PhD position summary/title: PhD position in Signal processing for airborne multi-static radar systems
Signal processing for radar systems is in the intersection of physical modeling, multidimensional statistics, and linear algebra. Future radar systems will include a network of geometrically separate nodes where some nodes are active (they send out radio waves) and others are passive (listen to the radio waves) or nodes that are both active and passive. The goal of a radar system is to sense the environment and detect and track all interesting objects by operating the passive and active nodes in an efficient way. This PhD project is directed towards signal processing for airborne radar systems where the passive and active nodes are placed on separate flying platforms known as a bistatic (for two nodes) or a multistatic (for more than two nodes) radar setup. In the project we aim to develop efficient algorithms that maximize the information gain about the environment that is probed and sensed by the radar system.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student position in land sector sustainability transitions
Growing demand for food, feed, biomaterials and non-fossil fuels is increasing competition for biomass and land, while climate change is placing additional stresses on land and food systems, exacerbating existing risks to livelihoods, biodiversity, human and ecosystem health, and infrastructure. At the same time, appropriate integration of new bio-based systems with existing land and biomass uses can improve resource use efficiency, reduce pressure on natural ecosystems, and support adaptation through measures to combat land degradation, enhance food and energy security, and improve resilience by maintaining the productivity of the land resource base. Thus, there may be trade-offs and synergies between land-based climate change mitigation and the pursuit of other objectives in the land sector. The outcome will depend on the specific practices and scale of implementation, technologies used, governance, interaction with existing land uses, involvement of local people, and distribution of costs and benefits.
Research activities in this area aim to increase our knowledge of the challenges facing the land sector and related bio-based industries, and of ways to address these challenges. A particular focus will be on novel mitigation and adaptation solutions that provide co-benefits such as erosion control, soil carbon storage and biodiversity protection. In addition to identifying and analyzing specific solutions, we examine how evolving climate, environmental, and agricultural/forestry policies offer new opportunities for landowners to diversify land use and improve incomes by supplying multiple markets. Our research projects typically have links with actors in the agriculture/forestry sector, bio-based process industries, as well as governments and civil society in Sweden and abroad.

The amino acid-based amphiphiles constitute a class of environmentally benign surfactants. They are based on natural starting materials, they are rapidly biodegradable and have low aquatic toxicity, and they are mild to the skin.
Cleavable surfactants are also environmentally friendly in the sense that they have a function enabling better recyclability. The work on environmentally friendly surfactant now focuses on the use of new building blocks, and this project has a strong focus on the correlation between new biobased surfactant and their properties.

PhD position summary/title: PhD in recruitment and equality in science and engineering education
This PhD project will focus on understanding the arena for broadened recruitment and participation in STEM university education, from policy to practice. Patterns of participation in STEM disciplines are inequitable, including a lack of gender equality and representation of marginalized populations. Research has often focused on student experiences and social norms influencing equality, but we see a need for research that aims at understanding the role of other actors and factors in this arena. The goal is to understand how the problem of equal participation in STEM is represented in these other contexts, and what practices follow from this. This includes political policymaking, university organisation, and concrete outreach activities. We envision a PhD project that focuses on some part of this arena, using research approaches that could include for example textual/discourse analysis, interviews, participant observation and co-creative methods. The exact design of the project will be decided by the student together with the supervisors.

PhD position summary/title: PhD positions in nuclear reactor core diagnostics using neutron noise
Beyond using traditional sensors for temperature, pressure, velocity, acceleration, etc. located outside of the reactor core, using neutron detectors represents an attractive route for monitoring the behaviour of the core itself. The main advantage of using neutrons to detect anomalies as compared to using the information from more classical sensors is that neutrons propagate through the system via the fission and scattering reactions. Neutrons detectors can thus “sense” any perturbation even far away from the actual location of the perturbation in contrast to pressure and temperature instrumentation commonly used. One of the most promising core monitoring techniques relies on the measurement of the inherent fluctuations in the neutron flux in a nuclear core, the so-called neutron noise.
Neutron noise-based diagnostics requires the comparison of the measured neutron noise to a large set of pre-calculated neutron noise spatial signatures for postulated anomalies, so that the actual noise source existing in the system can be determined (a process often called inversion or unfolding). This is done using full core simulations based on coarse mesh approaches.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position in modeling of functional surface and interface phenomena
To interpret experiments and exploit materials for next-generation devices, it is crucial to understand surface and interface properties, which can differ from bulk material properties. You will combine symmetry analysis with electronic structure and atomistic modeling to predict localized phenomena that emerge due to the low symmetry and dimensionality of surfaces. The project will also focus on developing more realistic surface models, for example by including magnetic and atomistic reconstructions, to improve interpretations of surface-sensitive experiments.
As a PhD student in this role, you will focus on modeling solid-state surface and interface phenomena, with an emphasis on magnetic and topological properties. This research has potential for both improved interpretation of experiments, and design of “spintronics” devices with improved robustness and efficiency compared to traditional electronics. You will use theoretical tools including symmetry analysis, DFT, tight-binding, and depending on project progression, machine learning. You will collaborate locally and internationally with groups in both theory and experiment. You will disseminate your findings by publishing in scientific journals and presenting at conferences.
