent prediction in a fully Bayesian framework. This approach will not only enable future interfaces to quantify and adapt to the inherent uncertainty of the intent predictions themselves, but will also leverage this information to improve subsequent predictions of users’ actions.

 

YOUR TASKS
• Follow best practices in sustainable software development and apply and further develop a scalable workflow environment to perform large-scale simulations on a HPC infrastructure
• Follow the F.A.I.R. data principles and systematically compare thermophysical properties obtained from simulations to published experimental data by using ThermoML
• Use the simulation results for machine learning and for improving the force fields of the compounds in the complex mixtures.
• Design novel deep eutectic solvents and validate the predictions in collaboration with our experimental project partners
• Contribute to the teaching activities of the host group

The position is fully funded (100%) and is available to applicants of any nationality. You will contribute to the leadership of ongoing projects, will have the opportunity to advise undergraduate and graduate students, and contribute to the teaching activities of the group.
