Student (m/f/d) for Modelling an Air Transport System
Activities and responsibilities
Bauhaus Luftfahrt e.V. and the TUM Chair of Aircraft Design are working on an integrated toolchain for assessing aviation’s fleet development, mission scenarios and technology uptake. You, as a research assistant, support us with the following:
- You will combine and extend functionality of the mission and the fleet module, e.g. by offering a range of optimisation options and direct operating costs when allocating aircraft to routes, or by adapting climate impact calculations to new aircraft types
- You create a data pipeline from a range of helper scripts for pre- and post-processing, to make the model accessible to a wider range of users
- By introducing new interfaces or classes, for example, you increase the model’s flexibility
- All other vital tasks of software development such as code refactoring, testing and documentation
