The Laboratory of Integrated Comfort Engineering (ICE)at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)is seeking an exceptionally driven and skilled Ph.D. candidate to contribute to cutting-edge research on personalized thermal comfort systems and their contribution to energy reduction in buildings. This position is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation and involves collaboration with Empa (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology).
The objective of the research is to experimentally and computationally characterize the effectiveness of personal thermal comfort systems via a detailed analysis of heat transfer between the comfort systems and the human body (a thermal manikin at the first phase, and actual humans at the second phase). In addition, the research will determine the possible contribution of personal comfort systems toward the reduction of building energy use via extensive building energy simulations.
The successful candidate will join the Smart Living Lab (SLL) in Fribourg, Switzerland, which encompasses the ICE lab. SLL is an inter-institutional research and development center dedicated to the well-being of users, energy efficiency, and the digital transformation of the built environment. Excellence and the background relevant to the position will be the main points of consideration once the immigration regulations of the Canton of Fribourg are met.
