1. Fully Funded PhD Position in AI / Machine Learning – Reinforcement Learning
Summary of PhD Program:
This position revolves around the fundamental principles of AI and machine learning, with a specific emphasis on reinforcement learning. Machine learning encompasses a range of data-driven techniques that derive models for tasks such as prediction, exploratory data analysis, and explanation. The primary focus of this position is on reinforcement learning which examines the interactions between an agent and its environment, aiming to maximize cumulative rewards (to reach the goal as efficient as possible). Within this project, we will develop novel reinforcement learning methods considering aspects such as sample efficiency, robustness, efficient training and inference, multi-agent reinforcement learning, etc.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in neutron scattering studies of 2D hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites for energy applications
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project is focused on the investigation of organic cation dynamics in promising 2D HOIPs, with a view towards their application as white light emitting phosphors in phosphor-converted LEDs.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Marine Technology – Crashworthy Ship Structures
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD candidate will work on a research project to investigate barriers within regulations for ship design/construction and propose solutions for commercial ships if small modular reactors (SMR) are introduced. The SMRs must be located safely in the ship. The side-shell and bottom structures must, therefore, be protected against ship collision and grounding accidents. Different alternatives for crashworthy structure designs will be investigated and compared using the finite element (FE) method by simulation of ship-to-ship collision and grounding events. The results from the FE simulations will be assessed with respect to each structure’s structural integrity, focusing on energy absorption (accidental limit state) and contribution to the ship’s global strength (ultimate limit state). Optimization analysis may be performed for the most “promising” structure design.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position in Generative models for Inverse Molecular Design
Summary of PhD Program:
Inverse molecular design is the process of generating molecules with bespoke properties. Examples include a drug binding a specific biological target or an enzyme with high thermal stability. As such, inverse molecular design is a holy grail of chemical and biological engineering. However, the space of possible compounds or protein sequences is enormous, which excludes explicit screening or discriminative approaches. Here we seek to build a generative AI system that leverages multi-scalar and multi-modal data to generate compounds conditioned on their target properties. The selected candidate will join an interdisciplinary team in their efforts to target ion-channel proteins to modulate their function to a possible therapeutic effect.
