4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Data driven design optimization and control of wind power plants
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project is at the intersection of data science, optimization and control, all with applications to wind energy science. Cost efficient wind power plant development implies design and operational optimization. In design phase, one of the crucial tasks is finding the optimal layout, i.e. wind turbine locations, such that the energy production is maximized. While significant research has been done in this area, most approaches involve heuristics/metaheuristics and numerical optimization methods. Very little attention has so far been given to using AI approaches for the layout optimization of wind power plants.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Measurement Methods, Reliability, and Uncertainty in Acoustic-Mechanical Microsystems
Summary of PhD Program:
Smart hearables broadly comprise any audio system that is capable of capturing, processing, and reproducing sound and is placed in, near, or over the user’s ears. The small millimetre and sub-millimetre scale of these devices and their components provides many practical challenges to accurately measure sound and vibration. A number of common measurement techniques exist but are generally customized to a specific part or system. No common standards exist for experimental aspects such as handling, mounting, and fixing, sealing, or selection of measurement locations. This leads to a high variability and uncertainty in measurement results, especially when comparing different procedures, locations, parts, and designs.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in digitalization of polymer-based battery electrolyte development
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work on a project to design fluorinated polymers prepared through light-induced polymerization. The design space for finding the optimal composition and synthesis conditions for polymer electrolytes is too vast to explore manually. Therefore, we are combining self-driving labs, high-throughput atomic scale simulations, and AI to transition to digitalization-based automation of electrolyte development. The immediate goal is to create and utilize digital twins to develop high-performing polymer electrolytes for Mg-ion batteries (i.e., high ionic conductivity, coulombic efficiency, and cyclability at a low cost). However, we expect the gained know-how and infrastructure to be transferred to other battery chemistries and power-to-X applications.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in cormorant and seal predation
Summary of PhD Program:
The natural mortality – i.e. the mortality that takes place due to predation, lack of oxygen, old age or disease – is generally of decisive importance for the size of fish populations in the sea. Despite the critical role natural mortality plays in understanding the dynamics of fish populations, and thus of management, knowledge about this is still lacking. It is now important to obtain precise knowledge about which factors cause natural mortality to a particular extent. Increasing populations of cormorants and seals in particular lead to an increasing loss of fish, but at population level there is still no overview of the importance of these predators’ consumption for the fish stocks in inner Danish waters.
In this project, we gather the existing expertise on cormorants and seals (including knowledge of food choices and estimates of the number of predators), after which we make an analysis of the significance of predation in inland Danish waters for fishing and the general status of fish stocks. The inner Danish waters are defined here as the western Baltic Sea (west of Bornholm), the Belt Sea and the Kattegat.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in computational kinetic modelling of human glycolysis
Summary of PhD Program:
The metabolism of glucose to pyruvate, glycolysis, is seen in most organisms including humans and taught in all introductory biochemistry courses. Despite its importance, we have yet to make a precise kinetic model capturing a detailed understanding of the underlying regulatory structure. Constructing a mechanistic model of human glycolysis will pave the way for further development of targeted medicines and strain engineering of biopharmaceutical cell factories. Thanks to recent advances in computational and analytical biology, it is now possible to reconcile mechanistic models of cell metabolism with information from quantitative multiomics experiments. In this study, we will explore human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells.
