2. Fully Funded PhD in Environmental Analytical Chemistry

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Chemical pollution is recognized as a key drivers of biodiversity loss. Protection of the environment and human health from the impacts of pollution is key in securing a resilient society. Due to the high number and enormous complexity of chemicals of potential concern, advances in high-resolution analytical techniques are urgently needed. The bottleneck for such analysis remains time-consuming data analysis processes, that can only be tackled by a combination of robust workflows with advanced data analysis tools.

3. Fully Funded PhD in organic synthesis for photoelectrochemical applications

Summary of Funded PhD Program

The Department of Chemistry at NTNU has a vacancy for a PhD position in organic chemistry, focusing on synthetic photoelectrochemistry. Organic chemistry is essential for developing specialized molecules that are desperately needed to solve important global challenges. Photoelectrochemistry, which combines photochemistry and electrochemistry, enables redox processes beyond the capabilities of the individual methods. This synthetic power can then be utilized in new chemical transformations towards desirable compounds for a range of end applications.

4. Fully Funded PhD in Multi-scale Modelling and Simulation of Polymer and Antiferromagnet Composites

Summary of Funded PhD Program

We have an open PhD position in multi-scale modeling and simulations of polymer and antiferromagnet (AFM) composites for spintronics at the Department of Manufacturing and Civil Engineering, NTNU. Spintronics, which manipulates the magnetization of AFMs, offers ultrafast THz spin dynamics and picosecond switching speeds. The absence of stray magnetic fields in AFMs allows for higher bit densities and increased storage capacities, making them ideal for next-generation memory devices. AFMs are also energy-efficient, reducing power consumption while maintaining high processing speeds, which is advantageous for chip design.

7. Fully Funded PhD in Application of machine learning for crystal and continuum plasticity

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Crystal plasticity plays a critical role for understanding and predicting both the global and local behavior of materials under various loading conditions, especially in metals and alloys. Phenomena such as a corner effect, non-normality of the plastic flow, flow localization, are particularly suited for being studied within the crystal plasticity framework. In a hierarchical multiscale modelling paradigm, the crystal plasticity, as a computational method, stretches itself broadly along the microscale, neighbouring from the bottom with the dislocation and molecular dynamics, and is very closely linked to the upper scale of the continuum plasticity.

8. Fully Funded PhD in use of artificial intelligence (AI) within the ship design process

Summary of Funded PhD Program

The KSP DREAMS (KSP: Kompetanse- og Samarbeidsprosjekt; DREAMS: Design Re-Engineering and Automation of Marine Systems) research project aims to increase the competitiveness of Norwegian ship design activities. The project rests on the following three hypotheses:

By re-engineering the design process, combined with a higher degree of automation of selected tasks, we can reduce the total resource expenditure in conceptual and basic design by at least 20%.

By extending the focus from predominantly technical details towards commercial and sustainability performance we can better meet customer needs and expectations, and thereby significantly improve the competitiveness of Norwegian ship design firms.

By disseminating the project results into naval architecture educational training programs, we can improve the medium- and long-term implementation and use of new design methods and technologies in the Norwegian maritime industry.
