PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Food and Formulation Engineering–turbulent emulsifiers
At an industrial scale, emulsions are formed in emulsification devices such as rotor-stator mixers and high-pressure homogenizers. Drop breakup takes place due to turbulent interactions. The fundamental understanding of turbulent drop breakup has advances significantly. However, a critical component is missing. Emulsification occurs in the presence of molecules such as egg or milk proteins, or smaller surfactant. These modify the interface. We know this influences the breakup process, but we do not know how. This project will explore this in-depth. The group will use both experimental techniques (emulsification experiments as well as high-speed imaging) and direct numerical simulations (DNS). The PhD-student will to some extent work with both experimental and modelling methodology. However, the focus will be decided based on background, interest and depending on how the project develops.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Structural Engineering with focus braking and traction forces on railway bridges
The PhD project aims to improve the treatment of braking and traction loads for the design of new, and verification of existing, railway bridges. This includes an investigation into the structural models used as well as the applied loads (and how these are combined with other loads). A probabilistic framework is to be adopted to be compatible with the safety format adopted in modern design codes (i.e., partial safety factor method calibrated using reliability-based assessments). It is anticipated that the outcome will result in recommendations for improved procedures relating to the design and verification of railway bridge systems with a consistent safety format. This should also reduce the potential over-expenditure of resources owing to highly conservative design practices while providing insights for improving the load rating of existing railway bridges.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral students in nanomaterials research
The Nanochemistry and Spectroscopy group (https://www.chemphys.lu.se/research/groups/baranov-group/) at the Division of Chemical Physics is seeking one-two doctoral students to explore nanomaterials, self assembly, and collective phenomena. Solution processed nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, mesocrystals, and thin films, offer a promising, low cost platform for optoelectronics and quantum technologies. The potential of the nanomaterials is further expanded when self assembly is used to organize nanoscale building blocks into hierarchical structures that exhibit collective properties such as superradiance, superfluorescence, and enhanced exciton transport.
Future progress in this exciting field will be enabled by advancing beyond heavy metal compositions (e.g., away from lead and cadmium containing semiconductors), gaining a deeper understanding of self assembly mechanisms and the structure of assemblies, identifying robust experimental signatures of collective behavior, developing practical applications, and utilizing the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning for discovery of novel materials and properties.
Exploring these directions is the focus of the doctoral studies with a goal to develop novel nanomaterials that exhibit collective phenomena and enable next generation technologies. The positions are funded by the European Research Council Starting Grant “Prometheus: Engineering of Superfluorescent Nanocrystal Solids” and the Swedish Research Council (VR) Starting Grant “Nanocrystal Solids for Quantum Technology.”

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Electrical Engineering focusing on Computer Security
The primary duties of the doctoral student position are to perform research and teaching within the computer security area. The research is devoted to researching security for dynamic resource allocation in next-generation mobile networks. Dynamic task execution in future networks will require careful verification of target resources and new principles and protocols for execution target verification are needed. In addition, different protected execution environments for dynamic execution, such as Intel TDX and AMD SEV, have different isolation properties and side channel risks. Side channel attacks on dynamically allocated confidential tasks are within the research scope of the positions. Furthermore, the resource allocation functions can be subject to attacks, and identifying attacks and countermeasures is expected to be studied. The research method will be a combination of system studies, simulations, and experimental research. The research project is a collaboration with Linköping University.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Computer Science with focus on privacy-preserving neural models
Despite GDPR claims on pseudonymization as a key privacy protection method, there is insufficient evidence from research that we can trust pseudonymization as a bulletproof method of personal identity protection. This PhD project will experimentally investigate the effectiveness of pseudonymization techniques in protecting writer identity across various natural language processing applications, from written essays to Robotic/AI interactions.
The research challenges focus on the fundamental question: Does pseudonymization work as we expect it to? This project will systematically evaluate different pseudonymization strategies through rigorous re-identification attacks to determine their true effectiveness in preserving privacy.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Applied Mathematics with a focus on Computer Vision
The research subject for the current call is mathematics with a focus on computer vision and machine learning. The announced position is within the project ” RADICAL – A Novel Framework for Radar and Image Calibration”.
Over the last years we have seen a renewed interest in radar applications, especially in combination with camera data. One of the attractive points of this combination is the sensors’ complementary nature and failure modes. Cameras and lidars suffer from severe degradation in harsh environments, with snow and rain. With longer wavelengths, radars can penetrate through rain and snow to a larger extent. Radars are also installed on various mobile platforms in the desire to reduce the sensor payload, giving them larger roles in applications where cameras are traditionally used, within e.g. autonomous vehicles, robotics and surveillance. In this project we will target the problem of automatic joint calibration of a system of radar sensors and cameras. This involves everything from performing relevant signal processing, extracting features, modelling the geometry to developing robust optimization and estimation algorithms, The work will be done using modern methods in mathematical modelling, optimization and machine learning. For more informaiton, please see: https://elliit.se/project/radical-a-novel-framework-for-radar-and-image-calibration/
The thesis work in the project will include the development of new methods, theoretical analysis, algorithm design, planning and execution of experiments, data collection, writing scientific articles, and presenting the results at international conferences.

About Lund University, Scania, Sweden – Official Website
Lund University is a prestigious university in Sweden and one of northern Europe’s oldest universities. The university is located in the city of Lund in the province of Scania, Sweden. It traces its roots back to 1425, when a Franciscan studium generale was founded in Lund. After Sweden won Scania from Denmark in the 1658 Treaty of Roskilde, the university was officially founded in 1666 on the location of the old studium generale next to Lund Cathedral.
Lund University has nine faculties, with additional campuses in the cities of Malmö and Helsingborg, with 40,000 students in 270 different programmes and 1,300 freestanding courses. The university has some 600 partner universities in nearly 70 countries and it belongs to the League of European Research Universities as well as the global Universitas 21 network. Lund University is consistently ranked among the world’s top 100 universities.
Two major facilities for materials research are in Lund University: MAX IV, a synchrotron radiation laboratory – inaugurated in June 2016, and European Spallation Source (ESS), a new European facility that will provide up to 100 times brighter neutron beams than existing facilities today, to be opened in 2023.
The university centers on the Lundagård park adjacent to the Lund Cathedral, with various departments spread in different locations in town, but mostly concentrated in a belt stretching north from the park connecting to the university hospital area and continuing out to the northeastern periphery of the town, where one finds the large campus of the Faculty of Engineering.
