PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in space physics
The goal of the project is to advance our understanding of solar wind formation and energization processes. We use in situ observations of the solar wind by the NASA Parker Solar Probe spacecraft launched 2018 and according to NASA being the first-ever mission to “touch” the Sun. Solar wind acceleration occurs over a larger height interval and Parker Solar Probe allows for the first time sampling regions where significant solar wind acceleration is ongoing locally. The solar wind formation is a very dynamic process and the project plans to quantify the relative role played in it by localized dynamic structures such as switchbacks, current sheets and flux ropes forming at close distances to the Sun. The project particularly focuses on the regions around the critical Alfvén surface, an important region where the solar wind goes from being sub-Alfvénic at small distances to being super-Alfvénic at larger distances. The science questions to be answered are how the properties of switchbacks, currents sheets and flux ropes change across the region surrounding the critical Alfvén surface and what are the new physical processes appearing in the regions close to and below the critical Alfvén surface?

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in numerical algorithms for applications in oceanography
Computation is nowadays viewed as the third scientific tool as a complement to theory & experiment. New data analytics tools can be seen as the fourth approach, which lately has had tremendous impact on problems outside the reach of previous scientific techniques. Scientific problems within computational sciences and data analytics are often formulated using the language of linear algebra, whose solution can be computed with numerical linear algebra. In this project you will obtain the opportunity to work with algorithms for data analytics and numerical linear algebra specifically designed for high-dimensional data originating from oceanography. The ocean has absorbed 90% of the warming due to increasing greenhouse gases in the last decades. Ocean processes like algae blooms have negative impacts on coastal cities and industries. Scientific problems in oceanography feature high-dimensional time series and multiple-dimensional space series, and development of tailored high-dimensional data analysis algorithms is a priority. Techniques to develop these algorithms will consist of a combination of algorithms from numerical linear algebra, for example matrix functions, domain specific techniques from oceanography as well as machine learning techniques, such as deep learning. No prerequisites in oceanography is required.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Power electronics
The variability of renewable energy sources and the localization, for instance offshore or in remote sites in the society, requires a grid that can handle large power variations over large distances. If our society should exploit as much renewable energy as possible highvoltage direct current (HVDC) grids will be necessary. This grid will have different voltage levels as different parts of the grid will be interconnected at different instants in time. In order to control the power flows between the voltage levels DC-DC converters will be necessary. The solutions that are available today are costly and voluminous. The latter is a big drawback if the equipment is located on an offshore platform. The project aims at generating new knowledge on how to design DC-DC converters for HVDC grids such that the highest possible energy efficiency, compactness, and cost-effectiveness can be achieved.

A particular challenge when simulating large systems is the enormous amount of data that need to be collected and processed. For example, to study the Nordic electricity market or the European energy system, it would not be possible to model each power plant in detail. Therefore, it is necessary to aggregate similar power plants into so-called equivalents. In order to get reliable simulation results, it is important to set up equivalents in such a manner that they correctly represent the technical possibilities and limitations (in terms of energy storage, possibility to control the electricity generation etc.) of the underlying resource.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in space physics
The sun emits not only electromagnetic radiation, but also a stream of ionized gas, a plasma, the so-called solar wind. The solar wind interacts with the space environment of the planets in the solar system, and creates e.g. the northern lights at Earth. Another effect is that the solar wind slows down from supersonic to subsonic velocity at the bow shocks that form around the planets, similar to the shock around a supersonic plane. A phenomenon that occurs around the bow shocks is called Short Large-Amplitude Magnetic Structures (SLAMS). SLAMS may have several important effects on how the space environment around the planets is formed, e.g. by contributing to acceleration of ions and electrons to high energies. In this project we will use space probes that make measurements at Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter to compare the properties of SLAMS at these planets. In this way, we will learn much more about how SLAMS work and how they affect our space environment. It is also a preparation for future exoplanet exploration.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Power electronics
A fossil-free society requires that important industrial processes and specific transports are provided with hydrogen. Great amounts of hydrogen have to be produced and it has to be made using renewable electricity. This electricity is often produced at great distance from hydrogen consumption centers, which indicates that high-voltage direct current supply is a reasonable solution. As electrolyzers are supplied from a low voltage, a modular technology converting very high direct voltages to comparably low voltages is necessary. No such technology is available today, and the project, therefore, will search for realistic solutions providing high energy efficiency and cost efficiency. As Hitachi Energy is part of the project group, a fortunate project may lead to a product development, and a strengthened Swedish industry on an enormous market.

About KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden – Official Website
KTH Royal Institute of Technology, abbreviated KTH, is a public research university in Stockholm, Sweden. KTH conducts research and education within engineering and technology, and is Sweden’s largest technical university. Currently, KTH consists of five schools with four campuses in and around Stockholm.
KTH was established in 1827 as Teknologiska Institutet (Institute of Technology), and had its roots in Mekaniska skolan (School of Mechanics) that was established in 1798 in Stockholm. But the origin of KTH dates back to the predecessor to Mekaniska skolan, the Laboratorium Mechanicum, which was established in 1697 by Swedish scientist and innovator Christopher Polhem. Laboratorium Mechanicum combined education technology, a laboratory and an exhibition space for innovations. In 1877 KTH received its current name, Kungliga Tekniska högskolan (KTH Royal Institute of Technology). The King of Sweden Carl XVI Gustaf is the High Protector of KTH.
KTH is the highest ranked technical university in Sweden. It is ranked top 100 in the world among all universities in the 2020 QS World University Rankings.
