4. Fully Funded PhD in innovative rotor-nacelle system design and analysis for modularized blade systems
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The overall research goal is to develop an innovative blade design with a partial pitch control concept The partial pitch concept has a pitch bearing on the blade unlike a normal pitch concept which has the pitch bearing at the blade root. Individual Pitch Control (IPC) methods can be adapted since only a small part of the blade needs to be pitched. The proposed partial pitch IPC blade may enhance wake mixing capacity resulting in fast wake recovery. Various partial pitch design and control options will be investigated to maximise the load reductions and wake recoveries.

5. Fully Funded PhD in Prediction and Modelling of Damage Mechanisms of Exra-Large Wind Turbine Blades
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The objective of the PhD study will be to evaluate risks of wind turbine blade failure and damage by increasing the blade sizes, up to extra-large wind turbine blades. With increasing wind turbine blade size, the likely damage mechanisms of wind turbine blades are changing. Torsion forces become stronger, leading to the possible blade, and buckling collapse. This leads to changes in main blade damage mechanisms, different m those observed in current blades and collected in failure reports. In this work, you will investigate mechanisms of damage of extra-large wind turbine blades, using the methods of computational mechanics and finite element modelling.

14. Fully Funded PhD in Sustainable Hybrid Work
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Implementation of flexible and hybrid work not only has consequences for the organization and management of work but also for family and housing conditions, for local communities and cities, and for transport patterns and, thus, climate. Regarding climate and impact, organizations are increasingly being asked to provide documentation on how their activities impact the climate and demonstrate their commitment to environmental sustainability. At the same time, not all jobs can be carried out from different locations. Thus, hybrid work may create organizational challenges and work practices but also demands new decisions and strategies. Together, this makes the implementation of hybrid work in workplaces very complex, with far-reaching consequences for individuals, society, and the environment.
