PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Negative emissions through cost-optimal Direct Air Capture and Storage plant design
One essential step towards the ramp-up is the identification of site-specific optimal design of DACS plants, which will be the focus of the advertised PhD. To identify optimal DACS plant designs in terms of their techno-economic characteristics an optimization model is to be developed in the institutes’ inhouse modelling framework FINE (https://github.com/FZJ-IEK3-VSA/FINE) in addition to technical models allowing to assess technical scaling and an optimal operation. The optimal plant design is identified by considering the energy supply system, the choice of capture technology, the DAC-plant’s technical design, the DAC-plant’s operational concept and the positioning of the DAC-plant with regards to the storage site and needed transportation effort. Your tasks in detail:
- Development of a modelling structure for representing the DACS-system in the FINE-Framework
- Detailed model of DAC technologies including their technical design and scaling effects
- Parameterization and design of the energy supply system for providing electricity (and heat/cooling) for the DAC plant
- Detailed model for DAC operation with respect to fluctuating energy supply and climatic conditions
- Model for assessing the positioning of the DAC-plant with regards to the storage site and needed transportation
- Development of appropriate scenarios to test the DACS-plant design and to obtain robust recommendations regarding the overall design

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Investigating the incorporation of 226Ra into calcium carbonate
About the project: Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is crucial in both natural and engineered environments, acting as a long-term carbon sink and aiding environmental remediation by capturing heavy metals and radionuclides. (Radio)Toxic elements like radium (226Ra) pose significant risks, often stemming from subsurface energy-related applications. 226Ra can be incorporated into carbonate minerals during mineral growth or replacement reactions, resulting in solid solutions. These co-precipitation processes can control radium mobility in the environment and can be exploited in the design of engineered barriers for 226Ra retention. However, there is a lack of understanding of how such ions are incorporated into stable carbonate solid solutions. This project aims to integrate experiments and simulations to elucidate 226Ra retention by CaCO3, the crystallization pathways and replacement reactions, and the thermodynamic properties of the formed solid solutions. Our approach involves the development of microfluidic experiments combined with advanced analytical techniques. The results will inform environmental remediation strategies and safe nuclear waste disposal.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position for the project “RotoSOC”
The future energy supply based on renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics or wind power, requires storage media that can either store electricity directly or produce usable energy raw materials from the electricity. The basic molecule for this is hydrogen. This can be produced via the electrolysis of water (steam electrolysis) or a mixture of water and carbon dioxide (co-electrolysis). High-temperature electrolyzers (SOE; solid oxide electrolyzers) are one of the electrolyzer technologies. SOEs are based on ceramic cells, which today are produced using typical ceramic technologies such as screen printing or tape casting.
However, if the goals of both the German government and the global climate targets are to be achieved, significantly more electrolyzers will have to be produced each year and thus the production of the cells must be scaled up considerably.
As part of a cross-technology German research project between an industrial partner, a Fraunhofer Institute and Forschungszentrum Jülich, a new way of manufacturing SOEs is to be investigated and established. Derived from the production of solar cells, the new SOEs are to be coated with the functional layers using a rotational coating process in an uninterrupted flow. This type of coating technology would revolutionize the production of SOEs, as the time requirement would be significantly reduced. This would potentially enable the production of millions of units per year and thus decisively support the upcoming upscaling of high-temperature electrolyzer technology. This is true both in terms of production capacity and costs, as the quantity of components produced per unit of time would be reduced. In the funded project, the industrial partner provides the base substrate to be coated, the Fraunhofer Institute takes care of the rotational coating and the FZ Jülich is responsible for the powder and paste development as well as the in-depth characterization of the rheological paste properties in order to be able to specifically adjust the different layer structures and morphologies. The latter in close coordination with the Fraunhofer Institute for the rapid transfer of the developed pastes into test coatings. If you would like to work in one of the world`s most renowned research groups in the field of solid oxide fuel and electrolysis cells, please apply immediately!

PhD position summary/title: PhD position – Sample-efficient quantum gate calibration based on quantum optimal control
Among other applications, optimal control theory has proven its utility for the optimal calibration of quantum gates early on and has since been used routinely in experiments. The calibration is typically based on a figure of merit derived from experimental data, such as the average gate fidelity provided by the randomized benchmarking protocol. In realistic scenarios, these quantities however require a significant measurement effort to be estimated, especially in the high-precision regime relevant for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
You will investigate recent advances in characterization and benchmarking protocols for their suitability to provide efficient cost functions for the optimal control of gate calibration in full-stack quantum computers and simulators. Based on your assessment, you will develop new, sample-efficient optimal control approaches for gate calibration and test them in numerical simulations. You will pursue your research with the German research collaboration QSolid, https://www.q-solid.de , coordinated by Forschungszentrum Jülich. You will work with experts in quantum optimal control at Forschungszentrum Jülich (Dr. Felix Motzoi, Dr. Francisco Cardenas-Lopez), and in quantum characterization at the University of Cologne (Dr. Markus Heinrich).
