1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computational Prediction of Nuclear Fission Products Behavior in a Molten Salt Reactor
Summary of PhD Program:
A 3-year PhD scholarship concerned with the use of computer simulation for predicting fission products (FP) behavior – such as solubility – in a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) is available at DTU Chemistry under the supervision of Professor Klaus Braagaard Møller [1]. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with the Copenhagen-based MSR-developer company Seaborg Technologies [2].
The relevance of nuclear power for the European and global energy challenge was recently affirmed in the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities, which applies from January 2023 [3]. Amongst the modern nuclear reactor designs proposed for the advent of clean, safe, and peaceful nuclear technology, the MSR technology holds the promise of generating cheaper-than-coal, stable and carbon-neutral energy in a modular and scalable fashion.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Behavioural Experiments with Tradable Credits for Mobility – The Green Token Project
Summary of PhD Program:
The Green Token Project focuses on lowering externalities from transport through tradable credit schemes (TCS) for personal mobility management. Emission trading in demand management have successfully been implemented in other economic sectors. Existing efforts of TCS for mobility management reside in promising theoretical studies or less-realistic behavioural surveys. Understanding the behavioural and economic implications of such systems and their impacts on performance remains critical for possibly moving this solution forward.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Compositional Simulation of Reactive Transport in CO2 Storage
Summary of PhD Program:
Centre for Energy Resources Engineering (CERE) atDTU Chemistry is seeking talented PhD students to contribute to our exciting CO2 storage research in the project Compositional Simulation of Reactive Transport in CO2 Storage (CompReact). In this project, we aim to advance CO2 storage simulation technology by combining state-of-the-art equilibrium calculation algorithms with compositional simulation. We intend to take advantage of the recent development in simultaneous chemical and phase equilibrium calculation to improve the speed and reliability of CO2 storage simulation significantly. The candidates will work on integrating the novel chemical and phase equilibrium calculation algorithm into an in-house compositional simulator to simulate CO2 storage in both saline aquifers and depleted petroleum reservoirs.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in integrated blue optical phased array on thin-film lithium niobate platform for underwater optical communication
Summary of PhD Program:
We are seeking a candidate for a PhD position to research integrated blue optical phased array (OPA) on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform, which can enable solid-state optical beam steering and will be used for the next-generation photonic chip-based UOWC system. TFLN platform is extremely promising for the UOWC application given its high transparency at blue-green light wavelength, high electro-optical coefficient, and low loss, allowing OPA-based underwater communications in a high speed.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Applied Stem Cell Cultivation
Summary of PhD Program:
This is a perfect position to make your mark in the stem cell field. The project topic is scalable stem cell manufacturing, specifically for the production of stem cell derived NK cells. This is currently a major bottleneck preventing affordable access to novel stem cell based therapies. It is a 3-year PhD position in the DigitSTEM initiative: A four-year research collaboration between The Technical University of Denmark (DTU), The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Medicine (renew) at University of Copenhagen, and Bioneer A/S that aims at developing new in vitro disease models and cell therapies using human induced pluripotent stem cells.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Uncertainty Quantification for Deep Learning
Summary of PhD Program:
One of the central challenges facing modern machine learning is to understand and quantify uncertainty to ensure that AI-driven solutions deliver accurate and trustworthy insights. In this project, our goal is to develop novel methods for uncertainty quantification in deep neural networks. In particular, we will focus on graph neural networks applied to the problem of molecular discovery. We envision that your role could be focused on developing and scaling techniques such stochastic Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in amino acid optimization of fish feed
Summary of PhD Program:
DTU Aqua offers a 3-year PhD position in fish nutrition. Your overall focus will be on dietary nutrient optimization including amino acid uptake and utilization aiming at optimizing diets and reducing discharge of nitrogen from aquaculture. You will be employed in the Section for Aquaculture located at DTU’s satellite campus in Hirtshals at the scenic west coast of Denmark. Here, you will gain scientific experience in nutrient uptake and utilization, digestive enzyme activity, and the coupling between plasma amino acid availability and protein synthesis. You will work with nearby colleagues, and with both academic and industrial partners in Denmark.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Supramolecular and Bioorganic Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
A 3-year PhD scholarship in supramolecular and bioorganic chemistry is available at the Technical University of Denmark. Join the research group of Associate Professor Sophie Beeren to explore conceptually new ways of exploiting enzymes for chemical synthesis. The project will explore the use of enzyme-catalysed reactions in templated dynamic covalent synthesis – combining supramolecular chemistry and enzymology in a biotechnological approach to oligosaccharide synthesis. This methodology will be used towards the synthesis of novel oligosaccharide-based macrocycles, foldamers and mechanically interlocked structures.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Magnetothermal energy harvesting from waste heat
Summary of PhD Program:
To harvest this low grade waste heat, we can make use of magnetic materials, as the magnetic properties of these will depend on temperature – cold materials will be magnetic, while hot materials will not. By changing the temperature of two magnetic materials using an alternating stream of waste heat in contact with these, the magnetic flux through a set of coils can be changed, thereby producing electricity – this is known as a magnetothermal process. This idea has existed since it was described by Nikola Tesla in 1889, but new powerful magnets and a novel design technique will allow us in this project to finally realize an efficient device for harvesting low grade waste heat. Your role as a PhD student will be to design, model and build an experimental magnetothermal energy harvesting device setup where we can test new designs of the various sub-components of the systems. The project has many aspects. You will work on building the device and testing this, but working on a numerical model of the system is also a potential option.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Network Optimisation for Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) Development
Summary of PhD Program:
With the increasing transport demand, traffic pressure on existing infrastructure has grown significantly; a trend that is unlikely to change significantly as transportation links with economic growth. Unfortunately, the transport sector also generates several negative externalities, and it is one of the few economic sectors that have not seen a significant decline in emissions. Accordingly, the European Commission indicated CCAM as a strategic asset to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations and reduce negative environmental impacts on the environment. CCAM is not only expected to be more efficient than conventional mobility solutions (e.g. conventional vehicles) but also allows the development of entirely new mobility services, such as autonomous on-demand responsive transport (DRT), that can serve different typologies of users and completely revolutionise our mobility ecosystems.
