PhD position summary/title: PhD Stipend in Semantic GNSS Reflectometry (GNSS-R) for Scalable Real-Time Earth Observation
The PhD project is a part of the research project “SATELLITE CONSTELLATIONS FOR MASSIVE EARTH OBSERVATION (MASSIV-EO)” funded by the Technical Faculty of IT and Design of Aalborg University. The purpose of MASSIV-EO is to research on architectures and methods for the real-time delivery of EO data from dense nanosatellite/CubeSat constellations and to develop innovative GNSS-based sensing methods and AI models to detect a variety of Earth surface processes. This aim is pursued through a collaboration between the Department of Sustainability and Planning and Department of Electronic Systems.
The topic of this PhD position is to explore GNSS Reflectometry (GNSS R) as a novel, low cost, low power bistatic remote sensing technique optimized for nanosatellite platforms. GNSS R leverages signals of opportunity from existing global navigation satellite systems to retrieve key geophysical parameters, offering a viable pathway toward high density, high resolution Earth observation.
The core research problem of this position is to determine whether GNSS R, when deployed on CubeSat platforms, can produce reliable, scientifically meaningful, and operationally useful geophysical measurements at temporal and spatial resolutions that surpass those of existing EO systems, while operating within the strict mass, power, and processing constraints of nanosatellites. Addressing this problem requires new methodologies for instrument design, signal processing, calibration, error characterization, and constellation level data integration.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in Human–Robot Interaction in Clinical Practice (HCC)
The main tasks for this PhD project consist of combining empirical studies in healthcare environments, such as observations and interviews, with prototype design and development. The project will develop new knowledge on how robots in clinical settings can communicate intentions, support collaboration, and are experienced by human users.
The PhD project is part of a broader interdisciplinary research initiative on human-robot collaboration in healthcare conducted jointly by the Department of Sustainability and Planning and the Department of Computer Science at Aalborg University. While this PhD project focuses on technical research on interaction technologies and robotic systems, the broader initiative also includes the socio-technical and organisational aspects of human-robot collaboration. The candidate will therefore collaborate with researchers across departments and contribute to shared case studies and interdisciplinary research activities.
In addition to research activities, the PhD fellow will contribute to teaching and supervision within the programmes at the Department of Computer Science at Aalborg University, such as Information Technology and Digitalisation and Application Development. Teaching activities may include supervision of student projects and participation in courses related to human-computer interaction and software engineering.

PhD position summary/title: PhD stipend in Integrating Social Resilience and Building Heritage
This interdisciplinary PhD project addresses the urgent challenge of integrating urban heritage and increasing building transformation with future urban resilience strategies. Yet, to date, research on urban resilience has primarily focused on environmental and technological dimensions. Furthermore, building heritage and adaptive reuse projects often exclude social vulnerabilities and ignore the affective involvement by wider local communities. With point of departure in these two dilemmas, the PhD candidate will collaborate towards the shared goal of foregrounding social resilience, and addressing relationships between people and space, as well as experimenting with modes of citizen engagement and local ownership. This could for instance involve investigating how adaptive design relates to emotional attachment and social interdependence across a building’s lifespan, including when buildings change functions, owners, and inhabitants.
The overarching aim is to investigate circularity connecting the building practices to people and places, opening up the realm of social interactions, relations, rituals, habits, values, and ethical commitments.
