3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cyber-Security Methods for Cyber-Safe Robotics
Summary of PhD Program:
Robot, automation, and drone applications consist of an increasing number of connected devices based on technology from different parties in the supply chain. This opens more attack vectors from a security perspective. These attacks exploit the digital and physical aspects of a robotic system. Therefore, software and hardware vulnerabilities can lead to significant security breaches. This project aims to develop models and solutions to identifying and mitigate potential threats and vulnerabilities specific to robotic systems.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mobilizing Post-Anthropocentric Climate Action
Summary of PhD Program:
The thesis will be an integral part of the SDU Climate Elite Centre project, “Mobilizing Post-Anthropocentric Climate Action: A New Root Narrative” (PACA). PACA seeks to map post-anthropocentric social theories that challenge the nature-culture divide and investigate traces of these theories in the population. It assesses the extent to which such practices and beliefs can provide a positive narrative for a new organization of production and consumption practices and, finally, the role of universities as mediators of the emergent post-anthropocentrism. This project has the ambition to develop into an international hub for research on post-anthropocentric consumption and production systems as foundational for a sustainable economy.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Flexible Integration of Electrolyzers and Power-to-X Technologies into Smart Energy Systems
Summary of PhD Program:
Flexibility is key to tackling the variability of renewable energy sources and a flexible electricity demand-side process can potentially reduce fuel production cost. Besides, the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of power-to-X technologies highly depend on the type of electrolysis technology and electrolyzer operating hours on the site. As demonstrated, flexibility in the electrolysis technology is crucial to integrate the massive fluctuating renewable capacities necessary to meet climate goals cost-effectively. This project compares the dynamic performance of different types of electrolyzers in a power-to-X system under the framework of high installed wind and solar power capacities that we will have in Denmark in the near future, and assuming the other varying background conditions, i.e. the hour-by-hour electricity price variations, seasonal variation of CO2 availability, seasonal and daily variation of district heating demand, 24-hour variations in electricity grid capacity at electrolyzer location and potential seasonal variations in heat supply from waste incineration at electrolyzer locations.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Stability of pharmaceutical suspensions
Summary of PhD Program:
Pharmaceutical suspensions have a number of uses, most pronounced as formulations for the pediatrics population as well as long acting injectibles. Suspensions are disperse systems, hence they are thermodynamically unstable. The current framework to predict the stability of disperse systems relies on the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory for aggregation of aqueous dispersions, however, there is surprising little novel investigation into the field of suspension stability and the application of AI and ML have not been extensively employed in the field.

15. Fully Funded PhD Position in Fama and Public Opinion in Kirkekampen/ The Church Struggle
Summary of PhD Program:
In medieval Europe, a person was defined by his fama . Fama includes reputation, remembrance, “what people know”, public opinion, gossip, rumour, fame and being infamous. Therefore, fama had a direct connection to a person’s political and legal status. From approx. 1200 rumors and fama gained validity as legal evidence due to papal efforts to find and combat heretics. Soon, however, popes, bishops, and kings realized that it could also be used to discipline unruly officials and subjects. The culmination came in 1302 when the French king accused the Pope of heresy based on rumors and a “public opinion” intended to undermine the Pope’s fama .
