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.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in mathematics

Summary of PhD Program:

This project is aimed at better understanding of so-called plurisubharmonic func-tions and their possible singularities. Plurisubharmonic functions appear in a natural way when studying holomorphic functions of several complex variables, and as solutions to a Dirichlet problem for the complex Monge-Ampère equation — an elliptic fully non-linear partial differential equation. In particular, we will study how different types of singularities for the boundary data affects the solutions to this Dirichlet problem. The idea is to attack this problem using a combination of mathematical theory and numerical analysis to do explicit computations. Depending on the candidate’s background and interests, the ratio of theory to computations can be adjusted. Contact person: Frank Wikström (frank.wikstrom@math.lth.se)

However, this is not always true for citizens placed in vulnerable situations (e.g., low-income, sudden death of loved ones, low digital literacy, illness) who are not always able to engage independently with digital technology. This project starts with the premise that administrative vulnerability is a new form of inequality, of particular relevance as public administration turns to increasing automation and AI-supported assessments and that it is an urgent problem that needs to be addressed.

Summary of PhD Program:

The main duties of doctoral students are to devote themselves to their research studies which includes participating in research projects and third cycle courses. The work duties will also include teaching and other departmental duties (no more than 20%). The activities of proteins in our cells are orchestrated to a large extent by chemical modifications catalyzed by specific signaling enzymes. A modification called ADP-ribosylation is catalyzed by 17 human PARP enzymes; bacterial toxin:antitoxin systems can contain toxins that catalyze the same modification of either proteins or nucleic acids. Both PARP enzymes and toxins are interesting from a pharmacological point of view. Despite rapid progress during the past decade, it is yet unclear how the ADP-ribosylating enzymes and toxins are regulated.

The biological function of many proteins is regulated by specific modifications of amino acid side chains. The modifications are often reversible and made in response to different types of cellular stress. Our research is focused on obtaining detailed knowledge of how specific posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins regulate protein function and change the properties of proteins. We study whether PTMs make proteins prone to aggregation or prevent them from misfolding, as a means to unravel the role of PTMs in amyloid formation associated with protein misfolding disease.

26. Fully Funded PhD Position in theoretical computer science and/or combinatorial optimization

Summary of PhD Program:

The MIAO research group has a unique profile in that we are doing cutting-edge research both on the mathematical foundations of efficient computation and on state-of-the-art practical algorithms for real-world problems. This creates a very special environment, where we do not only conduct in-depth research on different theoretical and applied topics, but where different lines of research cross-fertilise each other and unexpected and exciting synergies often arise.

Much of the activities of the group revolve around powerful algorithmic paradigms such as, e.g., Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solving, Gröbner basis computations, integer linear programming, and constraint programming. This leads to classical questions in computational complexity theory—though often with new, fascinating twists—but also involves work on devising clever algorithms that can exploit the power of such paradigms in practice.

This research project focuses on the use of novel “green” solvents to find more sustainable but cost-effective routes from feedstock to functional materials. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have recently emerged as promising replacements for toxic organic solvents but have high viscosities. Fluidising DES with liquid CO2 will reduce their viscosity but also change the solvent properties. This PhD will study the solvent structures and properties of DES + CO2 in two systems:

(1) sugar-based DES for lignin extraction, functionalisation and processing, and (2) halide-free DES for manufacture of catalytically active metal oxide nanoparticles. We will investigate solubility and solution states of lignin and metal species in novel DES+CO2 mixtures to develop anti-solvent precipitation routes to generate particles from these species dissolved in DES+CO2.

24. Fully Funded PhD Position in Synthetic Organometallic Chemistry

Summary of PhD Program:

Your main research objectives will fall within synthetic organometallic chemistry, and you will use transition metal complexes to tackle a variety of problems. You will synthesize reactive metal complexes, formulate suitable ligand designs for controlling their reactivity and electronic structure, and invent new methods for preparing small molecules that traditionally would be unstable and have only fleeting existence. Specific themes in your research could include, but are not limited to, N2 functionalization, azide synthesis, isolation of heavy-atom analogs of N2 such as NP and NAs, generation of molecules with phosphorus-based triple bonds, and small molecule activation.
