About TUMCREATE

TUMCREATE is a multidisciplinary research platform of the Technical University Munich (TUM) at the Singapore Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE). We are joining forces with universities, public agencies, and industry for the advancement of future technologies.

TUMCREATE is a core partner in the interdisciplinary Cooling Singapore 2.0 project - a collaboration between Singapore ETH Centre, SMU, TUMCREATE, SMART, CARES, and NUS. The project is dedicated to reducing the urban heat island effect and improving the outdoor thermal comfort in Singapore. The project aims to develop a Digital Urban Climate Twin (DUCT). This includes development of technical infrastructure (e.g., simulation-as-a-service middleware) and integration of a variety of computational models for anthropogenic heat emissions and urban climate simulations. The DUCT will feature a sophisticated user interface and multiple applications to support government agencies and planning authorities in assessing strategies for reducing urban heat in a holistic, systematic, and interactive manner. We are currently looking to enhance our team with an individual to take over modelling and simulation of energy systems, specifically buildings and transport, and the corresponding data analysis tasks.
