Evaluate and compare hardware-based pre-charge strategies for systems with floating HV connections.

- Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) and Their Impact on Stationary BMS

Analyze SDV architectures and assess how concepts like centralized computing and over-the-air updates influence stationary applications.

- Thermal Monitoring via Infrared Thermography

Investigate non-contact temperature measurement to improve current sensor accuracy (see separate description if needed).

- Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) with SysML

Apply MBSE methods to structure system functions, interfaces, and traceability in complex energy systems.

We are open to tailoring topics to your academic focus and interests, and welcome your own ideas.
