PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in side-Channel Analysis of Autonomous Systems

We are looking for a doctoral student to work on a project AI-Based Side-Channel Attacks and Countermeasures for Autonomous Systems, funded by Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP).

At present there are no methods for assuring side-channel attack resistance of autonomous system’s physical implementations. This project aims to address this important open problem. We intend to take into account the impact of side-channel attacks on autonomous system security both destructively (by devising new types of attacks) and constructively (by designing countermeasures). We will focus on new types of side-channel attacks, including remote attacks.

The doctoral student is expected to investigate the use of advanced Machine Learning (ML) technologies for extracting secret information from physical implementations of autonomous systems using leakage from various side-channels. The acquired knowledge will be used to develop new vulnerability assessment methods and design countermeasures against side-channel attacks, along with supporting tools.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in applied and computational mathematics

The Department of Mathematics at the Royal Institute of Technoloy seeks applications for a Ph.D student position in Applied and Computational Mathematics for a project in machine learning for cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM).

Cryo-EM is a method for imaging biological macromolecules using transmission electron microscopes. The end result of this process is a 3D reconstruction of the given molecule at high enough resolution to resolve individual atoms. However, the images obtained from the electron microscope are often plagued by high levels of noise which needs to be accounted for during reconstruction. This is typically solved by using a large number of images, often in the hundreds of thousands, which leads to high data collection costs. In addition, for particularly small molecules, present methods fail even for very large dataset sizes.

PhD position summary/title: Ph.D student in Human-Computer Interaction specialized in Extended Reality

Extended Reality (XR) is poised to introduce new ways of interacting with people, education, entertainment, and training by employing new technological solutions. Apple recently introduced one example of XR technology described as a “spatial computer,” where digital media is integrated with the real world and physical inputs (e.g. gestures), can interact with the system. Yet, existing XR experiences and solutions are limited to individual, indoor, visual, and auditory perceptions, neglecting social context, haptic experiences, and the outdoor environment.

The Ph.D. candidate will create diverse XR experiences and evaluate them with users in controlled experiments to better understand their multisensory capabilities. By exposing them to various XR environments under different social (single vs. multi-user), perceptual (no haptic vs. haptic), and environmental (indoor vs. outdoor) conditions, the Ph.D. candidate will create a starting point for deep reflections in group workshops on how we interact with XR technology, how multisensory XR experiences affect our perception, and what ethical considerations should be followed to create experiences to include multiple user interaction.

PhD position summary/title: Ph.D. In balancing of renewable energy dominated power systems

In addition to the fact that electricity production from wind and solar is expected to increase significantly in Sweden over the next few decades, the use of batteries, hydrogen and electric vehicles will also increase significantly, which together with the digitization of measurement and control systems provides new opportunities to balance the electricity system. In a power system, a continuous balance is maintained between production and consumption, in the Nordic power system this is currently managed mainly with hydropower. With large amounts of wind and solar power, maintaining this balance becomes a challenge. The entire system becomes more volatile with completely different conditions depending on the operating situation. Even in this future system, the continuous balance must be maintained. The purpose of this project is to study how the balancing, under the new conditions, can take place as rationally as possible regarding both technical and the choice of appropriate economic control signals. The actual solution will vary between different hours in a future system. The project is part of a larger national research project, with many collaborative partners.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in in Polymeric Materials in Nuclear Power Plants

The overall goal of this project is to develop a safer method for life estimation (and remaining life) and classification of polymeric components in nuclear power applications. The consequence of “premature” failing seals and cables etc. in a nuclear power plant can have very serious consequences, and safer lifetime estimates (extrapolation from accelerated tests) are therefore central to safety. The goal is therefore to develop a “general” method/methodology for lifetime estimation that mimics reality significantly better than today’s methods, and thus is safer and has better precision. The project involves ageing methods, such as gamma irradiation, and a number of characterisation tools of polymeric materials, e.g. IR spectroscopy, electron microscopy and mechanical testing. 

A goal in this project is also to involve several parties in the project. We will have a close collaboration with Vattenfall, OKG and Westinghouse, and the intention is also to collaborate with VTT in Finland the BAM institute in Berlin.

PhD position summary/title:  PhD student in interoperability in power-electronics dominated power grids

You will be part of the power electronics research group within the school of electrical engineering and computer science at KTH. The group does research in several fields, notably high-power electronics for power grids, and wide-bandgap power semiconductors.

The traditional electric power grid is dominated by passive components such as synchronous generators, circuit breakers, and transformers. This worked well with traditional primary energy sources like coal, gas, and nuclear power, which connect to the grid through these large synchronous generators and can be located close to population centers. The future electric power grid will be power-electronics dominated. This is needed to massively connect renewable energy sources (wind and solar power e.g.) as well as energy storage and transmission assets such as high-voltage direct current (HVDC). Grid-connected converters take over the role of the traditional grid control components such as synchronous generators.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Incentive-driven Control, Optimization and Learning

Third-cycle subject: Applied and Computational Mathematics

With the increasing integration of intelligent systems in human life, it’s urgent to investigate control, optimization, and learning systems coupling with strategic/human agents. Examples of such systems range from transportation systems to human-robot teaming, smart grids, and federated learning. In these mixed-autonomy systems, the human agents, rational and self-interest, actively participate in and significantly influence the operations and dynamics of the systems. To ensure the accuracy and efficiency of these systems, it needs an incentive-driven scheme to motivate and regulate the strategic agents, such that they behave in a voluntary, authentic, and non-malicious way. This doctoral project will target this challenge by studying games and mechanism design in control, optimization, and data exchange among a network of strategic agents. The project will span theory, algorithms, as well as applications in the related fields.

The doctoral student will be actively involved in and access to the resources of the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP).
