YOUR TASKS

Are you passionate about automotive innovation and simulation technologies? Join our R&D team to explore the physics and behavior of fogging and defogging in vehicle headlamps. This thesis will involve advanced modeling, simulation techniques, and validation strategies to improve visibility and safety in real-world conditions. Your tasks include:

• Method Development: You will develop and validate methodologies for condensation, evaporation, and droplet formation
• Simulation & Analysis: You will simulate and analyze water vapor condensation on anti-fog surfaces.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: You will work closely with experts from the thermal management and coating departments.
• Thesis Opportunity: Ideally, you will combine this internship with a subsequent Master's thesis to explore the topic in greater depth.
