PhD position summary/title: Doctoral Researcher in Converter-Dominated Power Transmission Systems
We are looking for a Doctoral Researcher/PhD student for a project investigating the stability of converter-dominated power transmission systems. You will assess how the dynamics, stability and characteristics of a wide power transmission system change when large amounts of IBRs, such as wind and solar power and batteries are integrated into the system. You will especially focus on small-signal analysis of converter-driven stability. Various issues related to converter-driven stability have been observed recently in real power transmission systems and they may risk the stability of the system in some cases. Your main tools will be PSCAD simulation software, MATLAB and possibly PSS/E and we value previous experience in power system simulations and analysis.
The work will be done in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Aalto University, in collaboration with Fingrid (Finnish Transmission System Operator). In the project, you can develop your skills in modeling, simulation and analysis of power systems and become an expert of converter-dominated power systems.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral researcher, Characterization of wood nanostructure with X-ray scattering and machine learning
A detailed picture of the structure of wood cell walls is highly desired to accelerate the development of new, sustainable applications from this abundant renewable raw material. We are currently developing machine learning based methods to analyze and interpret large quantities of X-ray scattering data from wood. These methods would enable extracting new information on the hierarchical structure of wood, including its variation in nature and due to different processes.
We are searching for a doctoral researcher to work in the NNxWOOD (2021-2026) and WoodCensus (2024-2026) projects funded by the Research Council of Finland. Both of these ongoing projects develop and utilize machine learning based approaches for automatizing the analysis of X-ray scattering data from wood samples. The WoodCensus project is a collaboration between Aalto University and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, involving also international partners.
Your role is to utilize machine learning based tools to analyze large quantities of X-ray scattering (small/wide-angle X-ray scattering, SAXS, WAXS) data from wood samples and interpret them in the context of wood nanostructure. You may also participate in scattering experiments using laboratory X-ray sources and state-of-the-art synchrotron facilities (e.g., MAX IV) or contribute to further development of the machine learning based data analysis methods. The work involves scientific programming and eventually working in a high-performance computing environment. The position is based at the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems of Aalto University/School of Chemical Engineering (Otaniemi Campus, Espoo, Finland), in the Biobased Materials Structure research group led by Academy Research Fellow, Dr. Paavo Penttilä. The inspiring and international research environment offers high-quality infrastructure, and the work is supported by national and international collaborators and the FinnCERES Flagship Programme of the Research Council of Finland.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral Researcher, Transformation of Urban Mobility Systems
The Spatial Planning and Transportation Engineering research group is seeking highly motivated and creative doctoral researchers who would undertake research in Transformation of Urban Mobility Systems. Mobility is interpreted here as socio-techno-ecological phenomenon, broader than concepts such as traffic or transport. The doctoral research topic is not fixed in advance but is rather open to framing based on the applicant’s motivation. Special emphasis is placed on research that will be path-breaking by deviating from the current mainstream transport engineering paradigm. Thus, applicants are strongly encouraged to not submit proposals on conventional topics such as traffic safety, traffic management, or traditional discrete choice modeling. In contrast, the applicants are strongly encouraged to cross at least one disciplinary boundary and base their thinking in concepts from other disciplines than traditional transport engineering. Candidates will be evaluated highly if they show capability for critical problem framing and analysis, hand in hand with the creative and solution-oriented thinking.
Some example of the potential research topics, but not limited to and not in order of importance, include: development of speculative foresight methods based on solar punk imaginaries, development of system dynamics models for more-than-human impact assessment, historical analysis of unconscious norms in mobility cultures, moral assessment of technological policy, analysis of governance-planning cultures across governance levels, analysis of the influence of media or art on mobility discourses, analysis of non-violent civil disobedience movements, analysis of education needs for the next generation planners, development of education materials for current professionals, etc.

About Aalto University, Finland –Official Website
Aalto University is a university located in Espoo, Finland. It was established in 2010 as a merger of three major Finnish universities: the Helsinki University of Technology (established 1849), the Helsinki School of Economics (established 1904), and the University of Art and Design Helsinki (established 1871). The close collaboration between the scientific, business and arts communities is intended to foster multi-disciplinary education and research. The Finnish government, in 2010, set out to create a university that fosters innovation, merging the three institutions into one.
The university is composed of six schools with close to 17,500 students and 4,000 staff members, making it Finland’s second largest university. The main campus of Aalto University is located in Otaniemi, Espoo. Aalto University Executive Education operates in the district of Töölö, Helsinki. In addition to the Greater Helsinki area, the university also operates its Bachelor’s Programme in International Business in Mikkeli and the Metsähovi Radio Observatory in Kirkkonummi.
Aalto University’s operations showcase Finland’s experiment in higher education. The Aalto Design Factory, Aalto Ventures Program and Aalto Entrepreneurship Society (Aaltoes), among others, drive the university’s mission for a radical shift towards multidisciplinary learning and have contributed substantially to the emergence of Helsinki as a hotbed for startups.Aaltoes is Europe’s largest and most active student run entrepreneurship community that has founded major concepts such as the Startup Sauna accelerator program and the Slush startup event.
The university is named in honour of Alvar Aalto, a prominent Finnish architect, designer and alumnus of the former Helsinki University of Technology, who was also instrumental in designing a large part of the university’s main campus in Otaniemi.
