A predictive cabin conditioning strategy for battery electric vehicles

Patrick Schutzeich
Thermodynamics of Mobile Energy Conversion Systems (tme), RWTH Aachen University
Germany

Patrick Schutzeich (born Manns) studied mechanical engineering at the RWTH Aachen University (Germany). The topic of thermal management and cabin air conditioning accompanied him early on in his studies. After completing his master's degree in automotive engineering and transport at RWTH Aachen, he worked for one year as a project engineer at FEV Europe GmbH. At the beginning of 2019, he moved to RWTH Aachen University as a research assistant and has since been pursuing his PhD in predictive thermal management for electric vehicles. The focus of his research is on cabin and battery conditioning.
