2. Fully Funded PhD in sprayed solar cells
Summary of Funded PhD Program
In our group, we focus on organic and electronics and solar cells based on sustainable, bio-based materials. Starting from the thinnest conductive paper, we use advanced thin film technologies to apply functional layers by spray deposition as rapid, versatile, scalable, and industrially relevant thin film technology. This project aims to develop novel all-sprayed solar cells. Here, it is crucial to elucidate the underlaying nanostructure-process-functionality (e.g. photovoltaic efficiency) relationship; thus, the work includes design and development of spray deposition for cellulose-based polymer solar cells including in situ experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities, such as MAX IV in Lund, at synchrotrons in Germany, Europe, and USA as well as neutron scattering at European and international neutron sources.

3. Fully Funded PhD in physical chemistry & environmental chemistry
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The composition of Earth’s atmosphere and its ability to respond to pollution and climate change is maintained by oxidation reactions involving short-lived radicals. In particular, thousands of different organic radicals are present in the atmosphere, such as Criegee intermediate (CI), resulting from the reactions of unsaturated organic compounds with Ozone. Despite several decades of research, these CI remain very difficult to observe in laboratory and have never been observed in the atmosphere. Thus many questions remain on their reactions. This PhD position will take place within an on-going European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Project and have for specific objective to investigate the use of Proton Transfer Mass Spectrometry to detect these radicals and to study their reactions in laboratory.

8. Fully Funded PhD in Membrane integration/intensification for CRM recovery
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This doctoral position is offered by the Division of Resource Recovery, within the Department of Chemical Engineering. Our research focuses on novel techniques for resource recovery aiming at developing economically and environmentally sustainable processes. Critical raw materials (CRMs) are elements categorized by the EU commission as crucial for technological development, often in industries like electronics and renewable energy, that are limited in supply. Many of these can be found in significant amounts in mining tailings or landfills, due to challenges in their recovery. This PhD position focuses on advancing membrane technology for the treatment of mining tailings, with the aim of improving the recovery of CRMs and enabling water remediation and reuse.
