Fraunhofer Research Institution for Battery Cell Production FFB From research to practice: Battery Thesis Hub opens up opportunities for master's students
The Fraunhofer Research Institution for Battery Cell Production FFB, Northvolt, RWTH Aachen University and Chalmers University of Technology are inviting applications for a new international cooperation project for master's students. Starting in January 2025, students will have the opportunity to work on digitised battery production together with the European research sites as part of their final thesis. The project combines input from Northvolt and Fraunhofer FFB and allows students to shape the future of battery manufacturing.
Collaboration with leading research institutes and universities
The focus of the joint initiative is to analyse and further improve the potential of data to optimise the maintenance of gigafactories using modern technologies such as big data, machine learning, and cloud architectures. Topics such as machine monitoring, remote inspection, and digital documentation will play a central role. The students work closely with the Fraunhofer FFB and Northvolt teams and exchange ideas with master students from Chalmers University of Technology and RWTH Aachen University. The students can provide valuable insights into how to optimize the maintenance of battery factories, and apply and validate these insights directly in the Fraunhofer "FFB PreFab".
