1. PhD scholarship in Modeling Directed Motion of Nanoparticles in the Eye with Laser Light

Summary of PhD Program:

Chronic diseases of the retina and optic nerve (CDRON) result in irreversible vision loss and eventual blindness, affecting millions of people worldwide. Treatment involves direct injection of large quantities of drugs into the vitreous humor, but most of the drugs never reach the retina at the back of the eye due to the flow that runs from the back to the front of the eye. So efficient treatment requires frequent injections, which is not without risk to the eye (e.g, inflammation) and often results in poor patient compliance. We will lay the theoretical foundation for pushing nanoparticles over centimeter-long distances against a flow for targeted treatment in ocular drug delivery. Your overall focus will be to explore and model different physical transport mechanisms for moving nanoparticles in both uniform and structured media, e.g., in gels, with laser light. These transport methods must be compatible with eye physiology and not be harmful to the eye. Key elements in the modelling will include laser beam shaping, diffusive/advective nanoparticle transport, heating of the medium, and eye biology.

6. PhD scholarship in Integrated Photonic Circuits for Quantum Number Generation

Summary of PhD Program:

The PhD project focuses on QRNGs. Random numbers are a key requirement for cryptographic schemes, they allow Monte Carlo-based simulations, and fundamental physical tests, and they are essential for the initialization of machine learning algorithms. Current RNGs are based on deterministic algorithms, thus undermining cryptographic security, as well as generating bias in the training of machine-learning algorithms. Alternatively, to these approaches, the nature of quantum mechanics, which is intrinsically random, is perfect for achieving this task. This makes QRNGs, and especially integrated QRNGs on-chip, key components for future computing and communication equipment.

19. PhD position(s) in Compositional Simulation of Reactive Transport in CO2 Storage

Summary of PhD Program:

CO2 injection into geological formations triggers complex physical and chemical interactions between fluids and minerals. They take place at different time and length scales and are critical to the evaluation of subsurface capacities, operational risks, and storage safety. To reduce the uncertainty, we need to carry out dynamic simulations describing this multiscale process with multiple physics. Although several simulators are available for simulating underground CO2 storage, there is an urgent need to improve the robustness and efficiency of CO2 storage simulation when a compositional description is used. 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 candidate 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.

3. PhD scholarship in Dynamic Traffic Assignment with Integrated Behavioural Modelling

Summary of Doctoral Project:

DTU Management at the Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a 3-year PhD position in the Network modelling group of the Division of Transport. If you are interested in urban transportation systems, have a background in transportation, logistics, mathematical modelling, behavioral modelling or operations research and wish to establish a scientific career within this field, this PhD position is the right one for you. In the project you will push the frontier by developing Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models that embed realistic and consistent behavioural modelling incorporating considerations of travel time reliability. Urban transportation networks are plagued by traffic congestion and contribute to a significant share of societal energy consumption and emissions. Addressing this critical challenge through sustainable solutions for future urban mobility requires the development of robust, realistic, and accurate models of the transportation network. DTA models area a promising approach for this, by combining behavioural models of route and departure time choice (demand) with models that capture the temporal dynamics of congestion (supply). However, the critical issue of variability in the transportation system (due to weather, incidents, special events, etc.) has not yet been addressed, and this will be the purpose of your project.

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The Electromagnetic Systems group at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) seeks a qualified candidate for a Ph.D. position in broadband MRI radiofrequency coil development. The project will be conducted in collaboration between DTU and the University of Queensland (UQ), Australia. A standard clinical MRI scanner consists of a strong electromagnet where radiofrequency transceiver with coils is used to image water molecules. Different biological tissues have different water content, therefore MRI is particularly suitable for medical diagnostics, though other applications also exist. MRI is a versatile technique and can image nuclei and molecules other than water, which opens up completely new possibilities. For example, by imaging carbon nuclei it is possible to follow metabolic processes, which can tell so much more about the function of the human body. Imaging other nuclei, however, requires additional new radio frequency coils.

17. PhD scholarship in novel routes to ammonia

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), invites applications for a PhD scholarship in characterisation of new electro-catalysts enabling electrochemically driven ammonia synthesis. The research project is part of the project “Progress” recently funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The project involves collaboration with Copenhagen University, Max Planck Institute in Germany and University of Lund, Sweden. Transforming our society to rely only on sustainable energy sources is a massive challenge. Key to success will be development of cost competitive routes to produce hydrogen via electrolysis of water/steam driven by green electricity. The hydrogen has value in itself but may, importantly, also serve as a reactant for production of ammonia. Ammonia has great importance as a fertilizer, but can also be an “energy vector” enabling emission reduction from “hard to electrify” sectors like global shipping. Hence, cost competitive routes to “green hydrogen” and “green ammonia”, not relying on use of natural gas, is in high demand.

19. PhD scholarship in Characterizing Listener Behaviour in Complex Dynamic Scenes

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The Hearing Systems Section at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) seeks a qualified candidate for a 3-year PhD position. Hearing Systems is part of the department of Health Technology. Our research is concerned with auditory signal processing and perception, speech communication, audiology, behavioural and objective measures of auditory function, computational auditory neuroscience, environmental acoustics, and hearing-instrument signal processing. The goal of this research is to understand the functioning of the human auditory system and to provide insights that are useful for technical applications, such as speech recognition systems, hearing aids, cochlear implants, and hearing diagnostics. The current project will explore listener behavior in environments with varying degrees of complexity and dynamics. Specifically, listeners will be monitored continuously using various sensors, such as motion and eye trackers, to record body and head-movement trajectories, as well as eye-gaze throughout the experimental tasks. The underlying hypothesis is that difficulties in analyzing and processing a scene will be reflected in the tracked measures and that comparing behavior across different scenes will help pinpoint which aspects of the scenes pose challenges for the listener.

20. PhD scholarship in Reinforcement Learning for Intelligent Traffic Signal Control

Summary of Doctoral Project:

Reinforcement learning (RL) constitutes a promising solution for alleviating the problem of traffic congestion and associated greenhouse gas emissions by producing adaptive traffic signal controllers that outperform conventional systems. However, the existing solutions are merely reactive. This project aims at developing a new generation of proactive traffic control approaches by integrating into a RL framework a novel fully-Bayesian context-aware traffic prediction model that can forecast the future evolution of traffic and provide uncertainty estimates for its predictions, while accounting for contextual information (e.g. about planned events, incidents and weather), traffic network flow theory and the traffic signal control actions. The core idea is that, by accounting for the effects of external factors on future traffic conditions, the RL agent can learn to be proactive and take preemptive measures to alleviate (or even mitigate) future congestion scenarios and reduce emissions.

29. PhD scholarship in fracture mechanics and solid mechanics: Element test specimens for the study on damage evolution in composites structures

Summary of Doctoral Project:

Modern wind turbine rotor blades are very large composite structures that can experience damage in the form of delamination of laminates and debonding of bondlines. There is a need for “element test” specimens for the study of damage at structural details. “Elements test” specimens are purposely-designed structures with the aim of checking the accuracy of model predictions of damage evolution in composite structures subjected to static and cyclic loading. For wind turbines blades, there is a need for such element test specimens for the study of damage at structural details. The project involves both design and simulation of damage growth in 2-4 different types of element specimens, and subsequently manufacturing and testing of the element specimens. The design and simulation of damage evolution of the element specimens will be made by the use of finite element modelling and cohesive zone modelling. Input to the simulations will be fracture mechanics properties of interfaces (e.g. mixed mode cohesive laws and fatigue crack growth rates) that are determined independently from mixed mode fracture experiments.

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The Section of Bioinformatics, DTU Health Tech is world leading within Immunoinformatics and Machine-Learning. Currently, we are seeking a highly talented and motivated PhD student within the field of Immune receptor Immunoinformatics. Identification of T and B cell epitopes plays a major role in several biotechnological and clinical tasks and is central to our understanding of the immune system. T cells scrutinize the surface of cells for foreign peptides presented in complex with MHC (Major histocompatibility complex) molecules. MHC merely presents a minor proportion of the peptides produced within a cell on the cell surface, and only a minor proportion of these (termed epitopes) are recognized by T cells. Likewise, antibodies (or B cell receptors) recognize their molecular targets, termed antigens, in a highly specific manner via interactions between their binding site (paratope) and a specific region of the antigen (the epitope). Identifying the rules underlying the properties of these epitopes and their interaction with the target immune receptors is thus at the foundation for our basic understanding of adaptive immunity.
