Research at the Institute of Energy Technologies – Theory and Computation of Energy Materials (IET-3) combines theoretical physics, computer simulations, and physical modeling to study how energy materials form, function, fade, and fail. We employ theory and computation to close gaps in understanding structural and mechanistic phenomena in materials, discover or develop physical relations between structure, properties, and performance of complex multifunctional components, and enable the model-based diagnosis and optimization of electrochemical devices. Furthermore, we orchestrate modeling and data analytics with artificial intelligence to accelerate the materials workflow. Further information can be found at https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/iet/iet-3.

The effective utilization of the newly installed first Exascale computer in Europe, called JUPITER, soon to be online at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, asks for a high level of preparedness as it represents a paradigm change in the way supercomputing resources are employed in atomistic simulations.
The individual to be hired for this position will fulfill a crucial role in enabling game-changing energy materials research along two crucial directions of atomistic simulations:
The JUPITER Exascale infrastructure at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH will be used by members of the IET-3 institute to investigate stable structural arrangements and phase transitions in multi-compound materials, understand structure formation in complex systems (such as water-filled polymer electrolyte membranes and interfaces comprising metal electrodes, liquid electrolyte and ionomer films), unravel the local reaction environment at highly realistic electrochemical interfaces, decipher multistep reaction mechanisms in electrocatalysis, and more. Workflows specifically adapted for these simulations will be developed, tested, optimized, and deployed. Exascale infrastructure will be utilized for large-scale calculations to re-train and fine-tune robust LLM-based models, enabling the next generation of data management models in the energy materials domain.
