PhD position summary/title: Doctoral Researcher, developing hydrogen electrode to meet the circular economy principles
The number electrolysers for hydrogen generation are expected to increase drastically as industry, energy and traffic sectors strive to cut emissions. Yet, electrolysers fabrication requires utilization of non-renewable minerals, e.g. platinum group metals for polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyser (PEMEL) electrodes to catalyse the reactions. Both mineral processing to fabricate these materials and their recycling after the end of the device lifespan consume energy and chemicals creating a tremendous pressure for developing more sustainable electrocatalysts and electrodes, which meet the circular economy principles.
We have a position for a doctoral student working on development of more sustainable electrocatalysis and recycling. Your project will focus on developing material and energy efficient electrocatalyst and electrodes for hydrogen generation in PEMELs alongside with development of a novel recycling method for these. This position is part of the doctoral school of Aalto Hydrogen Innovation Center, which will be supported by common seminars, networking activities and contact with industry. You will work in two leading groups (https://www.aalto.fi/en/department-of-chemistry-and-materials-science/electrochemical-energy-conversion-and-storage and https://www.aalto.fi/en/department-of-chemical-and-metallurgical-engineering/hydrometallurgy-and-corrosion-hydromet) in the fields of hydrogen electrocatalysis and recycling at the Aalto University School of Chemical Engineering enabling you to grow as a top scientist in both fields. Also top-level research infrastructure will support your research.
If you are creative and diligent and have completed a MSc degree in electrochemistry, chemical engineering, material science or equivalent field, you might be the doctoral student we are looking for to join our teams. We appreciate good research project management skills and collaboration skills, as you will work in the interphase of two research groups.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral researcher to study wave-ice interaction through laboratory experiments
Marginal ice zone (MIZ) is the transition from ice-free ocean to the pack ice, characterized by ice-ocean dynamics and discrete ice floes. In MIZ, waves have an effect on sea ice and sea ice effects the waves. We can assume that with global warming the MIZs of the oceans will grow in size, because the thinner ice of the future will break more easily than the thicker ice of yesterday. If earlier either thick ice or high waves were challenging for ships and offshore windfarms, we now need to consider also the situation where ice and waves occur at the same time. The sea ice landscape has changed: What was marginal, is now important.
The scientific interest in wave-ice interaction has recently increased spectacularly, but our knowledge on ship-wave-ice interaction is still limited. We can speculate that ice floes moving with waves are more dangerous for ships than ice floes in calm water, but as we do not understand the mechanics of ship-wave-ice interaction processes, we just do not know. While this problem is practical and related to safety of shipping, fundamental basic research is required in order to identify and understand the key physical phenomena. In addition to marine technology, wave-ice interaction is an important research question in geophysics.
Your task is to design and conduct laboratory experiments on ship-wave-ice interaction in the Aalto Ice and Wave Tank. Our ice tank is unique due to its large size (40 m × 40 m). Most ice tanks are long and narrow and most wave tanks are wide. The Aalto Ice and Wave Tank is the only wide tank where both ice and waves can be created. At the moment we are constructing a new wave maker that will allow us to study short-crested irregular waves. In addition to laboratory experiments, our international group studies ice, waves, and ice loads on ships on research vessels in Antarctic waters.
As a doctoral student in our group, you will be able to conduct novel laboratory experiments and may be able to join us in Antarctic field work.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral researcher in the field of sustainability in packaging in the Science Translation Framework for Sustainable Bioproducts Innovation (SciSustain)
Sustainable development requires science-based decision-making to improve and implement solutions that mitigate climate change. However, translating scientific findings is complex and requires a collaborative, multidisciplinary, holistic, robust, and reliable approach to exploring the economic, technical, environmental, and social aspects of bioproduct solutions. SciSustain combines translational engineering research and consolidated sustainability methods in a framework for supporting sustainable bioproduct innovation. The framework is designed to assess innovations and suggest novel approaches to improving sustainability and circularity in packaging.
This project is under the Valmet Beyond Circularity and brings together anchor firms such as UPM, Stora Enso and Metsä as well as Paptic – a rapidly growing SME, and LignEasy and Boreal Bioproducts – startups challenging the status quo of side streams valorization. These seven companies have united forces with Aalto and a multidisciplinary team to translate science. Are you up for this challenge? Join us!

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral researcher in circularity, environmental and economic impact of wood cascading
Wood construction can play a significant role in mitigating climate change; however, we need to use forest resources thoughtfully to maximize their carbon sequestration potential, ensure their health, preserver biodiversity and maintain ecosystems services. Reusing and recycling wood products in a material cascade can improve the environmental performance of wood construction as well as enhance resource efficiency. Furthermore, cascading wood products can lead to value creation through the provision of services to circulate side-products and use waste materials. Despite this, the uptake of wood cascading has been slow due to concerns about the availability and quality of waste wood, competing regulations and a lack of markets for cascaded wood products. In particular, a lack of more convincing information about the environmental, social, and economic benefits of wood cascading is hindering uptake.

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.
