PhD position summary/title:– PhD Student in Generative Modelling of Conversational Dynamics
This project aims to create generative models of spoken conversation that enable speaking machines to adapt their conversation style over time, in the same natural manner that we humans do. To make this a reality, you will perform self-supervised learning of aspects such as speech patterns, rhythm, and intonation from human dialogues, and use the results to build better, adaptive text-to-speech systems. This represents a new way to integrate text-to-speech technology, dialogue systems, and generative machine learning. By being speaker-agnostic, the approach seeks to do this without propagating existing biases, to create engaging and inclusive human-computer interactions.

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral student in Multimodal AI for Human-Robot Interaction
We are looking for a motivated PhD student for the WASP WARA Media and Language project “BELLA: Building Expressive Language for Likeable Agents” at KTH Royal Institute of Technology’s Department of Intelligent Systems, Division of Speech, Music, and Hearing (TMH).
This project aims to enhance Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) through embodied AI by integrating multimodal social cues and task-related actions into foundation models, enabling more natural and human-like communication. While Large Language Models have advanced AI significantly, current systems lack understanding and generation of crucial social cues like facial expressions, gestures, and gaze direction, as well as the ability to incorporate task-specific behaviors. This project aims to bridge these gaps.

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral student in Conversational AI
We are looking for a PhD student interested in Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing and Speech Technology, that will work in a newly funded project at the Department of Speech, Music and Hearing) within the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at KTH. The project is financed by the Swedish AI-program WASP (Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program)), which offers a graduate school with research visits, partner universities, and visiting lecturers.
The newly started project is titled “Thinking Fast and Slow: Real-time Speech Generation for Conversational AI”. The aim of the project is to develop AI-models capable of generating spoken responses in an incremental fashion, mirroring the nuanced and dynamic nature of human conversation. Our approach is inspired by our previous pioneering efforts in the realm of incremental and predictive models for dialogue, which have laid the groundwork for this project. We aim to construct a dual-component system, based on large language models, consisting of a ‘System I’ module for the rapid generation of response prefixes and a ‘System II’ for crafting more considered and detailed responses. This will be complemented by the development of an incremental speech synthesizer, designed to modulate speech rate and prosody in real-time, in response to the unfolding dialogue context. The models will be evaluated in both offline and online settings, employing both simulated interactions to refine our models under controlled conditions and real-world scenarios to validate their effectiveness in practical applications, for example in human-robot interaction.

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral student (licentiate) in Resilient Public Transport
Public transport is leading the transformation of the transport sector in Sweden through an early transition to renewable fuels. The current focus is on electrifying the bus fleet, and the sector’s target is for 40% of all journeys to be public transport by 2030. However, the pandemic has brought challenges in the form of increased costs and reduced public travel. The project systematically analyzes resilience by exploring both technical (robustness and adaptability) and socio-ecological resilience (flexibility and agility). Trends such as electrification, digitalization and automation, together with post-pandemic market disruptions, call for new approaches and knowledge creation. Our research highlights synergies between resilient energy and public transport systems and engages stakeholders to assess risks and opportunities.
We are now looking for a PhD student who, in collaboration with the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), wants to explore the role and character of a socio-ecologically resilient public transport system in a longer-term perspective. We focus on the effects of transformative trends (pandemic, working from home, etc.), and how the mobility needs of all users are met in a way that is efficient, equitable and resilient to disruption. Sub-studies may include mapping of development trends, simulations of future systems, and resilience solutions supported by simulated case studies.

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral student in design of mining tool material using ICME
Cemented carbides are materials with tungsten carbide grains and a cobalt binder phase. They have excellent materials properties, but a high dependence on the critical raw material cobalt. This project will investigate replacing cobalt with an iron based binder, and in doing so utilising the martensitic phase transformation to achieve a material with excellent mechanical properties for rock drilling applications. This will be done through a combination of thermodynamic and kinetic modelling through ICME (Integrated and Computational Materials Engineering), experimental materials characterisation (including advanced microscopy and spectroscopy) and testing of materials properties.

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral student in Real-Time Systems
Embedded systems are at the heart of the ongoing digitalisation that transforms all areas of society. Consequently, their complexity is steadily rising. Many of these systems are safety-critical by nature and subject to various timing constraints that need to be met at runtime, requiring formal evidence of correctness. One important type of timing constraint is the end-to-end latency constraint, which describes the time it can take for data to propagate through a chain of communicating tasks.
The research project in which the PhD student will work aims to develop design and formal timing analysis techniques for real-time applications that are subject to different end-to-end latency constraints. The end-to-end latency is influenced by the application’s workload, the implemented communication paradigm and the scheduling algorithm. Of particular interest are applications that are comprised of several, possibly interconnected, task chains. The project will develop design and analysis techniques for such applications that can already be used early in the design process. This can, for example, be a transformation of task properties such that end-to-end latency constraints are always met. The project will also demonstrate that the resulting systems can be efficiently scheduled at runtime.

About KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden – Official Website
KTH Royal Institute of Technology, abbreviated KTH, is a public research university in Stockholm, Sweden. KTH conducts research and education within engineering and technology, and is Sweden’s largest technical university. Currently, KTH consists of five schools with four campuses in and around Stockholm.
KTH was established in 1827 as Teknologiska Institutet (Institute of Technology), and had its roots in Mekaniska skolan (School of Mechanics) that was established in 1798 in Stockholm. But the origin of KTH dates back to the predecessor to Mekaniska skolan, the Laboratorium Mechanicum, which was established in 1697 by Swedish scientist and innovator Christopher Polhem. Laboratorium Mechanicum combined education technology, a laboratory and an exhibition space for innovations. In 1877 KTH received its current name, Kungliga Tekniska högskolan (KTH Royal Institute of Technology). The King of Sweden Carl XVI Gustaf is the High Protector of KTH.
