(01) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD candidate to investigate the Impact of Consumer Flexibility on planning of multi-energy districts

You are a highly motivated and dedicated candidate with an MSc degree in Energy, Mechanical, Chemical-, Environmental or Electrical engineering (or related field such as energy economics). You should have a profound and interdisciplinary knowledge on ongoing energy transition topics particularly multi-energy systems, energy conversion and storage technologies. Moreover, you have strong programming, modelling and data analysis skills in Python and/or R. Experience with the formulation and implementation of mathematical optimization problems can give you a competitive edge. The candidate should have excellent written and oral communication skills in English. Finally, you have not lived for more than 12 months out of previous 36 months in Switzerland.

(02) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD position on optimizing cooling processes and supply chains of heat-sensitive biological products by digital twins

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 of Biomimetic Membranes and Textiles is a pioneer in physics-based modeling at multiple scales. We bridge the virtual to the real world by multi-parameter sensing and creating digital twins of heat-sensitive biological systems (food, humans) that can live together with their real-world counterparts. This project aims to better identify how perishable biological products react inside cold chain unit operations and to pinpoint why some products decay faster. For that purpose, we develop digital twins of the cargo, based on measured air temperature and humidity data in cold chains by commercial sensors, and deploy them in end-to-end virtual supply chains.

This project also aims to better understand the tradeoffs related to cooling technology for several use cases, for example, with smallholder farmers in the Global South. For that, detailed supply chain assessments will be performed. The work will enable us to identify better how individual perishable products react inside a cargo of millions in cold chain unit operations and to pinpoint why some products decay faster than others. This information will be used to quantify the environmental and economic impact of optimized cooling solutions and refrigerated supply chain solutions.

(03) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD Student in 1D moiré physics

This project aims to harness the remarkable properties of 1D moiré systems to develop novel device architectures to advance our understanding of strongly correlated quantum systems. The central goal is to fabricate quantum devices hosting heterostructures of ultra-long graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). The charge transport properties of these devices will be investigated using a combination of conductance and thermocurrent spectroscopy in the presence of large magnetic fields and at cryogenic temperatures.

(04) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD Student in the field of Hybrid Metamaterials for Bone Replacement

As populations around the world continue to age, societies face a significant healthcare challenge: the increasing prevalence of bone fractures among the elderly. This not only affects the quality of life for millions of individuals but also places a tremendous economic burden on healthcare systems, as the costs associated with treating bone fractures are escalating rapidly. This growing demand underscores the critical need for advanced medical implants that provide effective, long-lasting solutions to support bone healing. Developing innovative implants that can better integrate with the body, reduce complications, and improve patient outcomes is essential in addressing this urgent healthcare challenge.
Though rooted in medical applications, this challenge is largely a materials challenge. Existing medical implants are dominated by rigid structures that often lack the adaptability and sophistication required for dynamic biological environments. Despite the promising potential of soft hydrogels in combination with in situ mineralization that could offer greater flexibility and biocompatibility, research in this area remains limited, with numerous fabrication challenges yet to be addressed.
This proposal aims to bridge the gap in current medical implant technology by designing, fabricating, and testing biomimetic, compliant metastructures made of hydrogel-ceramic nanocomposites capable of mechano-directed bone formation and designed to closely match the chemical, mechanical, and morphological properties of native bone. The role of the PhD student at Empa will be the development of synthesis processes using light-based 3D printing of hydrogel-ceramic composites and the identification of process-structure-property relationships enabling the efficient design and synthesis of complex metastructures for bone replacement.
