3. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Investigating and fostering socio-technical transformation at the nexus of electricity, heat, and mobility
Summary of PhD Project
Creating a more sustainable future requires deep, society-wide changes that go beyond improving or implementing individual technologies. Rather, it requires changes in practices, regulations, technologies, infrastructures, markets, user preferences, and culture, not only within but also beyond the boundaries of individual socio-technical systems such as housing, electricity, heating, food, and mobility. However, both academic research and policy efforts often concentrate on improving sustainability in single socio-technical systems.

9. Fully Funded PhD Programs in FEM Modelling of Sewer-Liner Failure under Chemo-Hygro-Mechanical Loading
Summary of PhD Project
In this PhD position, you will explore the long-term performance and failure mechanisms of sewer-liner systems subjected to complex environmental loads. Ageing, delamination, moisture infiltration, and chemical exposure are real-world challenges that impact urban infrastructure reliability. As a PhD researcher, you will develop a robust Finite Element Method (FEM) modelling framework to predict how these systems evolve—and eventually fail—over time. You will develop a comprehensive FEM-based modelling framework for sewer-liner systems that integrates advanced damage, plasticity, and fracture models, as well as ageing effects and coupled chemo-hygro-mechanical processes.

10. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Energy-Efficient Online Learning Using Compute-in-Memory Architectures
Summary of PhD Project
Self-awareness in humans is an innate capability, arising from the brain’s ability to process a multitude of sensory inputs. Emulating this functionality in electronic systems, commonly referred to as neuromorphic computing holds the potential to create highly intelligent machines capable of supporting a wide range of everyday applications, from autonomous vehicles to smart navigation systems. However, realizing neuromorphic computing in practice presents significant challenges, particularly in the areas of energy efficiency, reliability, and security.
