1. Fully Funded PhD Position in scientific computing focusing on earthquake modeling
Summary of PhD Program:
The topic of this project is modeling and simulation of earthquakes. All earthquake models contain partially unknown parameters, such as seismic wave speeds and frictional parameters on a fault. Since direct measurements of these parameters remain infeasible, we have to use seismometer data and other indirect measurements to constrain the parameters. This inverse problem is the main focus of the project. In close collaboration with geophysicists at Stanford University, we have recently developed a framework to invert for frictional parameters. The project goals are to extend the framework to different kinds of geophysical data and to implement the new methods in efficient software to facilitate earthquake simulations of with realistic physics and complex fault geometries in 3D.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Solid State Physics
Summary of PhD Program:
Permanent magnets are key elements in many of today’s technologies for energy conversion. The most powerful permanent magnets are based on rare earth metals, which are classified as both rare and strategic, meaning both scarcity and high price. In this project, we develop sustainable magnets using new synthesis methods and establish their utility through detailed magnetic measurements. The synthesis includes nanocomposites and metal alloys free from, or with a very small content of, rare earth metals. One goal of the project is to experimentally realize new alloys and compounds that, from calculations, are predicted to have high performance as permanent magnets.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Biophysics with a focus on ultrafast imaging with X-ray lasers
Summary of PhD Program:
Conformational dynamics are crucial for the functioning of most macromolecules and a deeper understanding of these motions holds great promise for future discoveries in biology. But it is difficult to probe the structure of macromolecules away from their most stable conformations, and time-resolved studies remain limited by the available techniques. Since the first X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) were proposed, the idea of obtaining images of individual proteins frozen in time has fascinated and inspired many, and we have been at the forefront of this quest. The combination of advances in XFEL technology with new instrumentation has brought the dream of imaging hydrated single proteins by X-ray diffraction within reach. The overall aim of this PhD project is to develop the science and technology to help make ultrafast single-protein imaging a reality, by (a) developing diagnostics suitable for nanosized samples, (b) design and build new sample delivery instrumentation to enable single protein X-ray diffraction experiments, (c) perform and analyse time-resolved single protein imaging experiments. The project combines experimental with computational work.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computing Science focusing on Automated Verification of Numerical Code
Summary of PhD Program:
Numerical software is widely used to model, simulate, predict and make decisions in applications across different domains such as data analysis, weather forecasting, physics, or engineering. Ensuring that such software is correct is important, but non-trivial. One approach to do so is to employ rigorous automated verification that proves at compile-time that a program computes for all valid inputs what it is expected to. However, automated verification of numerical programs over finite-precision (e.g. floating-point) numbers is currently limited. Finite precision introduces rounding errors w.r.t. an ideal, real-valued specification and poses unique challenges for verification of program accuracy and other kinds of desirable properties.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Scientific Computing
Summary of PhD Program:
Multiscale problems are encountered in many different applications. For instance, when physical behavior like heat diffusion is modeled in a composite material. Typical for these problems is the rapid variation in the material properties throughout the domain, which results in partial differential equations with rough and discontinuous coefficients. It is well known that classical finite element methods do not perform very well for this kind of problems. To overcome this issue there exist a range of different methods, one of them is Localized Orthogonal Decomposition. This method focuses on enhancing the classical finite elements by using data from the problem.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in secure operation of power systems at the division of Electricity
Summary of PhD Program:
As a doctoral candidate, you will play an active role in shaping the project together with your supervisors. This provides you with a unique opportunity to influence its direction and focus within the realm of secure operation in the electric power systems. This could involve developing control systems to dynamically adjust the operation and configuration of the electrical system based on changing conditions such as the proportion of renewable production, power flows, weather conditions, and network faults. Another direction could be the utilization of HVDC (High-Voltage Direct Current) interconnectors or other flexible components to more efficiently manage large amounts of renewable production. Flexible components enable faster and more precise control of transmission capacity, as well as better adaptation to changing operational conditions, thereby reducing the risk of overloads and outages.
