1. Fully Funded PhD Position in map fusion and context-sensitive path planning
Summary of PhD Program:
As a developer for map fusion and context-sensitive path planning, your task will be to develop and implement algorithms that enable our robots to navigate efficiently and safely in complex outdoor environments. To do this, you will fuse the environmental data from different map representations and use it within the planning algorithm to generate robust and efficient paths. Our team is working on enhancing the cognitive capabilities of our robots for a reactive and sensitive interaction with their environments.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mathematics to improve resource efficiency
Summary of PhD Program:
In order to increase resource and energy efficiency in production, the Fraunhofer ITWM develops prediction models on the basis of which process optimisations are carried out. These models are calibrated by adapting model parameters to measurement data. The quality of this adjustment is a decisive factor for the quality of the prediction models. The quality of the fit depends not only on the measurement accuracy, but also on the design of the measurements.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mathematics to increase the resilience of production processes
Summary of PhD Program:
The simulation of production processes can make a decisive contribution to increasing energy and resource efficiency. When using simulations in practice, it must be taken into account that influencing variables such as energy and raw material prices are subject to stochastic fluctuations. To protect against such fluctuations, additional storage and buffers must be created, which lead to increased investment and operating costs.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Integration and characterization of ferroelectric memory devices
Summary of PhD Program:
As a PhD student you will work together with our team and industry partner to transfer these technologies into existing technology nodes. Since ferroelectricity in HfO2 occurs only in a metastable orthorhombic phase, whose stability range depends on a variety of parameters, such as layer thickness, dopant content and type, layer stresses and thermal post-treatment which need to be optimized. In this work, the dependence of these process parameters on the ferroelectric properties such as remanent polarization, cycle endurance and microvariability will be investigated and correlated with physical properties of the films such as composition and crystallographic phase.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Parameter identification for soil-tool interaction simulation
Summary of PhD Program:
The focus of this PhD project is the development, implementation and validation of an adequate automated parameterization algorithm for DEM-based soil simulation and soil-tool interaction. For this purpose, different soil mechanics laboratory tests will be investigated and analyzed with respect to their suitability for the parameterization of the soil-tool interaction, also for different physical contact laws. Based on this, different nonlinear optimization approaches will be implemented and analyzed with respect to accuracy, stability and performance. Thereby, the appropriate and problem-related choice of the optimization objective is a crucial aspect of the optimization procedure.
