1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Electrical Engineering with focus on Federated Learning on IoT
Summary of PhD Program:
Machine learning and artificial intelligence have attracted a lot of attention over the past few decades. Machine learning algorithms have been considered in many application domains, including Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The adoption of machine learning in IoT systems creates several new opportunities, e.g., detection of health abnormalities using wearable devices, but also involves several major challenges, e.g., complexity of federated and decentralized machine learning algorithms for IoT systems and privacy concerns related to personal data and machine learning.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in sedimentary geochemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The emergence of calcifying plankton in the oceans shifted the major carbonate production from the shallow seas to the open marine realm with large consequences on the carbonate saturation of the oceans and their buffering capacities. Evolution of the key organisms occurred during the Late Triassic. At the same time, the supercontinent Pangea started to break up, with large-scale tectonic reorganizations and significant changes in weathering and nutrient enrichment with major implications for marine biogeochemical cycles. Our understanding of the causes and effects of all these changes is still limited. This project intends to explore the hypothesized link between the changes in seawater chemistry, their causes and the emergence of planktonic calcification.

Summary of PhD Program:
The Department of Psychology co-finances a doctoral position with FORTE within the project: Improved assessment of depression and anxiety in children and young people using natural language. How a person expresses their state of mind with language represents rich information.
