PhD position summary/title: PhD student in AI-driven biomolecular engineering
The AI Laboratory for Biomolecular Engineering (AIBE) is based in the Data Science & AI (DSAI) division in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). Led by Dr. Rocío Mercado, our group uses methods from machine learning and the life sciences to understand how molecules interact to form complex systems, and how we can use these insights to engineer molecular systems for therapeutic applications. We are currently focused on applying our computational tools to improving the understanding and design of multi-target therapeutic modalities like PROTACs and molecular glues, which require large networks of proteins to come together and cooperate for the desired therapeutic effect to occur. We interact closely with leading academic and industrial groups in computational chemistry, bioinformatics, and computer science. In AIBE, we seek to create a vibrant and collaborative environment where students and postdocs are supported in their pursuit of challenging research questions at the forefront of machine learning and the life sciences.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in biomass utilization with carbon capture and storage
The goal of the project is to further the development of Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC), a concept related to Fluidized-Bed Combustion (FBC), but which involves the use of chemically active bed materials. CLC provides two important advantages over FBC, namely inherent CO2 sequestration and separation of corrosive ash elements and vulnerable heat-transfer surfaces. These advantages make CLC an ideal technology for Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), which has been identified as a necessary technology for achieving climate policy targets. BECCS involves capturing and storing CO2 absorbed by biomass from the atmosphere during its utilization, and allows for co-generation of negative CO2 emissions, power and heat. In the Nordic countries we have unusual access to biomass resources, unique infrastructure for biomass utilization and technological know-how to realize BECCS in the near term. Chalmers University of Technology has been a pioneer institution in the development of CLC and related technologies. The goal of the larger project is to advance the technology for waste-derived fuels and to pave way for an industrial-scale CLC demonstration in the immediate future. Your role in the project will be to lead and perform experimental work that relates to operation of a CLC pilot unit, characterization of bed material and ash samples, and application of novel measurement techniques. You will collaborate with a second PhD student at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, which will work within the field of material science and corrosion.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student position in Airborne multi-static radar systems
One enabler for an AMR system is to exploit the direct signal between a transmitting platform and a receiving platform. The direct signal allows timing, synchronization, transmitter-receiver coherence and elimination of intricate and complicated planning for all signaling and waveform parameters for all transmitter and receiver pairs in an AMR system. Another enabler is a combination of recent methods and breakthroughs. The methods include estimation of the multi-static geometries using only the characteristics of the ground clutter radar echoes, predict the information gain in all transmitter-receiver pairs, select the most informative pairs for processing and provide guidelines for the receiving platform to move to increase the expected information gain. This allows improved and more robust detection and tracking continuity for small and difficult targets in a background of complicated clutter. The project will help to transform these earlier challenges into enablers for AMR systems and is conducted in collaboration with Swedish industry.

About Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden –Official Website
Chalmers University of Technology is a Swedish university located in Gothenburg that focuses on research and education in technology, natural sciences, architecture, mathematics, maritime and other management areas.
The university was founded in 1829 following a donation by William Chalmers, a director of the Swedish East India Company. He donated part of his fortune for the establishment of an “industrial school”. Chalmers was run as a private institution until 1937, when the institute became a state-owned university. In 1994, the school was incorporated as an aktiebolag under the control of the Swedish Government, the faculty and the Student Union. Chalmers is one of only three universities in Sweden which are named after a person, the other two being Karolinska Institutet and Linnaeus University.
