5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Aerosol Technology 

Summary of PhD Program:

To create a sustainable society, we need to increase the circular use of materials, meaning that we need to utilise recycled materials and industrial side streams, replacing primary raw materials. At the same time, we must ensure that this industrial transition does not result in uncontrolled emissions. An untapped secondary resource with great potential is ash from waste incineration. During the incineration, energy is recovered through production of heat and electricity, and at the same time the amount of waste is reduced. Through various standardized and advanced techniques, we can gain a better understanding of both the ash itself and of the properties of the particles being emitted to the air during secondary use of the ash, with the aim of better understanding how we use the ash as a resource and minimize uncontrolled emissions and exposure of toxic substances.

7. 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.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in physical chemistry

Summary of PhD Program:

The current project focuses on proteins from plant seeds as promising opportunities to replace animal-derived food proteins with a more sustainable, healthy and affordable protein source. A central challenge is the physicochemical difference of seed proteins to typical animal proteins which require novel approaches to create comparable food properties. The overall research goal is the understanding of assembly processes of proteins as triggered by changes in temperature and chemical environment, including in particular the time-resolved monitoring of structure and dynamics during assembly.

Fully Funded PhD Position in Energy Sciences

Summary of PhD Program:

In an aircraft engine, jet fuel is burned in a gas turbine, which in turn propels the aircraft. Depending on the chemical composition of the fuel, the combustion will look different. In order to be able to use a wide range of fuels, which is becoming increasingly important, it will be essential to investigate whether we can improve the operation of the aircraft engine so that climate-neutral fuels can be used and that different fuels can be used without the need to modify the engine. The work of energy scientists within MYTHOS focuses on combustion chamber studies and optimization using numerical simulation methods to increase fuel flexibility so that SAF and hydrogen can be used in the same combustion chamber without this being adjusted.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in robotics

Summary of PhD Program:

We are now recruiting a PhD student to a project is devoted to Whole-Body Interactive Mobile Manipulation. For most mobile manipulators deployed in industrial floors and academic labs, the mobility of the platform and the manipulator are not treated in a whole-body fashion i.e., the mobile robot moves to specific positions while the manipulator is not moving and when the manipulator performs a contact or interaction task the platform remains still. The main objective of this project is to endow mobile manipulators with whole-body mobility and interaction functionalities using coordinated control of the mobile platform and the mounted robotic manipulator and address performance, reliability, and safety in dynamic environments.
