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 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 Hybrid Energy Storage
To combat climate change, the power grid is evolving and many countries around the world are increasing their utilization of energy storage systems. Energy storage systems can, at various levels of the power grid, provide different services directly to the user but also to the grid itself. However, not all types of storage systems are equally suitable in all situations, e.g., an inherently large power capability is not naturally coupled with a high energy capacity and vice versa. The approach of combining different types of storage systems is called hybrid energy storage system (HESS). This allows for more flexibility and opportunities but can, e.g., increase losses if not properly handled. The development of new electrochemical batteries, hydrogen storage and fuel cells, electrical vehicles (and their connection to the grid via Vehicle-to-Grid, V2G), new services and actors in the grid all allows for interesting possibilities where HESS can contribute.

PhD position summary/title:–PhD student within Multi-Modal Modeling of Spatial Biology Data
At KTH Royal Institute of Technology/SciLifeLab, we are looking to fill the position as PhD student in data-driven cell and molecular biology covers research that fundamentally transforms our knowledge about how cells function by peering into their molecular components in time and space, from single molecules to native tissue environments.
The subject concerns spatial biology, which encompasses a wide range of technologies that quantify different types of biomolecules in situ. Available technologies provide information about distinct aspects of tissue anatomy, such as its morphology, genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome. Comprehensively characterizing a tissue requires combining multiple technologies, which can be costly or challenging experimentally. The student will develop methods for multi-modal modeling of spatial biology data that integrate diverse data types and can be used for cross-modality data transfer.
Multi-modal generative models are likely to become an increasingly crucial biological research tool. Due to the complex nature of many biological systems, any single modality is unlikely to describe their properties fully. Therefore, leveraging a learned knowledge base that spans multiple modalities and anatomical conditions is crucial for interpreting the data and accelerating discovery. For this purpose, the PhD student will employ our unique spatial multimodal datasets of tissue morphology, gene expression, genome integrity, and metabolites. The primary goal for the PhD student is to explore spatial datasets and develop data-driven methods to improve our understanding of biological systems in health and disease. The position also includes teaching and other duties in the department.

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.

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.
