DP.TUG.1: Flexible and Physics-Based Reduced Order Models

Project Goals

This project aims to develop fast, flexible, and physics-based reduced order models (ROMs) and multi-scale closures that deliver both precision and robust uncertainty quantification. We will integrate cutting-edge machine learning calibration workflows that enable the concurrent optimization of interconnected processes. The focus is on real-world applications in the battery sector, particularly on electrode production and recycling.
