Summary of PhD Program:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

There is a current opening for a doctoral project that would work at the intersection of statistical physics, neural network hardware in neuromorphic systems, and computer science. The project area is to tackle a large class of important computational problems that still challenge science and technology: NP hard problems in combinatorial optimization, which includes scheduling, routing, and many resource allocation problems. The approach will be to combine insights from statistical physics in understanding hardness of such problems and the dynamics of solvers, with biologically-inspired computational hardware approaches to build more energy-efficient physical systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. <\/strong><\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in Local Self-Supervision for Closed-Loop Visual Reasoning<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

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. Despite the success of recent AI models, the brain is still unparalleled in its ability to adapt to complex environments, and does so in a highly energy-efficient manner. 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. <\/strong><\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in Lattice Damage by Hydrogen at Sub-Threshold Ion Energies<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Hydrogen (H), the most prospective carbon-neutral energy carrier, is a ubiquitous impurity in crystalline solids exhibiting many unique properties upon interactions with lattice atoms and\/or crystal defects. One such unique property is the unexpected formation of lattice damage and in turn H-supersaturated surface layers (HSSL) in metals exposed to H plasma\/ion irradiation with sub-threshold ion energies. Sophisticated experimental design and advanced techniques are available to \u2018see\u2019 H retained at defect microstructures in the nanometer-thick HSSL and to further explore its formation mechanism, microstructure evolution process, including but not limited to transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) and atom probe tomography (APT). The project will be jointly supervised by experts from the Institute of Energy & Climate Research (IEK-4: Plasma Physics) and the Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons (ER-C-2: Materials Science and Technology).<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Surfaces are crucial for the functional properties of a wide variety of materials. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is often the best and sometimes the only suitable method to provide structural information about disordered surfaces and surface functionalization. To approach the sensitivity and selectivity limitations of standard NMR, an electrochemistry and a structural biology institute join forces in order to develop and apply surface-selective dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) NMR techniques, targeting amyloid fibrils and battery interfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. <\/strong><\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in An Organoid Co-Culture System as a Model for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

The generation of excess heat is a major bottleneck of semiconductor-based electronics, ranging from small scale wearable applications up to large supercomputers. In turn, by developing suitable on-chip and CMOS compatible thermoelectric technologies, not only internet-of-things applications like wearables could be operated by the body temperature alone, but also a significant contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions caused by computing could be made by energy reutilization at operating temperatures below 100\u00b0C. The objective is to enable SiGeSn as a novel Si-compatible thermoelectric material able to operate at room or body temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n
