PhD position summary/title: PhD student position on advanced granulated ceramic powder feedstocks
Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting-edge research, Empa’s around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.
Empa’s Laboratory for High Performance Ceramics is involved in the scientific research, development and characterization of advanced ceramics, composites and inorganic powder-based materials for structural and functional applications.
You will study and characterize the powder and formulation dependent granulation process to develop advanced ceramic powder feedstocks for the dry pressing of precision ceramic parts. The aim is to corroborate the interplay between the process-chemistry-powder parameters towards high-performance feedstock developments overcoming specific and recurrent issues in shaping operations of our industrial project partner. At the interplay between fundamental and applied research, the goal of the PhD project is to understand the how the organic additives chemistry and mixture plays in the process variability and sensitivity and investigate the underlying mechanisms towards a lean and sustainable manufacturing of precision ceramic parts. The project results will be directly evaluated in industrial settings, establishing a feedback loop between lab scale observations and statistical relevance in production environments.
PhD position summary/title: PhD student position in the field of durability of wooden structures
Your tasks will focus on the design and operation of experiments to investigate the failure mechanisms in wooden structures. This will require the implementation of mechanical testing combined with a variety of sensors to follow changes in the structures. You will use a range of surface analytical techniques to characterize the detected changes. You will work closely with another PhD student and a post-doc to collectively investigate the failure mechanisms and the generation of high-quality sensor data.
PhD position summary/title: PhD position in 3D X-ray histopathology for recurring thyroid carcinomas
The PhD research will be entailing an international recurrence case study and focuses on applying and optimizing 3D X-ray virtual histology methods by micro-CT for recurring thyroid tumors. The acquired and already existing database will be used to further develop ML models for the automated detection of clinically relevant markers. The goal is to develop the technique towards potential clinical use to enable precision medicine diagnostics for the patient and couple it with high-field MRI imaging to extend towards in-vivo applications. The project is interdisciplinary and the PhD student will work in close collaboration researchers and clinical experts from the University of Bern.
Your contribution:
Application and further development of 3D virtual histopathology by X-ray phase contrast micro-CT for recurring thyroid carcinoma cases using FFPE blocks
Further development of ML tools and models for the automated detection of clinically relevant morphological features for the diagnostics of such tumors
Establishment of a unique 3D micro-CT histology data base for recurrent thyroid carcinomas
Data management, data treatment
Extension and coupling with high-field MRI technology towards in-vivo diagnostics
PhD position summary/title: PhD position on “Multi-constituent nanopastes for sinter-bonding”
The Laboratory of Joining Technologies and Corrosion at Empa in Dübendorf drives innovations in joining technologies and corrosion management to enable evolution towards increasingly efficient, reliable and sustainable material technologies.
Joining is a key-enabling technology for advanced manufacturing. In order to address increasingly complex demands on joining (dissimilar materials combinations, miniaturisation, extreme operation conditions, thermal management issues, life-cycle considerations and sustainability,…), nano-micro-joining (NMJ) aims at utilising nanoscale, out-of-equilibrium effects for joining purposes, e.g. to achieve joints with higher operation temperature at lower joining temperature. A major NMJ research effort is the development of nanoparticle pastes (nanopastes) for sinter-bonding. To support our research activities in this field, we are looking for a PhD candidate for the development of novel multi-constituent nanopastes. Central questions are suitable paste chemistries and the interaction between organic and in-organic components, oxidation control, as well as the feasibility and application potential of multi-constituent nanopastes. This PhD project runs over 4 years with a final degree granted by ETH Zurich.
