PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral student in Electricity market optimization
European states (and Sweden) are working toward a sustainable intermittent renewable future. This green vision has brought about several important challenges. One of the major challenges is the increasing complexity in the Day-Ahead Electricity Market (DAM) model. First, the Market Time Unit (MTU) is planned to be reduced from 1 hour to 15 minutes. This roughly means an optimization model four times larger than what we have now. Second, the type and number of nonconvex orders are expected to increase by growing share of intermittent renewable generation. This in turn creates increasing complexity in calculating uniform prices. Third, Joint optimization of energy and balancing reserves in the day-ahead market which requires innovate algorithms to solve the DAM model.

PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral student in development of novel catalysts for hydrogen fuelled alkaline membrane fuel cells
The polymer electrolyte fuel cell, converting hydrogen to electricity, is a key technology for the green transition for transport as well as stationary applications. The anion exchange membrane fuel cell (AEMFC) is a potential low-cost alternative to the dominating commercialized proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) that is relying on high loading platinum catalysts and fluorine-containing membranes. The AEMFC technology is still under development and more research is needed on components, cell design and optimized operation conditions. The purpose of this project is to develop new PGM-free or ultra-low PGM electrodes for the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in anion exchange membrane fuel cells, through catalysts synthesis and characterisation at Aalto Univeristy and implementation and electrochemical evaluation in an AEMFC at KTH.

PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral student in Applied Math within Optimization and Systems Theory
We focus on developing optimization algorithms, methods, and fundamental theory, for analyzing specific input-output properties of deep neural networks (DNNs) and training DNNs with guaranteed properties. The ability to rigorously analyze and train DNNs with guaranteed properties is essential for us to trust AI-based systems, and this is an active research area. The goal is to develop deterministic optimization methods and we will build upon, and further develop, theory and concepts from mixed-integer and global optimization. A central question in the project is ”how to construct strong polyhedral representations and relaxations of DNNs”. A strong interest in mathematical programming (e.g., mixed-integer optimization) is a great advantage.

PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral students in Computational Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer
The two PhD students recruited at KTH will be part of the newly established VINNOVA Competence Center AdTherM (Advanced Computing for Sustainable Thermal Management in Industry) targeting analyses of thermal processes in industrial applications. Additional PhD students will be recruited by Lund University and Luleå University of Technology, partners in AdTherM. The jointly identified key challenges will be studied by combining experiments, primarily carried out by the industrial partners in AdTherM, with model development and CFD simulation studies, primarily in academia. One of the two projects at KTH will make usage of Large Eddy Simulations (LES) to understand the behavior of flow separation and developed secondary flows on aerodynamic performance and heat transfer for flat and curved surfaces. In the other project, water spray cooling will be optimized to increase the heat transfer of both the liquid droplets as well as the steam distribution inside an infusion vessel. LES will be employed to assess the increased complexity regarding flow, heat, phase change, and relative motion of the particles. The PhD students will work in a research group within the successful research environment FLOW (www.flow.kth.se) at the Department of Engineering Mechanics.

PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral student in Human Computer-Interaction
The primary objective of the projects within this research environment is to investigate the impact of digitalization within educational settings, specifically examining its effects on learning and inclusion in group work for two specific demographics: pupils with concentration difficulties (for example due to ADHD) and pupils with visual impairment. The overarching aim is to scrutinize the prevailing conditions for these pupils concerning the influence of digitalization in schools. Additionally, the research seeks to explore whether the integration of multisensory interfaces alongside an inclusive pedagogical approach can enhance the capacity for these pupils to concentrate and to attain the educational objectives outlined in the school curriculum. The doctoral student is expected to engage in interview and observation studies in school settings and in development and evaluation of multisensory learning applications with pupils from the two demographics in this project.

PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral student in Solid Mechanics
We are looking for a doctoral student to develop and validate numerical tools for examining the mechanical behaviour of fibre network materials across all relevant length scales, from the fibre joint level to the continuum, in the “Concurrent Multiscale Micromechanical Modelling of Fibre Networks” project. The project aims to advance a concurrent multiscale approach, incorporating plasticity, hygroexpansion, viscoelasticity, and damage at both the fibre and fibre connectivity scale.
In this project, you will investigate the effects of drying and moistening on fibres and fibre joints during manufacturing and end-use. A particular focus will be on understanding how anisotropic constraints during drying influence the development of the network’s mechanical properties and residual stresses. This project provides an exciting opportunity to gain insights into the complex behaviour of fibre networks and contribute to advancing our understanding of these widespread materials, which are integral to the transition towards sustainable development.

PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral student in wear and emissions from studded tyres
The use of studded tyres during wintertime can cause significant wear of road surfaces. Some fraction of this wear is released in the form of airborne particulates, affecting the air quality in urban areas. The studs of today’s winter tyres are manufactured from hard metal containing Cobalt. Cobalt is a material that should be phased out from an environmental perspective both at the use phase as well as the manufacturing phase. The project aims to study alternative Cobalt free hard metal studs that in the future also can reduce the particulate emissions. You will work together with industry and government agencies. This project is financed by the Swedish Transport agency

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.
