The Remote Sensing Research Team (https://www.aalto.fi/en/remotesensing) is seeking a highly motivated doctoral researcher to work in a project “Transferable models for remote sensing of forest biomass with spaceborne lidar” funded by the Research Council of Finland.
Our project develops new methods for remote sensing of forest above-ground biomass. We will use satellite laser sensors to provide regional estimates of biomass and its change 2003–2027 for the entire European boreal forest zone. Satellite lasers can directly measure tree heights and forest canopy densities. Statistical and physically-based models are used to convert these measurements into accurate estimates of biomass. Special attention is paid to model transferability, which guarantees that the predictions are reliable for different types of forests. Regional estimates of biomass change and its components are calculated for the Nordic and Baltic countries, as well as European Russia. Our project will help to improve and harmonize the quality of European forest resource information.
The main tasks of the doctoral researcher will be to conduct scientific research on the project’s theme, and to undertake doctoral studies at Aalto University. The topic of the doctoral thesis must be linked to the use of physically-based forest reflectance models in interpretation of spaceborne lidar data, but the exact content of the thesis can be tailored based on the candidate’s interests and skills. The doctoral researcher will work in the Remote Sensing Research Team. The work will also entail close collaboration with the consortium partner at University of Eastern Finland School of Forest Sciences, as well as opportunity to collaborate with the international partners.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral researcher in next-generation inkjetable materials
The research will be in the framework of the project “3D-GRINO-PPCI, 3D Graded Index Optics Printed using Photocurable Inks”. 3D-GRINO-PPCI will deliver locally optimized polymeric materials with designed gradient compositions to tailor the performance of the optical systems well beyond the capabilities of today’s technologies. We will present a groundbreaking opportunity to replace conventional optical lenses, where material interface (form) refracts light rays, with lenses with parallel tailored refractive index distribution (graded-index GRIN), which makes it possible for the optical rays also to bend inside the optical elements. Although freeform optics have already been introduced and simple geometrically symmetric GRIN optics are possible to manufacture – separately – our unique multi-material 3D printing technology will enable simultaneous control of form and GRIN structure with accuracy, flexibility, and functionality never seen before. We will also develop optical design algorithms that will benefit from the researched materials and be able to optimize optical systems for a much smaller number of elements than ever before. One key element of the new algorithms is ‘Micro-correction of Chromatic Aberration’, which keeps all colors of white light traveling together by proper choice of newly developed photocurable ink materials with respect of the refractive indices and the Abbe numbers.
The 3D-GRINO-PPCI is a Research Council of Finland Consortia Funding between Aalto University and the University of Eastern Finland. For one of the working packages, we are seeking a highly motivated doctoral researcher to join our innovative project focused on developing next-generation inkjetable and rapidly photocuring polymeric materials for optical applications. This project aims to advance the field of optical materials by creating formulations that enable precise voxel-by-voxel manufacturing of 3D structures with pre-defined refractive index gradients.
