PhD position summary/title: Doctoral researcher
A PhD position is available in the Theoretical Chemical Physics (TCP) group, led by Prof. Alexandre Tkatchenko. This PhD position belongs to PHYMOL: A Marie Skłodowska–Curie Actions Doctoral Network (MSCA DN) on intermolecular interactions. As such, the PhD candidate will enjoy a broad collaboration with world-class research groups. Dr. Marcus Neumann, CEO of the world leading company in crystal structure prediction, Avant-garde Materials Simulation Deutschland GmbH, will co-supervise this PhD project. The TCP group also routinely collaborates with Google DeepMind and leading pharmaceutical companies.
Machine learned force fields (MLFF) can reproduce the potential energy surfaces of small molecules in vacuum with the accuracy of ab-initio methods, such as density functional theory (DFT), at orders of magnitude reduced cost [1]. An open problem now is how to extend these methods to the liquid and solid phase. The main problem being that it is difficult to train or integrate long-range interactions into these force fields to reproduce intermolecular interactions. If this can be done, numerous applications become possible, such as the prediction of effective therapeutic molecules and the stable molecular crystal phases of these molecules [2]. The goal of this project is to develop novel ways to test the ability of machine learned force fields (MLFF) to capture long-range intermolecular interactions via comparison to DFT with the many body dispersion correction [3] and then to seek ways to improve the errors discovered. Day-to-day: The research will involve using a high-performance computing cluster to run DFT codes and test and develop MLFF methodologies. The student will be co-supervised by Dr. Dahvyd Wing and is expected to interact and collaborate with other PhD students and postdocs in the TCP group.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Energy Storage Rightsizing for Electric Buses

Frequent training visits to Volvo headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, are foreseen.
This PhD project addresses the question of the optimal setup on an electric bus, with primary focus on the battery and charging methods. The current lack of knowledge regarding energy consumption models has led to the prevalent but inefficient strategy of oversizing batteries, resulting in unnecessary costs and environmental externalities. The project aims to develop advanced learning mechanisms, using real-world data from electric bus fleets and applying federated learning to create energy consumption models that account for variable operating conditions, such as ambient temperature and door opening patterns. Additionally, it will explore how automation—both at the local (bus) and global (fleet) levels—can contribute to energy reduction, investigating whether isolated or system-level automation offers the greatest benefits.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Autonomous Driving Systems
The successful candidate will join the UBIX Research Group, led by Prof. Raphaël Frank, in collaboration with the CVI2 Research Group, led by Prof. Djamila Aouada. Additionally, this industrial project will be conducted in partnership with the companies emile weber and the eBus Competence Center as part of the IPBG ATLAS Programme.
This PhD project aims to develop and validate an infrastructure-aided automated driving system for electric buses at the main depot of emile weber in Luxembourg. The project will deploy sensors and communication devices at the depot to automate e-bus navigation, enhancing operational efficiency. Instead of retrofitting buses with expensive equipment, the system will utilize depot-installed technology, requiring only a communication module and a drive-by-wire system on the buses. The project’s outcome will be a proof-of-concept demonstrating the feasibility of this approach, with potential applications for broader automated driving initiatives.

PhD position summary/title: PhD en Droit constitutionnel luxembourgeois
Le/la chercheur/se en formation doctorale travaillera sous la supervision du professeur Luc Heuschling. Sa tâche principale sera de préparer une thèse de doctorat dans le domaine du droit constitutionnel luxembourgeois, au sens large. La thèse doit être effectuée à l’Université du Luxembourg ; si le sujet le justifie, une cotutelle avec une autre Université est envisageable. Des séjours de recherche à l’étranger sont également possibles et encouragés.
Tout candidat/e est invité/e à soumettre un projet de thèse étayé portant sur un sujet librement choisi de droit constitutionnel luxembourgeois ancien ou actuel (organisation de l’Etat et/ou droits fondamentaux). Le projet peut être focalisé sur un aspect du passé du droit luxembourgeois ou, à l’inverse, se focaliser sur une thématique de dogmatique juridique actuelle. Quel que soit le sujet, ancien ou actuel, celui-ci doit être contextualisé et peut/voire doit être éclairé sous un angle comparatif, en lien avec le/les systèmes juridiques étrangers pertinents. Le sujet de thèse peut également porter sur l’interaction entre le système juridique luxembourgeois et les systèmes juridiques plus larges dont faisait partie ou fait partie le Luxembourg depuis sa naissance jusqu’à aujourd’hui (Deutscher Bund, Zollverein, droits européens, droit international, etc.).

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral researcher (PhD candidate) in Computer Science
The successful applicant will be a member of the Doctoral School for Science and Engineering (DSSE) offering a Doctoral Program in Computer Science aiming to provide interdisciplinary and internationally competitive research training.
The proposed PhD project will be a continuation of research done by Jim Barthel in computational number theory and public key cryptography in the context of the PRIDE project. A possible research starting point for this PhD project is the practical evaluation of a combination of graph-based techniques with number-theoretic problems like the “simultaneous Chinese Remainder Theorem” or integer factorisation and generalizations thereof, especially practical evaluations of possible algorithms for the “Decisional Simultaneous Chinese Remaindering” problem is of interest. Suggestions for other interesting research topics in computational number theory or public key cryptography can also be discussed.
