PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – System-level integrated circuit design and modeling for scalable quantum computing architectures
We are working on scalable electronic architectures based on semiconductor spin quantum bits (qubits) to make the vision of a universal quantum computer reality. For scaling up the number of qubits into the millions, it is crucial to move parts of the control electronics closer to the qubits. To achieve this, we design and implement cryogenic integrated circuits for qubit control and readout in state-of-the-art CMOS technologies. Since qubits are extremely sensitive and operate in temperatures at low millikelvin levels, the requirements on power consumption, noise and area are severe. For this reason, it is necessary to develop new and groundbreaking architectures and circuit topologies. Modeling electronics and their interfaces to qubits in this challenging environment is an essential part of this.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Analysis of Redox Interaction of Glass Composite Sealants for Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC)
Hydrogen is seen worldwide as a crucial building block for the transformation towards a sustainable and greenhouse-gas-neutral energy system. Electrolysis is the best-known and most relevant option for the sustainable and efficient production of hydrogen. SOEC electrolysis is in the focus of current research. An essential component of an SOEC is the sealing of the gas feeds with a sealing material. This material must be chemically inert at high temperatures, stable under long-term operating conditions while also having an optimised coefficient of thermal expersion of the ceramic cell material and the metallic housing. Glass-ceramic composite sealants are state of the art and fulfill these requirements. During operation of the SOEC, redox reactions were observed in which zinc drops precipitat from the sealing material. These are disadvantageous for the thermomechanical stability and the electrical insulation properties of the joint.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position – Global source apportionment of particulate matter air pollution
The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emphasizes the importance of finding ways to remove CO2 from the atmosphere to meet climate change targets. One strongly considered solution is Direct Air Capture and Storage (DACS), which involves capturing CO2 from the air and storing it underground in geological formations. However, the operation of DAC facilities could release significant amounts of pollutants, forming toxic gases and atmospheric aerosols. Atmospheric aerosols affect human health and play an important role in changing the Earth’s climate. Therefore, atmospheric chemical modelling can provide valuable insights into the potential risks associated with the use of proposed DAC technology.
In this PhD project, you will provide an initial assessment of the atmospheric impact of emissions from DAC facilities by
- Developing a computationally efficient atmospheric aerosol apportionment module within a global Chemistry Climate Model (CCM)
- Using source-specific species to track the contribution of yource locations and classes to atmospheric aerosol formation
- Investigate the contribution of DAC facilities to ambient particulate matter concentrations and the potential long -range transport of pollutants
- Investigate the impact of emission control policies (e.g. reduction of SO2, NOx,NH3 and VOC) from specific sources and sectors on future atmospheric aerosol formation

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Resources of the Energy Transition: Innovative Process Routes for Replacing Material Flows in Fossil-Based Energy Systems
The transition from a fossil-based to a renewable energy system is one of the central challenges of the 21st century. While fossil energy systems provide not only energy but also numerous industrial raw materials—such as for the chemical industry, steel production, or road construction—the gradual phase-out of these technologies may lead to potential shortages of critical materials. This PhD project aims to explore and model alternative process routes and innovative solutions to meet material demands in a fully renewable energy system. The goal of this research is not only to identify material shortages resulting from the phase-out of fossil energy but also to investigate sustainable alternatives. These alternatives could include the use of bio-based raw materials, the development of electrochemical processes, or the use of green hydrogen to substitute fossil material flows. The ICE-2 at Forschungszentrum Jülich provides a state-of-the-art global energy system model as an ideal basis for investigating the transformation of the energy system and its impact on global material flows. The research will focus on studying alternatives to fossil-based materials, analyzing innovative and techno-economically feasible solutions, and developing transformation strategies based on these findings.
