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
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.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Polymer Technology
We are looking for a PhD student eager to work with the big plastic challenges. This includes the use of renewable resources, development of greener synthesis methodologies as well as chemical and mechanical recycling for the product, in an active research environment. Plastics are today irreplaceable materials that enable our lifestyle and a sustainable development. At the same time, plastics have a negative impact on our environment when we utilize depleting resources in their production and because the large volumes of plastic waste generated in linear material streams. For the future, we need to use carbon dioxide neutral building-blocks and create circular material streams by using recyclable products. In this project, building-blocks from chemically recycled plastic waste and renewable resources will be combined and via greener reaction processes we will design and develop a new type of recyclable insulation foam for circularity. This will be enabled using dynamic bonds as the core chemistry, yielding products with the necessary material properties during use while enabling efficient material recycling at the end-of-life. Create circular insulating foams is central, as the energy usage often is household’s largest contribution to greenhouse gas emission, where an efficient thermal insulation contributes economically, socially and environmentally to sustainability.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in development of lignin-based carbon materials for metallurgy
The present PhD project brings together the two largest industrial sectors in Sweden: the metallurgical industry and the pulp and paper industry. The use of carbon is critical to the metallurgical and steel industries. Carbon is present in the form of aggregates (e.g. petroleum coke and needle coke) and binders (e.g. coal tar pitch and phenolic resins) in furnace electrodes, lining pastes and refractories. However, today it originates mainly from fossil sources and must be replaced by more environmentally friendly alternatives from renewable resources. Lignin from kraft pulp mill is a promising alternative due to its high carbon content and availability, and has the potential to function both as an aggregate and as a binder for their application in the manufacture of bio-carbon furnace electrodes.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in electrochemical modelling of batteries
Batteries play an increasingly important role as primary energy storage in vehicles. Current battery packs however suffer from inhomogeneous aging due to uneven load of individual cells. Depending on where in the circuit a certain cell is located, the average current through that cell may differ from its neighbours. This leads to differences in state of charge and, in the long term, state of health. It is also difficult to estimate the internal states of individual cells because they cannot be tested in isolation from the rest of the system.
A possible solution to the above problems is to split the battery pack into smaller modules which can be individually connected or disconnected. Such a system offers new possibilities to drive the system to advantageous operating points, as well as increased ability to accurately estimate system states. However, such a topology also increases the system’s complexity. It is therefore necessary to develop novel control strategies to be able to use the modular battery system to its full extent.

PhD position summary/title: Ph.D student in Human-Computer Interaction for Environmental Stewardship
The project will provide scientific knowledge and practical expertise to more responsively address the challenges of designing new digital systems that enable sustainable waste practices. Considering regulatory aspects early on, when new digital technologies are envisioned and designed, will more efficiently support the alignment of values mandated by the law with specific design features, and with the concerns that different stakeholders (e.g., municipalities, drivers of innovations) might have in managing waste and protecting the environment. In designing new technologies, the role of law and other regulations is often considered after (in time and importance) the development of new functionalities, when technologies are already in use. The project will examine the ways digital innovation for new sustainable practices can be shaped by existing policy and governance, but also challenge existing regulations. It will deliver empirical evidence and a design methodology to more proactively and holistically understand how environmental responsibility in waste management is made to work within the law.
