Master's Thesis Student: Ontology-Enabled Digital Process Development in Modular Stirred Tank Units | MSc thesis: Ontology-Enabled Digital Process Development in Modular Stirred Tank Units (all genders)

Job Summary

This position offers a unique opportunity to conduct a Master's thesis at the intersection of process engineering and digital information systems. Working within the Electronics division, the student will focus on developing digital solutions for modular plants, specifically targeting a 2-liter stirred tank unit used for reactions, distillation, and crystallization. The core of the role involves utilizing standards-based ontological descriptions and knowledge graphs to facilitate faster, more reliable process transfers between equipment instances. You will explore how existing frameworks like MTP, ISA-88, and DEXPI can be integrated to describe the process development ecosystem. This role is ideal for a forward-thinking student interested in semantic relationships, equipment topology, and the digitalization of chemical processes. It provides a professional environment to apply academic knowledge to real-world industrial challenges in collaboration with TU Dresden.
