1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Flexibility Characterization and its use for Grid and Balancing Services
Summary of PhD Program:
In your PhD project entitled “Flexibility characterization for living-labs and its use for grid and balancing services” you will use data-driven methods to characterize demand-side flexibility using a set of coupled stochastics differential equations or data-driven digital twins, which leads to the Flexibility Functions for a cluster of end-users. You will also be study how the flexibility can be used for grid and balancing services, with a focus on flexibility in low voltage areas. As an important example we will study how flexibility can be used to provide dynamic transformer rating. This includes optimal use of batteries in distribution grids.
Application Deadline: 31 October 2024

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sustainable Hybrid Work
Summary of PhD Program:
Implementation of flexible and hybrid work not only has consequences for the organization and management of work but also for family and housing conditions, for local communities and cities, and for transport patterns and, thus, climate. Regarding climate and impact, organizations are increasingly being asked to provide documentation on how their activities impact the climate and demonstrate their commitment to environmental sustainability. At the same time, not all jobs can be carried out from different locations. Thus, hybrid work may create organizational challenges and work practices but also demands new decisions and strategies. Together, this makes the implementation of hybrid work in workplaces very complex, with far-reaching consequences for individuals, society, and the environment.
Application Deadline: 31 October 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sustainability in Microchip Production
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will critically review state of art in sustainability assessment of microfabrication as well as possible implications e.g. towards pharmaceutical production. The lack of high purity chemical sustainability information will be addressed, with the aim to provide methods to enable estimating these essential values. Finally, the project will also create practical ways that cleanroom fabrication can be assessed by creating an online cleanroom fabrication sustainability calculator and work to engage international networks.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Algebraic Function Fields and Coding Theory
Summary of PhD Program:
The project CREATE aims to investigate the full potential of algebraic curves and algebraic function field techniques in relation with two very important applications: network communication (rank-metric codes) and distributed cloud storage (locally recoverable codes). To investigate this potential, theoretical results about function fields with many rational places and automorphisms are necessary. The purpose of the PhD position is to construct and classify maximal function fields (particularly introducing the invariant a-number as a parameter to distinguish function fields) and function fields with many automorphisms.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physics-informed Deep Learning for Automated Analysis of Energy Materials
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD is part of the IMITATION (Image interpretation by taught simulation) project that explores the interplay between physics-based simulations and deep learning.

However, the analysis of the collected data is still largely performed with classical methods that rely heavily on human inputs. These methods are time-consuming and error-prone, limiting the accuracy of the quantifications and predictions of materials’ properties and performance.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biomaterials-based Approach for the Creation of Artificial Red Blood Cells
Summary of PhD Program:
Blood is crucial for our survival and the only way to substitute for blood loss occurring during accidents or surgery is by using blood from donors. However, blood transfusions have some limitations and risks: before blood can be transfused, there is a need for typing and matching due to the different blood groups causing fatal delays in emergency situations. Also, blood has a short storage lifetime, which makes it impossible to create large blood supplies to be used in acute disasters such as earthquakes or plane accidents. Furthermore, blood transfusions can help spreading new viral infections, like it happened with HIV in the 80s. Thus, developing a new oxygen-carrier solution for use when red blood cells are neither an option or available persists as one of the foremost important challenges in biomedicine.
Application Deadline: 3 November 2024
