PhD position summary/title: Doctoral Researcher in Microwave Engineering for Next-Generation Cellular Wireless
Cellular industry has been devoting significant efforts to enhance the fifth-generation (5G) cellular, aiming at 5G-advanced and sixth-generation (6G). One of the most distinguishing features of these next generation radios is improved service coverage AND higher data rates. However, coverage and data rate are actually trade-off metrics since the radio systems that try to offer abundant bandwidth for increasing data rates are also more prone to losses in signal power transmission over-the-air; this is the first technical challenge that we address during the doctoral study. The trade-off is pronounced for indoor users, particularly for those in low- and zero-energy buildings because the highly insulated air-tight building structures typically also block radio waves very effectively. Another distinguishing feature of the next generation cellular is the ability of privacy-respected sensing of surrounding environments and localization of targets by “re-using” the ambient radio communications signals. Environmental sensing and target localization of indoor users, aiming at efficient use of the energy and space and improved safety and security in the building, is typically realized by various types of cameras, but relying on optical cameras is associated with the risk of privacy violation; this is the second technical challenge to be tackled in the present doctoral thesis opportunity. The mentioned two challenges are addressed by developing indoor building elements that allow improved radio coverage for indoor users, as well as environmental sensing and target localization of indoor users. By installing many low-power indoor radio heads, connected to a base station, the proximity of the user to at least one of them ensures good signal coverage. Radio waves reach users with a smaller number of interactions with building structures, leading to smaller losses compared to the case of communicating with outdoor base stations. Furthermore, radio-based sensing and localization is inherently incapable of sensing privacy-related information of people, e.g., their physical appearance. Antenna-embedded building elements such as walls, windows, window or door frames, are therefore an attractive solution to achieve BOTH indoor radio coverage AND privacy-respecting sensing of environment and localization of targets.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in Hygrothermal Building Physics for Resilient Renovations
Climate change is introducing unprecedented challenges to the built environment. In the Nordics, warmer summers and frequent heatwaves present new risks of overheating in buildings that were not designed for these conditions. Additionally, extreme rainfall and changing humidity levels may accelerate the degradation of facades in existing structures. To ensure a sustainable future, our buildings must be resilient, healthy, comfortable, sustainable, and energy-efficient. Addressing these complex challenges requires an interdisciplinary approach and systemic solutions.
This PhD research project at the Department of Civil Engineering will examine how hygrothermal building physics can inform material-based renovation strategies to address these demands. This work might involve a collaboration with TalTech in Estonia, and other foreign institutions. Research activities may include experimental testing on building materials, on-site measurements in existing buildings, and numerical simulations. The role may also involve supporting Master’s thesis students in their research and contributing to funding proposals.
Deadline : 15.1.2025

About Aalto University, Finland –Official Website
Aalto University is a university located in Espoo, Finland. It was established in 2010 as a merger of three major Finnish universities: the Helsinki University of Technology (established 1849), the Helsinki School of Economics (established 1904), and the University of Art and Design Helsinki (established 1871). The close collaboration between the scientific, business and arts communities is intended to foster multi-disciplinary education and research. The Finnish government, in 2010, set out to create a university that fosters innovation, merging the three institutions into one.
The university is composed of six schools with close to 17,500 students and 4,000 staff members, making it Finland’s second largest university. The main campus of Aalto University is located in Otaniemi, Espoo. Aalto University Executive Education operates in the district of Töölö, Helsinki. In addition to the Greater Helsinki area, the university also operates its Bachelor’s Programme in International Business in Mikkeli and the Metsähovi Radio Observatory in Kirkkonummi.
Aalto University’s operations showcase Finland’s experiment in higher education. The Aalto Design Factory, Aalto Ventures Program and Aalto Entrepreneurship Society (Aaltoes), among others, drive the university’s mission for a radical shift towards multidisciplinary learning and have contributed substantially to the emergence of Helsinki as a hotbed for startups.Aaltoes is Europe’s largest and most active student run entrepreneurship community that has founded major concepts such as the Startup Sauna accelerator program and the Slush startup event.
The university is named in honour of Alvar Aalto, a prominent Finnish architect, designer and alumnus of the former Helsinki University of Technology, who was also instrumental in designing a large part of the university’s main campus in Otaniemi.
