PhD position summary/title: PhD position in synchrotron-based gas catalysis studies of model surfaces
Against the background of global warming the chemical transformation of the greenhouse gases into value-added products with the aim to store energy in form of molecules becomes all the more essential. The partial oxidation of methane (POM) constitutes an energy-saving route to activate the greenhouse gas methane to produce syngas, a fundamental building block in chemical industry for the production of methanol and olefins. However, for POM to occur at energy-saving low temperatures, novel catalyst materials of improved activity need to be identified and investigated.
In this respect, the alloying of Ni catalysts with noble metals has been found beneficial. However, the interplay between the catalyst structure, its alloy composition, its surface chemistry and the catalytic activity needs to be understood on the atomic scale under realistic high pressure reaction conditions. The current position will focus on the preparation and investigation of alloy model catalysts for POM using synchrotron-based operando techniques, where the designing and the setting up of an operando high pressure cell for synchrotron-based High Energy Surface X-ray Diffraction (HESXRD) studies is foreseen. Prior to synchrotron beamtimes the catalyst samples will be prepared and pre-characterized in the homelab.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position in bioelectronic wound repair systems
As a PhD in our group you will take on responsibility towards the application of cellulose-based materials for wound healing applications. You will focus on using new cellulose-based materials as carriers and insulators for skin-electrode interfaces, aiming at developing bioelectronic wound dressings.
You will:
– identify diverse protocols for generating cellulose-based membranes capable of conforming to skin wounds.
– explore various methods to generate functional conducting structures within the cellulose
– fabricate and validate prototypes focusing on the conducting/insulating properties required
– prototype different bioelectronic devices for measurement and stimulation of skin
Our skin has remarkable ability to self-heal, however, old age and certain diseases can drastically reduce this ability. This greatly increases the risk that a normal wound becomes a chronic wound. Lots of research has been invested into wound repair strategies that support or speed up the healing process to reduce the risk that chronic wounds form. One way to enforce faster closure is to use electrical stimulation to manipulate how skin-cells act during skin regeneration. This concept has been developed over a number of years the by the team in bioelectronic microtechnology. At this point we are exploring how this completely new active wound healing concept could be integrated in established wound dressing materials based on cellulose. We are expecting that this next step is what is needed to allow us to translate our research to an active wound dressing to be used in patients. For this project we are currently looking for a PhD, to develop cellulose based materials that can be used as substrate for electrode fabrication through laser-structuring in combination with cellulose based hydrogels/hydrocolloids intended for direct contact with the wounded area. The position is embedded within the Wallenberg Wood Science Centre where you will exchange with other research teams working with cellulose and other wood-based materials.

PhD position summary/title: PhD positions in Quantum Nanophotonics
The positions are in the brand-new Quantum Photonics Laboratory (QPL). We are scientists, applied physicists, and engineers. We explore the flow of and interactions between light, sound, and microwaves.
There is no reliable path to a sustainable growth in society’s capability to compute and connect. A key issue is the excessive energy loss caused by communication. In classical datacenters and computers, this energy loss leads to heating and greenhouse gas emissions. In emerging quantum processors, the energy loss prevents scaling up small quantum devices into more powerful systems. We are developing new hardware to address this. Read more on our webpage and in this popular science article.
This project is part of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), a 12-year, billion-SEK initiative with the purpose of advancing Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology, and to build a Swedish quantum computer. We are members of the Quantum Technology division in the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2). We work with the experimentalists in the Photonics division and the theorists at the Applied Quantum Physics division. Our department hosts the state-of-the-art MC2 Nanofabrication Laboratory cleanroom, the largest such facility in Northern Europe. We have cutting-edge cryogenic, microwave and optical measurement capabilities.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position on buildings’ resilience in warmer and more humid climate of the future
Research on how the climate change impacts the built environment has had a focus mainly on increasing temperature and precipitation, while limited attention was focused on increasing outdoor humidity. In Sweden, climate scenarios predict warmer and, consequently, more humid conditions. While warmer winters may reduce heating energy use, higher outdoor humidity will hinder ventilation efficiency, leading to increased mould growth risk in moisture-prone areas. Other issues include higher indoor humidity, decreased comfort, intensified VOC emissions from materials, more air-conditioner use, prolonged drying times during construction, and dimensional changes in wooden elements. The lack of similar studies limits definitive conclusions and recommendations for the industry and policy makers. Addressing these issues can help to prevent costly moisture damage repairs, which already today cost billions of SEK annually.

About Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden –Official Website
Chalmers University of Technology is a Swedish university located in Gothenburg that focuses on research and education in technology, natural sciences, architecture, mathematics, maritime and other management areas.
The university was founded in 1829 following a donation by William Chalmers, a director of the Swedish East India Company. He donated part of his fortune for the establishment of an “industrial school”. Chalmers was run as a private institution until 1937, when the institute became a state-owned university. In 1994, the school was incorporated as an aktiebolag under the control of the Swedish Government, the faculty and the Student Union. Chalmers is one of only three universities in Sweden which are named after a person, the other two being Karolinska Institutet and Linnaeus University.
