Job Description

The National University of Singapore is seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow to work on fire suppression modelling for lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles (EVs). The successful candidate will focus on developing advanced computational models to understand and mitigate thermal runaway, fire propagation, and suppression strategies in battery packs and EV systems. The work will involve close collaboration with experimental teams from partner institutes to validate models and translate research into practical fire safety solutions.

Responsibilities :

• Develop and implement computational models (CFD and fire dynamics) for fire suppression in battery modules and EVs (cars and buses).
• Simulate thermal runaway, gas release, flame spread, suppression agent dispersion, and cooling mechanisms.
• Collaborate with external experimental groups to design tests and integrate modelling with experimental data.
• Publish research findings in high-impact journals and present at conferences.
• Contribute to project management, student mentoring, and preparation of research proposals and reports.
