(12) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD position in polaron engineering for solar devices

We are looking for a PhD student to work on electronic structure modeling of polarons in materials for solar devices. The undeniable heart of a solar device is a specifically selected and engineered semiconductor. It serves as a photoabsorber, and converts solar photons to free electrons. Whenever we find a new material for this purpose, which improves on stability, sustainability, or efficiency, it often heralds a technological shift. In the field of solar cells the last such transition was brought on by halide perovskites, which are heavily researched for a number of applications. In the field of photoelectrochemical solar-to-fuel conversion, for instance through water splitting, complex metal oxides are the most promising. But to harness the full potential of emerging materials, we need to comprehend how they function, exactly.

Among the many quantum mechanical processes that occur between capturing solar photons and electricity in the grid, charge-lattice interactions emerge as possibly the most enigmatic, yet exceptionally influential. In polarizable solids, excess charges brought upon by photon absorption can localize in potential wells, self-generated by displacing the surrounding ions, creating quasi-particles referred to as polarons. The present project will focus on comprehensive modeling of the effect of polarons in materials for solar application. Advanced electronic structure methods like hybrid functionals and ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations will be used.

PhD position summary/title: PhD/Postdoc in fluid mechanics of supercooled droplets and ice crystals

The Department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences at Chalmers University of Technology is currently offering a doctoral or postdoctoral position focused on investigating ice formation in the atmosphere, particularly starting from supercooled liquid droplets.

Despite temperatures below 0 Celsius, the spontaneous freezing of liquid droplets is a complex phenomenon, and they often remain in a unique thermodynamic state known as supercooling. The formation of ice from supercooled droplets is reliant on the presence of specific aerosol solid particles, referred to as ice nuclei. However, these ice nuclei are rare, and observations indicate that the concentration of ice exceeds the concentration of ice nuclei by several orders of magnitude. This discrepancy leads to the intriguing phenomenon known as ice multiplication, where the source of the additional ice remains unclear.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in integrated AI/MD for the discovery of new materials

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have long been used in various industrial applications due to their favorable chemical and thermal stability, water resistance, and electrical insulation. In particular, they are widely used in the process of semi-conductor manufacturing; however, due to recent evidence of their adverse environmental and health effects, regulatory agencies are increasingly tightening restrictions on PFAS usage and pushing for their eventual phase-out, spurring an urgent need for alternative compounds. As such, semiconductor manufacturers face the imminent need to align their manufacturing practices with these strict, new regulations. The development of new PFAS replacements which address the potential risks associated with them while maintaining their favorable chemical properties is one of the crucial problems facing humanity in the next decade.

PFAS replacement compounds hold the potential for significant environmental and human health benefits. Known for their stability, PFAS are persistent in nature, to the point that they have become ubiquitous in air, water, and soil. This raises serious concerns about their long-term ecological impact. By identifying and employing new compounds that possess equivalent or superior functionality to PFAS, we can significantly reduce their environmental footprint and mitigate the contamination risks associated with their widespread use. Furthermore, the engineering of PFAS replacement compounds is a vital step in safeguarding human health. Studies have linked exposure to PFAS with adverse health effects, though there are limited studies on the computational prediction of PFAS toxicity. This motivates the inclusion of health effects and toxicity prediction in any future tool developed for the discovery and design of novel PFAS replacement compounds. By identifying compounds that exhibit similar or enhanced properties in semiconductor manufacturing, such as excellent thermal stability and superior electrical insulation, we can not only meet the existing requirements of semiconductor manufacturing, but also pave the way for innovative breakthroughs in environmental and human health. However, in order to engineer PFAS replacements with desired property profiles, we must have an understanding of their molecular structures, chemical and thermal stabilities, hydrophobicity, charge transport mechanisms, and device architectures in which they are to be used. In addition, we cannot neglect the identification of potential degradation pathways under mild conditions, as without considering the full lifecycle of these materials, it is not possible to assess nor improve their environmental impact.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student position in Interpretable Learning Methods for Efficient Human-Robot Collaboration

Collaborative Robots (Cobots) are intended to interact directly with humans in shared and dynamic spaces. Meaning that humans and robots can work together in close proximity to achieve a common goal. What is limiting the deployment of Cobots to complex collaborative scenarios? An important research question is how to enable effective human-robot collaborations (HRC). A central challenge is to develop learning and reasoning methods to enable Cobots to autonomously make decisions, mirroring human’s ability to make quick, informed decisions in dynamic collaborative settings.

The next generation of Cobots should infer the intentions of its co-workers, make rapid decisions about the best actions to execute, and learn the correct associated control strategies to achieve the desired goal without compromising the collaboration. Thus, Cobots need to have a high-level reasoning model to resemble human cognitive modeling, and a low-level control model to execute optimal skills. The synthesis of high-level reasoning with adequate low-level controls is very challenging and it is an unexplored territory that will open up new opportunities in different research areas within the HRC field. This project aims to expand the scientific understanding of the requirements to provide a holistic solution from interpreting the collaborator’s intentions to executing the optimal robot skill autonomously, leading to better HRC.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student position in Numerical modelling of vibrational effects on buildings from blasting

Blasting in rock induces ground vibrations, which in turn may cause structural damage to nearby buildings. The Swedish Standard states guidelines for vibration values that are permitted to avoid such damages. These guidelines are sometimes considered obsolete and criticisms have been raised concerning their validity. Thus, there is a desire to update these standards based on more modern findings. This project aims to provide a deeper physical understanding of the connection between ground vibrations and damage to structures. Eventually, the project is expected to contribute to a revision of the current guidelines in Swedish Standard regarding blast-induced vibrations in buildings.

This PhD project mainly aims at developing numerical models that describe the impact on buildings from ground vibrations. This includes studying and evaluating the effects from various parameters (material, geometry, amplitude, frequency, etc). The modeling is mainly based on finite element models (FEM). These calculations will be performed in both 2D and 3D, and are primarily based on linear elastic models. Both time and frequency analysis are to be studied. Calculations will include structural effects at both a “global” level (eigenfrequencies, mode shapes) and a “local” level (strains). The models are calibrated and compared primarily with existing experimental blast data on simple test buildings in Norway as well as from full-scale tests in Sweden, France and the USA. Additional experimental tests are possible during the course of the project based on results obtained and needs identified from the project.

PhD position summary/title:  PhD student position in Airborne multi-static radar systems

One enabler for an AMR system is to exploit the direct signal between a transmitting platform and a receiving platform. The direct signal allows timing, synchronization, transmitter-receiver coherence and elimination of intricate and complicated planning for all signaling and waveform parameters for all transmitter and receiver pairs in an AMR system. Another enabler is a combination of recent methods and breakthroughs. The methods include estimation of the multi-static geometries using only the characteristics of the ground clutter radar echoes, predict the information gain in all transmitter-receiver pairs, select the most informative pairs for processing and provide guidelines for the receiving platform to move to increase the expected information gain. This allows improved and more robust detection and tracking continuity for small and difficult targets in a background of complicated clutter. The project will help to transform these earlier challenges into enablers for AMR systems and is conducted in collaboration with Swedish industry.

PhD position summary/title:  PhD position in on chip optical clock technology

Quantum technologies today make it possible to control atoms and ions through laser cooling, isolating them from the surrounding environment. As a result, their discrete energy levels become extremely sharp and well defined. This technology has not only improved on the current microwave clocks, but it also heralds a new generation of quantum optical clocks, whereby the frequency reference (and hence time) is derived from an optical transition instead of microwave. As a result of this four-order-of magnitude jump in frequency, more oscillations can be counted per unit of time, and the same accuracy as with microwave clocks can be reached at a fraction of the integration time (reducing it from days to seconds).

This project will investigate chip-scale frequency comb technology (microcombs) for the development of portable quantum optical clocks in the future. Microcombs are a disruptive photonic technology that allow for the generation of a frequency comb in a chip. Photonic integration brings highly desirable features such as miniaturization, stability, low-power consumption, and the possibility for low-cost fabrication. This project will provide a significant leap forward towards the practical deployment of novel portable clocks that capitalize on the unique features of quantum mechanics. This is a highly interdisciplinary project that builds upon a long-standing successful collaboration, bridging expertise in nano- and microfabrication technology, nonlinear optics, ultrafast laser science, and metrology, making an optimal use of the complimentary competences at Chalmers and the Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE).

About Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden   –Official Website

Chalmers University of Technology  is a Swedish university located in Gothenburg that focuses on research and education in technology, natural sciences, architecture, mathematics, maritime and other management areas.
The university was founded in 1829 following a donation by William Chalmers, a director of the Swedish East India Company. He donated part of his fortune for the establishment of an “industrial school”. Chalmers was run as a private institution until 1937, when the institute became a state-owned university. In 1994, the school was incorporated as an aktiebolag under the control of the Swedish Government, the faculty and the Student Union. Chalmers is one of only three universities in Sweden which are named after a person, the other two being Karolinska Institutet and Linnaeus University.
