PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in Engineering Self-assembling Peptide-based Biomaterials for Modulation of Macrophages
This project aims to develop new injectable self-assembling peptides (SAPs) biomaterials that simultaneously: i) possess improved adhesion to local tissues in vivo, ii) exhibit controlled degradation matching the desired regeneration outcome, and iii) allow tissue regeneration by enabling controlled immune cells invasion and progression of inflammation from neighbouring tissues. Following injury, inflammation is the trigger of tissue repair, however, chronic inflammation is detrimental. The persistent inflammatory nature of tendinopathy contributes to localized tissue damage, often developing to a low-grade chronic inflammation with recurring tears. The main goal of this position is development of an innovative therapeutic strategy utilizing temporally modulating SAPs biomaterials to guide healthy regeneration of tendon tissues via modulation of macrophage response.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Positions in Participatory Design Futuring Fabulation of Sustainable Futures with Youth and Local Communities
The green transition demands collective envisioning of transformative solutions. Climate change’s rising sea levels and storm flooding threaten much of Denmark’s land, requiring collective shifts in land use. Proposed solutions such as playgrounds or farmland for storm drainage demand collective discussion with diverse stakeholders, including children and youth. Denmark is well positioned for the green transition with historical and ongoing cooperative sustainability efforts. Meanwhile, AI may offer innovation for sustainability, but AI uses so much water, electricity, and minerals. To consider these tradeoffs, AI education should include holistic understanding of AI’s benefits and risks.
This project offers a unique approach and interesting research challenge combining sustainability, AI education, and design futuring with children.
