19. PhD candidate in human geography

Summary of Doctoral Project:

There is a need for new theory and accompanying language for today’s displacement settings. Current theoretical frameworks and policies do not capture the realities of displaced persons stuck without solutions in sight. With protracted conflicts, permanent losses of livelihoods, and an increasingly hostile refugee politics in Europe and beyond towards non-European refugees, ‘never-ending displacement’ in precarious conditions has become the norm for most of the 86.5 million people fleeing conflict worldwide. This has put global displacement policies and refugee studies at a crossroads. To solve the conundrum, there is increasing emphasis on combining development and humanitarian approaches, collaborating with local actors and hosts, and promoting self-reliance and area-based assistance for sustainable solutions. However, displaced people are seldom included in ideas, plans, and decisions about the future in the places they inhabit, even though they contribute to present and future development trajectories of those places.

We have a vacancy for a 3-year PhD candidate in digital supply chain management at Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering in the Production Management research group. For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree. The advent of digitalization and Industry4.0 (I4.0) technologies is considered to be able to revolutionize the world of supply chain (SC) and the practices of supply chain management (SCM) (especially when dealing with disruptive risks), leading to the development of the so-called digital supply chains. For example, Additive Manufacturing can unlock the potential for mass customization and enable a shift from traditional centralized manufacturing to distributed manufacturing which can concur to limit the impact of SC disruptions. Digital Twins, then, can enable to map supply network in real time and ensure end-to-end visibility, and they can hence be used for planning and real-time control decisions.

43. PhD Position in ionic plastic crystals for thermal energy storage and novel electronics

Summary of Doctoral Project:

Society is undergoing an energy revolution, decisively shifting away from fossil fuels. While much of the focus is on batteries, thermal energy storage will play a major role as complimentary energy storage technology. In addition, the materials used for the electronic components in devices such as capacitors, needs to be evolved to enable recycling and circular economies. Ionic plastic crystals are supramolecular materials made from small globular organic and inorganic molecular ions. Their rare combination of long-range crystal structure and local molecular orientational freedom enables properties like piezoelectricity and ferroelectricity, and high entropy phase transitions. It is this unique set of properties that makes them extremely interesting for thermal energy storage, caloric cooling devices, transducers, actuators and sensors – all essential components for our energy future.

Summary of Doctoral Project:

At the Department of Information Security and Communication Technology we have a vacancy for a PhD Candidate in “Dynamic Interdependency Models for Critical Infrastructures”. Graph and combinatorial models representing dependencies and interdependencies and flows of resources have been studied intensively also with a view to representing susceptibility of represented structures to attacks. However, we are interested to study highly sparse dynamic graphs and structures within these as well as efficient algorithms that allow the determination particularly of local properties. This is motivated by the application domains of modern infrastructure networks whose topology will usually be dynamic and may only be partially known; this would render insights into properties that would e.g. indicate vulnerabilities obsolete or wrong. The ability to obtain timely insights also for large networks would hence allow targeted responses and resilience mechanisms that are widely applicable.

13. The Department of Ocean Operations and Civil Engineering has a vacancy for a PhD position in Structural Health Monitoring of coastal structures

Summary of Doctoral Project:

Norway has about 130 Ferry connections, and they transport each year about 20 million vehicles and 40 million people. The ferry connections are critical components of the transport infrastructure, and any loss of service has economical, social and safety- impact on the society. Ferry quays consists of two primary structural components, the ferry slip and the surrounding quay structure. The ferry quays are subject to complex loading scenarios over their service life that are influenced by environmental conditions, traffic, frequency of ferry arrivals, ferry operation and type/size of ferry. The quays are also frequently subject to structural damage and the forces acting on the ferry dock during docking operations are uncertain. As a consequence of limited knowledge on the true forces acting on the ferry quay, one has limited control of the degree of utilization of designed capacity which are calculated based on regulatory codes. This uncertainty propagates to the fatigue service life, and further on to maintenance and repair.

36. PhD position in biophysics/molecular medicine at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The PhD student will work on the project “Stratification of cancer patients for ultrasound-mediated chemotherapy” funded by the The Central Norway Regional Health Authority. Ultrasound focused on tumours in combination with microbubbles injected in the blood is reported to improve the uptake of drugs in tumours and improve the therapeutic response. However, this treatment is not successful for all patients, and the aim of the current project is to understand why tumours respond differently and to identify which patients will benefit from ultrasound-mediated chemotherapy. To be able to stratify patients for such treatment, predictive biomarkers are needed. At St.Olav’s Hospital two clinical studies are ongoing, treating patients with chemotherapy and ultrasound combined with microbubbles. Identifying predictive biomarkers will be based on characterizing molecular markers in biopsies from patient’s tumours and performing bioinformatic and statistical analysis. The project also includes preclinical studies in mice, analysing tumours growing in mice for potential biomarkers.

In models of complex and large-scale physical systems, the number of variables in the mathematical description of the system might be overly large, thereby requiring a large computational budget for performing simulations and sensitivity analysis of key system performance indicators. Although the simulation of such systems may be feasible, optimizing their design or operation might be challenging, especially in the presence of uncertainty and when system derivatives are not trusted. In such cases, data-driven optimization methods which do not require derivative information are often a practical alternative to seek ways to improve production and design strategies effectively. The focus of the project will be on handling uncertainty and making use of process data in derivative-free optimization. The uncertainty typically comes from incomplete information about the system, mismatches between the actual process and corresponding models, and measurement noise. The project is a part of BRU21, the Research and Innovation Program in Digital and Automation Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industry, and the application domain within the project is field development optimization in the petroleum industry. However, the optimization techniques developed will apply to a wide range of applications, for instance energy systems.

38. PhD Candidate within Marine Hydrodynamics related to the topic: Wave- and current load effects of moored closed aquaculture cages

Summary of Doctoral Project:

With motivation to avoid sea-lice contamination and reducing the environmental footprint of fish farming, closed fish containment systems (closed cages) have been developed and installed at several locations in Norway. Although most relevant for sheltered locations, wave and current exposure must still be considered. Common for the different concepts is the presence of a free surface inside the containment, typically covering a large fraction of the structure’s water-plane area. The restricted free surface means sloshing will occur when the cage is set into motion, for instance from external wave exposure. Sloshing has a significant influence on the structural responses and mooring loads, as documented in several research projects. Despite several studies, closed cages are still considered novel structures.

39. PhD Candidate within Co-simulations of Maritime Systems

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The project is based on experience from former successful research-projects like ViProma and Open Simulations Platform – OSP, which builds on the FMI free standard and which clearly demonstrated the potential and built valuable experience using the co-simulation approach for such maritime total system simulations. The required improvements now focused is consistency in description and modelling of environmental conditions (waves, currents, wind), large subsystems connectivity and challenges with especially tightly coupled subsystems, handling of different coordinate systems when coupling different models of different origin and multiple algorithmic issues related to accuracy and stability of co-simulation of complex maritime systems and operations.
