Aalto University, Finland invites online Application for number of  Fully Funded PhD Degree at various Departments as follows;

Doctoral candidate in machine learning for spectroscopy 

You will be developing data science and machine learning approaches for spectroscopy, in particular infrared spectroscopy for in-situ characterization. For training the machine learning models, you will generate datasets with electronic structure theory.

You will manage large-scale supercomputer simulations alongside AI algorithms and data analytics  tools and discuss results with experimental collaborators.

Doctoral Candidate to join the Wood Material Science group 

In this position you will work in our recently started WATERWOOD project  , which is funded by the Academy of Finland. You will be developing advanced techniques to uncover the link between water sorption and the mechanical behavior of wood and modified wood. These techniques will uncover wood-water interactions at different length scales, from the nanoscale up to the macroscopic level of wood.

Doctoral Candidate, Metasurfaces for 6G Wireless Communications.

The doctoral student will join a multidisciplinary project and conduct research on developing pioneering metasurface prototypes for 6G communications. The research will have strong theoretical and simulation components, where novel AI-based or inverse design tools will play an important role.

Doctoral student positions in Robotics and Learning. 

Doctoral student will participate in two recently awarded new research endeavors: (1) learning good and safe policies from expert demonstrations to use in assistance systems for novice users; (2) developing AI-based control strategies for autonomous vehicles in which CO2 emissions are minimized.

Doctoral Candidate (PhD) in the area of edge-plasma physics in magnetic fusion devices. 

The successful candidate will be trained in edge plasma physics with the goal to complete a doctoral thesis on the impact of the main ion species (hydrogenic versus helium) on divertor plasma detachment in tokamaks within four years of the doctoral programme at Aalto University.

The candidate will be educated in executing plasma edge codes, such as SOLPS-ITER and EIRENE, to interpret data from the ASDEX Upgrade and JET tokamaks. As a team member, the candidate is anticipated to participate in ASDEX Upgrade and JET experiments, in data mining and analyses of past and on-going experiments, and in carrying out plasma simulations.
