5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Local Self-Supervision for Closed-Loop Visual Reasoning

Summary of PhD Program:

The institutes PGI-15 and INM-6 have a common aim to understand brain function from a computa-tional point of view, and use this knowledge to create new technologies.

This project aims to combine local learning and neuro-morphic computing to achieve energy efficient networks that can reason in complex environments. You will work on layer-local self-supervised learning rules in context-modulated network architec-tures. We will test these learning rules in a brain-inspired multitask setting, where a single network should learn to solve large numbers of tasks in a context-dependent manner. We will then embed the networks in a closed-loop visual reasoning architecture. The resulting system will be imple-mented on neuromorphic hardware, such as memristive crossbar arrays and/or Intel Loihi.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in An Organoid Co-Culture System as a Model for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Summary of PhD Program:

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is driven by diffuse astroglial and neuronal injury followed by secondary injury cascades of cellular toxicity, inflammation, and aggregation of toxic proteins. However, the complex interplay of glial cells remains to be elucidated in both trauma and regeneration. Our current mechanistic understanding of TBI in in vitro models has been primarily derived from two-dimensional models. Nevertheless, the in vivo situation is much more complex and warrants 3D impact platforms, addressing the spatiotemporal details of cellular injury strains on human interconnected neuronal-astroglial networks. Using 3D brain organoids incorporating microglia (INM-3) combined with fast forming, simplified neural co-culture systems (IBI-2), the doctoral researcher will use both systems to apply defined strain and compression signals simulating TBI.

24. Fully Funded PhD Position in Assessment of an innovative process chain for green hydrogen and methanol provision

Summary of PhD Program:

The use of green hydrogen in certain industry sectors (e.g., chemical industry or in steelmaking) is without an alternative to reach greenhouse gas neutrality. Besides of the availability of huge amounts of renewable energy the presence of water has an essential impact on the ‘green hydrogen’ potential especially in dry regions like western Africa. The transformation from hydrogen to methanol can be advantageous because of its better storage and transportation characteristics under ambient conditions. In the realm of this PhD position the techno-economic potential of an innovative process route for green hydrogen and methanol provision is going to be assessed. The process route is innovative as the needed water is adsorbed from the ambient air and this way important local ground water resources can be saved.

Since the qubits are extremely sensitive to disturbances and operate in temperatures down to a few hundred millikelvins, the requirements on power consumption, noise and area are severe. For this reason, it is necessary to develop new and groundbreaking architectures and circuit topologies. Modeling electronics and their interfaces to qubits in this challenging environment is an essential part of this.

One of the open challenges to understand is why and when dislocations show scale-free avalanche behaviour, and whether these events can be predicted. To this end, dislocation simulation tools have to be developed and applied, combined with various methods from the field of data science.

22. Fully Funded PhD Position in Assessment of an innovative process chain for green hydrogen and methanol provision

Summary of PhD Program:

The use of green hydrogen in certain industry sectors (e.g., chemical industry or in steelmaking) is without an alternative to reach greenhouse gas neutrality. Besides of the availability of huge amounts of renewable energy the presence of water has an essential impact on the ‘green hydrogen’ potential especially in dry regions like western Africa. The transformation from hydrogen to methanol can be advantageous because of its better storage and transportation characteristics under ambient conditions. In the realm of this PhD position the techno-economic potential of an innovative process route for green hydrogen and methanol provision is going to be assessed. The process route is innovative as the needed water is adsorbed from the ambient air and this way important local ground water resources can be saved.

24. Fully Funded PhD Position in Electronic system design and modeling for qubit initialization and readout in a scalable quantum architecture

Summary of PhD Program:

To make the vision of a universal quantum computer reality, we are working on scalable electronic architectures based on semiconductor spin quantum bits (qubits). For ultimately scaling up the number of qubits into the millions, it is crucial to move parts of the control electronics closer to the qubits. To achieve this, we design and implement integrated cryogenic circuits for qubit control and readout in state-of-the-art CMOS technologies. Since the qubits are extremely sensitive to disturbances and operate in temperatures down to a few hundred millikelvins, the requirements on power consumption, noise and area are severe. For this reason, it is necessary to develop new and groundbreaking architectures and circuit topologies. Modeling electronics and their interfaces to qubits in this challenging environment is an essential part of this.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Organic and Perovskite solar cells

Summary of PhD Program:

Organic and perovskite solar cells are among the emerging photovoltaic technologies that can contribute to the energy transition in the near future. Compared to silicon devices, these solution-processed solar cells are cost-effective and environmentally friendly, and they allow novel applications thanks to their flexibility and partial transparency. However, the efficiency and lifetime of these solar cells still need to be improved. In addition to materials development, it is known that the fabrication process plays a decisive role in their performance. Therefore, one of the challenges for further optimization is to rationalize the effects of processing conditions on the subtle nanomorphology formed during the production of the photoactive layers. The aim of the project is to understand the relationship between the fabrication process and the resulting structures based on the fundamental physical and material properties. This theoretical work makes use of a novel, worldwide unique phase field simulation method.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Development of electrospun separators for Aluminum-Ion batteries

Summary of PhD Program:

The success of the energy transition is heavily dependent on innovative and efficient electrochemical energy storage systems. Currently, Li-ion is the most promising energy-storage technology. However, in view of the limited lithium and cobalt availability and their unpredictable price development, it is very challenging to cover the (stationary) storage segment with Li-based technology alone. Inexpensive batteries with a long service life, abundantly available and easily recyclable electrode materials such as aluminum and graphite are promising to make a significant contribution in the growing market segment of stationary storage devices. Due to the ecological harmlessness and the low costs for aluminum, graphite and other cell components, AI-ion battery technology is predestined for stationary applications in particular.
