(02) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD student position in the field of durability of wooden structures

Your tasks will focus on the design and operation of experiments to investigate the failure mechanisms in wooden structures. This will require the implementation of mechanical testing combined with a variety of sensors to follow changes in the structures. You will use a range of surface analytical techniques to characterize the detected changes. You will work closely with another PhD student and a post-doc to collectively investigate the failure mechanisms and the generation of high-quality sensor data.

Deadline : Open until filled

(05) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD position in developing innovative plasmonic materials

The research focuses on developing innovative plasmonic materials. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) are strong photon-induced collective hot-electron coupling effects, which can create intense and sensitive electromagnetic near field. SPR and LSPR have found intriguing successes in biosensing, control switches, signal amplifiers and modulators, and high-performance photocatalysis. The conventional plasmonic materials include noble metals, e.g. gold, which was extensively used in biosensing research in our group. On the other hand, the plasmonic properties are strongly dependent on the materials, the surrounding media, and the geometrical parameters, which makes engineering of the material and nanostructure extremely important to realize highly tunable and designable optical properties.

(07) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: Ph.D. position on Investigation and Modeling of Mechanical Bond Behavior and Composite Action between 3D Printed Concrete and Cast Concrete

This PhD position is offered as part of an SNSF-funded project investigating low-damage 3D printed concrete walls reinforced with iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs). The PhD project aims to develop a nonlinear finite element modeling framework to simulate the mechanical bond behavior between 3D printed concrete and cast concrete. To inform the model, small-scale experimental investigations – including direct shear, slant shear, and direct tension tests – will be conducted to characterize the bond. A particular focus will be on understanding how differential stiffness between the two concretes and interface waviness influence bond behavior. Building on the insights at small-scale level, the research will extend to the structural scale, examining the composite action between 3D printed concrete and cast concrete infill under axial compression. This will be achieved through a combination of finite element modeling and experimental testing of composite wall panels under axial compression. 

Deadline : Open until filled
