Being a PhD student at the Division of Marine Technology at Chalmers offers a unique opportunity to work with colleagues from all over the world, and to work internationally by attending conferences and visit other research partners.

We are looking for highly motivated and skilled PhD students with cross-disciplinary knowledges who have a genuine interest in working with any of the four research project areas:

A. Propeller-hull interaction effects for wind-assisted ships
An improved understanding of Propeller-Hull Interaction effects is important for accurately predicting ship power. This is becoming even more important in the near future as alternative energy systems are being introduced on ships. Calm water predictions can be done with an acceptable accuracy, but very few studies of the propulsion system have been done in a more realistic operating conditions. Wind-assisted ships (WASP) fall into this category due to varying headings, waves and dynamics of propeller loading, where neither the propeller-hull interaction effects are well understood nor are the computational tools well developed. The objective of this project is to advance on this topic, both with respect to developing computational methods as well as for the physical understanding of this problem. (Contact person: Associate Professor Arash Eslamdoost)

B. Safe ship collision and grounding hull design for small modular reactor-powered ships
Tougher EU requirements on environmental and climate emissions from shipping have once again stimulated discussions about the pros and cons and the risks of small modular reactors (SMRs) in commercial shipping. There is now a strong increased interest among shipowners, authorities, universities and research institutes, especially in Europe, to study and evaluate SMR. The project’s purpose and goal is to investigate barriers within regulations for ship design/construction and propose solutions for commercial ships if SMR is introduced. The main focus of the project is to study the construction and resilience of the hull for these scenarios. There will be tougher requirements on side planking structure and hull beam for ships with SMR compared to those without SMR. The question is how the ships of the future should be constructed, and how existing ships should be adapted when installing SMR. (Contact person: Professor Jonas Ringsberg)

C. Development of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for marine acoustics and FSI problems related to Arctic operations
The Lattice Boltzmann Method has emerged as a powerful numerical technique. We will develop the method and code to investigate on a general basis in order to simulate the noise from the propeller and other devices. With the aim of the exploration of the Arctic, the tool will be further used to investigate ocean conditions with ice. (Contact person: Associate Professor Hua-Dong Yao)

D. Maritime logistics of Carbon Dioxide
Capture and storage of CO2 is one of several tools to reach the world’s climate goals, which includes transport of the CO2 from the emitter to the storage site. Ship transport will be a highly relevant mode of transport. Thus, it is likely that a fleet of specialized CO2 tankers will emerge. This is an applied, cross-disciplinary project, combining naval architecture with logistics research to establish design recommendations and identify potential innovation for CO2 tankers, linked to the logistic patterns and operational prerequisites. (Contact person: Senior Lecturer Per Mottram Hogström)

Information about the department
The department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences (M2) conducts fundamental and applied research in all modes of transport to achieve sustainable technological solutions. M2 holds one of Sweden’s most extensive simulator centre for navigation and propulsion of ships, as well as world class laboratories for experimental studies. The department also offers and contributes to bachelor and master programs in areas such as Shipping, Automotive and Mechanical Engineering to mention a few. In addition, professional education is performed on both a national and international level, with specific designed mission training for different social actors, within our ambition for a lifelong learning. The department continuously strives to establish a cooperation between academia, industry, and society, with a great focus on utilization. M2 is characterized by an international environment with employees and students from around the world, as well as outstanding research and world-class education. M2 consists of seven different divisions within the areas of engineering and maritime sciences, and one division of administration and support.

Information about the division
The division of Marine Technology conducts research and education centred primarily around the professional understanding and technical development of methods and models within the fields of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering. The core research areas span ship design, marine structures, hydrodynamics, safety and reliability, and maritime operations Research activities are performed within both basic sciences to advance the understanding of the physics controlling the design and operation, as well as applied sciences in, e.g. simulation tools to support a designer, advance the regulations and provide models for ship operations. Another important challenge is how to derive reliable metocean parameters for practical applications, such as a ship’s energy performance monitoring when sailing at sea. Safety and energy efficiency in ships are at the core of the research and education, and we work closely with different industry partners to ensure a high relevance and promote utilisation. The division is responsible for educating Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers within the international master’s program Mobility Engineering at Chalmers.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities as a PhD student are to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing.

We are looking for a highly motivated researcher that would like to pursue a PhD in the areas of Interpretable Artificial Intelligence (IAI) and Autonomous Decision-Making to study and make significant contributions to the emerging field of Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC). HRC studies the most effective algorithms to enable robots to work safely and efficiently alongside with humans in shared spaces.

Join our multidisciplinary team to further investigate and propose innovative solutions to empower robots with the ability to make informed decisions in collaborative environments. If you are passionate about Interpretable AI, autonomous decision-making, and the future of human-robot collaboration, we strongly encourage you to apply!

Project description
Collaborative Robots (Cobots) are intended to interact directly with humans in shared and dynamic spaces. Meaning that humans and robots can work together in close proximity to achieve a common goal. What is limiting the deployment of Cobots to complex collaborative scenarios? An important research question is how to enable effective human-robot collaborations (HRC). A central challenge is to develop learning and reasoning methods to enable Cobots to autonomously make decisions, mirroring human’s ability to make quick, informed decisions in dynamic collaborative settings.

The next generation of Cobots should infer the intentions of its co-workers, make rapid decisions about the best actions to execute, and learn the correct associated control strategies to achieve the desired goal without compromising the collaboration. Thus, Cobots need to have a high-level reasoning model to resemble human cognitive modeling, and a low-level control model to execute optimal skills. The synthesis of high-level reasoning with adequate low-level controls is very challenging and it is an unexplored territory that will open up new opportunities in different research areas within the HRC field. This project aims to expand the scientific understanding of the requirements to provide a holistic solution from interpreting the collaborator’s intentions to executing the optimal robot skill autonomously, leading to better HRC.

Information about the division and the department
The position is within the Mechatronics group at Chalmers University of Technology, where a team of dedicated PhD students, postdocs and senior researchers are actively pursuing research in the areas of semantic-based methods, high-level decision-making systems, Interpretable AI, and Robotics. The Mechatronics group is an integral part of the Department of Electrical Engineering (E2) which primarily focuses on modeling and developing efficient systems for extracting and processing information. 

Major responsibilities
Your primary responsibility as a PhD student will be to pursue independent research and expand your capabilities and knowledge within the research domains covered by the project. You are expected to develop your own original scientific concepts and present the results of your research verbally at academic conferences and in written journal articles. You are also expected to collaborate with other team members and external researchers from academia and industry.

Do you want to develop a green, facile and scalable electrochemical method to synthesize electroactive high-entropy oxide materials? Do you want to prepare a novel hybrid anode electrode by the integration of meso-porous high-entropy oxide with graphene-based nano-porous filter membrane? Do you want to design and fabricate a demo system for the efficient remediation of PFAS pollutants with low energy consumption? Apply now for this exciting postdoc position!

Project description
PFAS are a large family of synthetic chemicals that are widely used in applications including textiles, leather, paper packaging, detergents, paints, and cosmetics. PFAS consist of a carbon chain in which hydrogen atoms are entirely or partly replaced by fluorine atoms. The bond between carbon and fluorine is incredibly strong, making PFAS as a group highly stable, persistent substances. These harmful chemicals are frequently detected in Sweden and have already threatened the public drinking water supply. The aim of this project is to develop innovative entropy-stabilized oxides (i.e., high-entropy oxides) and graphene hybrid anode materials for water purification, specifically targeted for the removal of PFAS from the drinking water, by the electrochemical advanced oxidation process. A postdoc researcher with proven research experience on electrodeposition of functional oxides, is now required to implement the research activities in this interesting project.
