Diploma & Master Thesis
17.10.2016
1476686111
Background:Quantifying the activity of enzymes operating within the large-scale biochemical network is a fundamental challenge in Systems Bio(tech)nology. Here the unknown quantities must be inferred from models that are incomplete and measurements that involve errors. For such challenges, Bayesian analysis using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) has become a standard tool.
Project description:For addressing high dimensional parameter inference problems with Bayesian statistics, powerful MCMC methods have emerged, for example the MCMC differential evolution and the Riemann Manifold Langevin Monte Carlo method. Because of the specific structure of the inference problems occurring in metabolic models, direct application of these MCMC algorithms is not possible.
In this project, you will bring MCMC methods into the setting of metabolic flux inference and with inspiration from existing algorithms, develop tailored MCMC algorithm(s). The ensuing algorithm(s) will be implemented in an existing C++ framework, validated and benchmarked with a realistic case study. The focus of the project can develop either more in the mathematical theory of MCMC or practical implementation of code for the Jülich supercomputers.
Your skills:You are highly motivated, with an interest in probability theory and mathematics. Very good practical C++ programming skills allow you to make your ideas happen and you have strong interest in curiosity-driven multidisciplinary research.
About us: The “Modeling and Simulation Group” is part of the IBG-1, located at the Research Center Jülich (Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH). We offer a multidisciplinary and interesting research environment within a young and dynamic group. The project is an excellent example for research at the interface of computational systems biology and mathematics.

Optimization-based design of future energy systems is subject to uncertainties that stem from the intermittent and non-dispatchable renewable electricity sources. Fluctuation in local renewable electricity supply usually can be balanced via grid connection. However, some systems, e.g., island systems, require robustness against the uncertainty in their electricity sources. Robust optimization techniques allow to arrive at robust system designs but rely on accurate distribution models for the uncertain data at hand. In particular, distribution models for uncertain time series like renewable electricity generation remain a largely unexplored field in robust design. The scope of this PhD project therefore is (i) to find efficient ways to model potentially correlated distributions using machine learning, particularly artificial neural networks (ANNs), and (ii) to utilize global optimization for robust sampling of the derived distribution models.Your tasks in detail:

In the EU framework, LECs have been recognized by the EU as a key component of the energy transition. The European Commission’s Clean Energy Package has also defined a legislative framework for the operation of LECs that aim at participation of LECs in energy markets.

Superconducting qubits are the currently most prominent technology for creating a quantum computer. Semiconductor qubits promise significant advantages for further scale-up. Both technologies are researched and developed conjointly at the Peter Grünberg Institute - JARA-Institute Quantum Information (PGI-11). The possibility for unprecedented breakthroughs in information processing using quantum computers has spurred basic research for decades. Tackling such problems, even beyond the capabilities of current generation supercomputers, seems now to be nearly within reach. The rapidly growing interest in this research field outside of academia is testified by privately funded largescale development programs and PGI-11s close collaboration with several large industrial partners and semiconductor foundries.

High-speed streaming cameras are used in an increasing number of industrial and scientific applications. Real-time imaging here is of indisputable value as it opens the way for interactive monitoring, image[1]based control scenarios, and online data reduction. However, processing large streams of data is a challenging task requiring orchestration of an efficient data flow and implementation of efficient parallel algorithms suitable for modern hardware architectures. In this project, you will build an online data acquisition and image processing system for high-throughput chemical screening using advanced spectroscopic methods. Real-time data processing will enable identification of high-value targets for further analysis, thereby accelerating scientific discovery over traditional methods. Specifically, a high-speed array sensor will collect spectroscopic data at speeds exceeding 10,000 frames per second at data streams of up to 8 GB/s. The goal of the work is the acquisition of sensor data, the execution of a complex mathematical analysis, and the display of meaningful results in real-time to the user. You are expected to build a full data chain from data acquisition through data processing to data storage and integrate it with the existing control application. Particularly, you will develop a fast implementation of Goertzel algorithm using OpenMP and SIMD intrinsics. The experiment is performed within the collaboration between Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Michigan State University (MSU). The working place is at KIT.

Currently, primary and secondary surveillance radars, Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B), and Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) are used for air traffic surveillance and collision avoidance. Using TCAS, near mid-air collisions can be avoided even with no ground control. This is of particular importance for aircraft flying over remote regions, which make up 70% of the world. Additionally, ADS-B equipped aircraft also benefit from an increased situational awareness in the sky. Nevertheless, both ADS-B and TCAS require all aircraft to be cooperative. Due to their dependence on a working transponder, these technologies become ineffective in case of transponder malfunctions or under jamming conditions.
We are therefore interested to develop new and modern concepts for collision avoidance and situational awareness in the sky. To allow for this, we propose to exploit the satellite navigation signals as ``signals of opportunity’’ and use their reflections off nearby aircraft to passively detect and estimate the position and velocity of these aircraft at the aircraft of interest, essentially realizing a passive multistatic radar system. The main advantage of using the satellite navigation signals as signals of opportunity is that they are ubiquitously available, therefore providing a continuous and global coverage of the sky. The low transmit power and the associated weak signal reflections remain however one of the major challenges.
Your research focus is on the development of surveillance concepts to enable the detection of neighboring aircraft while using the satellite navigation signals as signals of opportunity. The use of smart signal processing techniques in conjunction with artificial intelligence methods is needed to overcome the low power limitations and ensure a successful detection of neighboring aircraft.
We expect and highly encourage that you utilize your research work at DLR to pursue earning a PhD degree.

One major field of research for the forthcoming generations of nanoelectronic and nanophotonic devices is the integration of III-V semiconductors with the silicon-based CMOS technology. A very promising approach is the growth of III-V nanowires (NWs) on silicon substrates. While the fabrication of NWs of several materials on Si(111) is well established, the growth of InAs NWs remains a challenge due to the narrow window of suitable parameters. On the other hand, InAs exhibits among the highest values of electron mobility in semiconductors and therefore the integration of InAs NWs on Si is highly desirable.
It was shown for GaAs NWs that a specific surface manipulation procedure prior to the actual nanowire growth can significantly improve the sample quality in several aspects. During this process Ga droplets are deposited on the SiO2 oxide layer covering the Si(111) surface in order to etch nanoholes into the oxide to form nucleation sites. In a second step, again Ga precursor droplets are deposited to fill the nanoholes and to form nucleation seeds for the subsequent growth of GaAs nanowires. The quality of the nanowires is determined by the properties of these precursor droplets, such as wetting angle, size, filling ratio of the nanoholes, etc. Aim of this thesis is to transfer the knowledge from the case of GaAs to the growth of high-quality InAs nanowires. Main objective will be the morphological characterization of the etched nanoholes and the In droplets by in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM). The UHV-Cluster at IPS offers the unique possibility to conduct both, growth and characterization by AFM, under ultra-high-vacuum conditions, avoiding the deterioration of the specimen by oxidation or other contaminations. In the course of this work, you will acquire knowledge and hands-on experience in ultrahigh vacuum technology, growth of nanostructures by molecular beam epitaxy and various surface characterization methods.

Quantum communication technologies are becoming ever more prominent, promising to revolutionize the technological sector. The main application for quantum communication is currently Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), which enables unconditionally secure encryptions with security established directly at the physical communication layer. Beyond QKD, quantum communication may enable distributed quantum sensing, networked quantum computing, and advanced cryptographic tasks. Two technologies that will be essential for next-generation quantum communications, and in particular for the quantum internet, will be quantum memories and appropriate photonic interconnects. Quantum memories allow to reliably store quantum information (qubits) in matter systems, such as trapped atoms or quantum-dots, while photonic interconnects allow to transfer information from and to photons that carry quantum information over long distances.
The DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation performs research on transferring quantum information from a mobile node to a quantum memory. These mobile nodes may be flying quantum transmitters in the troposphere, stratosphere or space, with the quantum receiver being located on the ground. The quantum channel in this dynamic scenario is the focus of the research, i.e. the investigation of the impact the flight dynamics and the turbulent atmosphere.
The aim of the thesis is to identify the relevant quantum channel disturbances, quantify the impact on the link performance and support the development of a dedicated experiment. The work will start with a literature research, comparing different quantum memory technologies and photon sources (including e.g. lasers, single photon sources, entanglement sources) and analysing the quantum link models. This will then be used to determine what are the boundary conditions and requirements for a future experiment: for the free-space optical channel (e.g., total endpoint-to-endpoint loss and background light); for the photon sources (e.g., frequency and phase stability); for the photonic interfaces in the receiving unit (e.g., spatial mode and beam shaping); and for the quantum memory itself (e.g., quantum state writing and read-out).

Free Space Optical Communications with satellites is currently an exciting topic of development, with the potential to provide high bandwidth communications links for allowing broadband internet into remote areas, or providing un-hackable, encrypted communications channels using Quantum Key Distribution. This becomes increasingly important in our world which requires global connectivity, and in which Quantum computers are becoming available that threaten existing encryption techniques.
As well as new opportunities, free space links present new challenges. The light must travel through turbulence in the atmosphere which causes instabilities in the link. At the Institute for Communications and Navigations at DLR, we are developing technologies that can correct the light in real-time to provide stable and efficient communications links, such as Adaptive Optics. Adaptive Optics systems detect the wave-front error imparted on the light incoming to the Optical Ground Station, and perform correction using a "deformable mirror" that changes its shape to match the incoming wave. In this way, the light is better coupled into a communications system. The light transmitted from the ground station to the satellite is also stabilised in similar manner.
As part of our team, you would be developing the next generation of Adaptive Optics systems for free space optical communications. This includes development and testing of new wave-front sensing techniques and optimising the control software that underpins the whole system.
Among others, you will be responsible for the following tasks:

The Internet of things (IoT) is attracting an increasing attention from both industry and academia, and will be a core component of next generation 6G systems. In an IoT network, a potentially massive number of low-cost, low-complexity devices generate traffic to be reported to a common receiver monitoring the situation. Relevant examples include asset tracking, industrial and environmental monitoring, smart cities, as well as cyber-physical systems. In such settings, the overall goal is to maintain an up-to-date, or fresh, perception of the status of a monitored process, and performance criteria that are traditionally employed to design and evaluate wireless systems, e.g. throughput or reliability, may fall to capture fundamental tradeoffs. To overcome this limitation, novel metrics such as the age of information have recently been proposed to capture the notion of information freshness, and will become paramount for the design of next generation wireless systems.
This thesis will focus on the analysis of such metrics by means of analysis and network simulations. The aim will be to study advanced information freshness metrics, e.g., based on the notion of entropy of the monitored process, and to identify novel and key performance trends, focusing on the relevant setup in which a large number of terminals share a common channel following a random-access policy. The student will have the chance to learn about IoT systems, link layer solutions, as well as to become familiar with important protocol design criteria that will be reflected in next-generation wireless systems.

A challenge in boundary-layer meteorology is measuring the turbulent, instationary flows in time and space in order to understand its structure and the underlying physical processes. With conventional instruments, assumptions have to be made with regards to stationarity or homogeneity, because measurements are either made at a fixed point over long periods (as done with meteorological towers) or over an area within a certain time period (as done with scanning lidars or airborne systems). The use of a large number of multicopters which synchronously measure the wind in-situ at many locations that can be defined in a flexible way enables new kinds of measurements. In this work, a swarm of commercially available drones will be enabled and deployed to collect this new kind of data.

Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) are expected to play a crucial role in the conversion of electrical energy from sustainable sources into chemical compounds. The co-electrolysis of carbon dioxide with steam is seen as a potential source of synthesis gas. A key step during co-electrolysis is the energy conversion at the cermet fuel electrode through electro-reduction. This electro-reduction is commonly believed to take place at the triple phase boundary (TPB) between nickel, oxygen ion conducting ceramics and gas. Recent studies show that, due to the high electro-catalytic activity and mixed ionic and electronic conductivity (MIEC) of the ceria phase, the electrochemically active electrode area on Ni/Gadolinium-doped ceria (CGO) electrodes further extends to the double phase boundary (DPB) between CGO surface and gas phase. However, it is still unclear whether DPB or TPB pathways dominate the electrochemical reduction in industrially used porous electrodes.
In order to investigate physical processes during the operation of an electrolysis cells a numerical framework NEOPARD-X was developed. The framework includes submodels for detailed gas and surface kinetics, detailed gas and ion transport. For the model development, electrochemical experiments were performed including current-voltage curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with different cell configurations. In order to study the effect of gas transport processes different gas flow rates were studied. With cross-section images from scanning electron microscope seven layers with different material properties were identified.
The purpose of this work is to develop an electrochemical model of the fuel Ni-CGO electrode for co-electrolysis. This includes parametrisation of submodes within NEOPARD-X framework, e.g. material properties, and the improvement of the kinetic mechanism for the catalytic processes at the CGO surface.

The Optical Communication Systems Group of the Institute of Communications and Navigation (part of the German Aerospace Center) investigates new technologies to increase the data throughput between Satellites and Ground Stations by employing free-space optical (FSO) links. The Earth’s atmosphere heavily influences the statistics of the transmission channel for such laser signals, both in amplitude and phase. Therefore, Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) and Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) schemes are suitable to improve the system performance of such links.
This fellowship shall investigate different adaptive-rate schemes to be used in combination with ARQ and DTN algorithms for FSO communication in downlink scenarios. These schemes shall be developed, taking into consideration the channel characteristics and the practical aspects of the implementation of optical terminals for aeronautical and space systems.

Nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) technologies are widely used for drinking water production. RO membranes are applied for water desalination giving their ability to remove monovalent salts up to ~99%, while NF membranes are commonly used to remove micropollutants and treatment of natural waters contaminated by inorganics such as fluoride, nitrates and arsenic.
In treatment plants, NF/RO membranes are typically designed for continuous operation without considering water quality variations. However, in locations with extreme climate variability, NF/RO membranes can face radical variations in terms of hardness, salinity as well as the content of natural organic matter (NOM). Such variations can therefore affect the separation process, energy consumption and ultimately operational costs.
The aim of this project is to carry out experiments to evaluate the resilience of NF/RO membranes to remove inorganic water contaminants (e.g. fluoride, arsenic, nitrate) with varying water salinity, hardness and in presence of NOM. NF/RO separation mechanisms will be also investigated.

Decentralized directly coupled photovoltaic-powered Nanofiltrration/Reverse Osmosis (PV-NF/RO) systems are a promising solution for groundwater desalination in off-grid rural areas such as developing countries. In such systems, mineral scaling developing on membranes is a common challenge that results in loss of membrane performance and an increase in energy consumption. On the other hand, solar irradiance fluctuations cause non steady state operations that lead to the occurrence of direct osmotic backwash (OB). OB is a potential self-cleaning method to mitigate scaling and maintain membrane performance. The impact of OB on scaling during the solar irradiance fluctuations is to date unclear and will be the main purpose of this study.
The aim of this project is to carry out a range of scaling and OB experiments under variable solar irradiance fluctuation conditions to evaluate the cleaning effectiveness of OB as a self-cleaning method for mineral scaling.

The consumption of drinking water contaminated with elevated levels of inorganic ions such as fluoride, nitrate and uranium is a major health concern. A low energy filtration process such as ultrafiltration (UF) would be a viable option for water treatment in remote areas, at the same time challenging as it cannot perform ion removal like nanofiltration or reverse osmosis. Composite UF membranes involving inorganic adsorbents such as zeolite would enhance the ion removal ability.
This project is a part of a DFG funded collaborative programme with KNUST, Ghana. As the synthesis of zeolites is feasible from the locally available clay materials in Ghana, treatment of the local water using a low energy filtration route involving zeolite is more interesting.
The aim of this project is to establish the feasibility of using composite zeolite UF membranes for the removal of inorganic ion pollutants common in Ghana waters. The following specific task will be performed as a part of the project:

Diploma & Master Thesis
The Institute for Energy and Climate Research (IEK-14), Electrochemical Process Engineering at Forschungszentrum Jülich with more than 20 years of experience in electrochemical energy conversion, is at the forefront of innovative solutions for clean and sustainable energy conversion devices. In collaboration with national and international partners from research and industry, we develop solutions for mobile, portable and stationary applications and research the use of liquid energy carriers as fuels as well as their efficient and environmentally friendly production and use. Hydrogen is considered the best alternative to fossil fuels; if it is generated with renewable electricity, it is an excellent energy carrier that can be used and converted without carbon dioxide emissions. Low-temperature water electrolysis is considered the preferred route for the large-scale production of hydrogen. However, the efficiency of water electrolysis is highly dependent on the activity of the electrocatalysts. Thus, the development of highly effective, stable, and inexpensive materials for the oxygen evolution reaction would have a significant impact. Recently, single-atom catalysts have emerged as the new frontier in catalysis science due to their maximum utilization of atoms and excellent catalytic reaction activity. The synthesis of these materials will provide a better understanding of the mechanism beyond activity and stability for the oxygen evolution reaction in an acidic medium.
Your Job:
The focus of this master thesis is to design highly effective, stable, and cheap materials for the oxygen evolution reaction. The activity will be studied by conduction half-cell electrochemical characterization and study the degradation behaviour to obtain strategies for minimizing corrosion while boosting the performance. Insights into the mechanism will accelerate the introduction of low-loading Platinum-Group-Metal materials for the PEM water electrolyzer. Your Tasks in detail:

Suitable datasets are an integral part of robotics research, especially for training neural networks in robot perception. However, in many domains, suitable real-world data are scarce and cannot be easily obtained. This problem is especially prevalent for unstructured outdoor environments, in particular, planetary ones. Recent advances in photorealistic simulations help researchers to simulate close-to-real data in many domains. Synthetic planetary data requires careful modeling and annotation of many different terrain aspect and details, such as textures and distributions of rocks, to become a valuable test-bed for robotics. To fill this gap, DLR developed OAISYS, a simulator specifically designed for the needs of planetary robotics visual tasks, but also applicable for other outdoor environments. The simulator is capable of generating large varieties of (planetary) outdoor scenes with rich generation of meta data, such as multi-level semantic and instance annotations.
We are seeking to further improve our simulator in many aspects and need your help in doing so. You will help to develop new modules for the simulator, which will be used for current and future robotic missions. Furthermore, you will contribute to the further development of the core code of the simulator.
This is an excellent opportunity to work on a cutting-edge topic, together with a great team, to get creative in simulation and see your work applied to real robots.

The research group “Data access and processing” develops innovative methods for storing, managing, and processing large volumes of multi-dimensional data (e.g., from Earth Observation) in distributed IT infrastructures. In particular the storage, management, and analyse of high-resolution time series data from the DLR areas space, aeronautics, transportation, and energy poses huge challenges to database management systems with respect to the expected data volume and velocity. For this, novel database management solutions have to be developed, which can store and process large volumes of time series data (e.g., coming from a large number of sensors). The solution should consider a scalable system infrastructure as well as modern data storage hardware (e.g., SSDs and persistent memory).
You will develop methods and tools for efficiently storing, managing, and analyzing time series and telemetry data from various application domains, such as robotics, connected energy systems, and satellite on-board telemetry data. The focus is on the development of concepts, which can scale to large data volumes and can be adapted to different execution environments (e.g., cloud, edge, embedded). The developed methods shall be integrated into database management systems and accompanied by modern software development processes.

Can we describe the immune-response of a host infected by a virus or bacterium on a quantitative, predictive level?The project is focused on the numerical study of the immune response following a bacterial or viral infection in a mouse animal model. The successful applicant will develop a kinetic, physiologically based immuneresponse model, adapting existing pharmacokinetic models and multi-scale models of the immune response. The candidate will develop a comprehensive multi-compartment model - compartments corresponding to specific organs, tissues and interconnections thereof - that will map the relevant anatomical, physiological and biochemical structure of the mouse body, and by a transport & rate-equation model follow the evolution of the pathogens, cytokines and relevant cells (for example Th17 cells and CD4+ T cell differentiation) of the immune system. The project is a collaboration with the group of Prof. Samuel Huber (UKE, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf) and will initially focus on computational immunology of the immune response against pathogenic bacteria causing intestinal inflammation and tissue damage, for which a variety of data exist from previous studies. In a later stage of the project, the study will be complemented by X-ray fluorescence imaging of marked relevant lymphocytes in infected mice (in collaboration with Prof. Florian Grüner, Universität Hamburg), to benchmark the theoretical model with experimental data. Finally, we envision applications of the combined theoretical and experimental approach to model and study the immune response of the SARS-CoV-2 infection.We offer an exciting, interdisciplinary, vivid research environment in Hamburg, with base at the DESY research campus (Prof. Nina Rohringer), linked to the UKE (Prof. Samuel Huber, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf), Universität Hamburg (Prof. Florian Grüner), the CSSB (Center for Structural and Systems Biology, Prof. Michael Kolbe), the newly founded Center for Data and Computing in Natural Sciences (Prof. Jan Baumbach) and the Helmholtz Zentrum München, German Research Center for Environmental Health (Dr. Weibo Li).

Free Space Optical (FSO) communications not only overcome the bandwidth limitations of RF systems, but also offer better power efficiency, security and higher data rates compared to their traditional RF counterparts. The Institute of Communications and Navigation has developed flight terminals and ground stations to demonstrate FSO in aeronautical and Space applications.
Currently, the software running on an optical terminal is tested mostly in a lab, using flight hardware. This can lead to bottle-necks both in terms of software development and access to the test setup itself. The development of a simulator for the hardware components will greatly increase the development flexibility of the whole system.

At the Institute of Energy and Climate Research – Techno-economic Systems Analysis (IEK-3), we develop strategies for meeting the global greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. In addition, we evaluate the impacts of various technologies on infrastructure for the energy carriers of electricity, gas, hydrogen, and heat. To accomplish the aim of reducing GHG emissions, the energy system is in the process of transitioning from a fossil fuel-based energy supply to a more sustainable one. In this scenario, the adoption of clean energy technologies such as battery electric vehicles, heat pumps, and photovoltaics has increased in recent years. In addition to these technologies, construction industries are also adopting battery-powered heavy-duty vehicles. However, these technologies are incorporated into the electrical grid at the distribution level, resulting in power quality issues. Therefore, this thesis aims at assessing the distribution network issues using power flow simulations on synthetic networks and performing network reinforcement to alleviate any potential challenges.

The phenomena of evaporative liquid droplets impacting onto heated wall of high temperature are relevance of many engineering problems, such as sprinkler systems for spray cooling, impingement of oil droplets on turbine engines. When the wall temperature is high enough, the vapor pressure generated from the droplet evaporation prevents the direct contact of the droplet with the solid surface. The heat transfer between them will be hindered. The aim of this work is to conduct a three-dimensional numerical simulation of droplet impact on a hot wall.

The use of hydrogen on large scale may be one of the ways to realize a future carbon-neutral and carbon-free energy society, gaining nowadays in momentum, backed strongly by government financial support and regulations. The conversion of electricity into hydrogen is a process of storage and valorization of excess electricity (as this is many times the case for renewables). In the next two decades the cost of renewable hydrogen is expected to successively break even those of low-carbon and gray hydrogen. The hydrogen may become in the mid-term future the most competitive low-carbon solution for many end applications, including commercial vehicles, trains, aviation and shipping. One should remind here also the paramount importance of hydrogen use in P2G and P2X technologies, and refinery, fertilizer and steel productions.

Recently, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have emerged as an alternative tool to classical solvers of partial differential equations. Based on an adapted loss function that reflects the physics modelled by the partial differential equations, these networks are able to describe several physical phenomena after proper training. In particular, wave propagation can be modelled by using such a PINN. Modelling wave propagation is relevant for applications in seismic imaging. Here, forward solvers of the wave equation are required to synthesize seismograms at receivers. Specifically, the full waveform inversion (FWI) relies heavily on wave propagators to obtain a subsurface image using the received seismograms.
In this thesis, the aim is to select one PINN for solving the wave equation and use it with FWI to image a subsurface based on seismogram data. After a thorough literature research on PINNs for wave propagation, different solutions need to be implemented, analyzed and compared with each other. Then a proper PINN shall be selected and the FWI needs to be implemented using this wave propagator. Using synthetic as well as real seismic data, the implementation has to be verified and appropriate performance evaluations shall be performed.

The Remote Sensing Technology Institute develops signal processing algorithms for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and software processors for ground segments in order to process the instrument raw data from the German Earth observation satellites TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X as well as the European SAR missions Sentinel-1 etc. into precise remote sensing products. As part of the VERITAS project, the institute is developing a processor together with JPL/NASA (USA) to process radar data from a future Venus mission. This is intended to generate a complete interferometric Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Venus. This processor is based on existing processors that have already been used on Earth, but Venus has special conditions, such as the absence of GPS and significant atmospheric density and temperature. Therefore, the effects of these conditions need to be analysed and, as a result, significant adjustments to the algorithms need to be made. Also, the systems to be developed must be adapted to low data rates and on-board pre-processing.

ScOSA (Scalable On-board computing for Space Avionics) is an architecture for on-board computers which aims to provide reliability and high-performance processing for spacecraft. This is achieved by using a distributed computer consisting of multiple, heterogeneous processors networked together. Commercial-off-the-shelf processors providing high performance complement space-grade, radiation-hardened processors providing reliability. A custom-built middleware allows the processors to monitor each other for faults and provides an abstraction layer, which allows applications to execute using the computing resources of all nodes simultaneously, with minimal concern for the underlying complexities of the distributed system.
In order to quantify the performance of the ScOSA system and compare it objectively with other on-board computers, benchmark applications need to be run on the system and the results collected. These benchmarks can be run on the ground to help guide development of the system, before being run in orbit to demonstrate the achieved performance.
Various standard benchmarks are available, including general purpose benchmarks which have been used on a wide variety of systems, and space-specific benchmarks (e.g. from the European Space Agency) tailored to the particulars of on-board computers and space applications. Such benchmarks can cover performance when executing image processing, encryption/decryption, artificial intelligence inference, linear algebra algorithms and more. These benchmarks need to be assessed and compared so appropriate ones can be selected, then these need to be implemented and run on the ScOSA system. In addition some ScOSA-specific benchmarks need to be designed and implemented.

Diploma & Master Thesis
Among other research topics, at the Institute of Energy and Climate Research - Techno-economic Systems Analysis (IEK-3) we work on international energy concepts in which the integration of renewable energy sources into the energy system of the future is investigated. Green hydrogen is considered an emerging energy carrier that can bridge seasonal renewable energy supply gaps and can easily be transported. Due to large potentials in less populated Southern world regions and high demands in industrialized countries, we also expect hydrogen to play a considerable role in a global energy trade market.However, the recent invasion in Ukraine with its dramatic consequences for the local population and international politics also sparks the question of energy security in European gas markets due to our strong dependency on Russian energy imports. One way out could be the accelerated transition to a fully renewable energy system. But how can we avoid navigating ourselves into new energy dependencies due to future hydrogen import schemes? And how can we quantify this risk?
Your Job:
In your thesis, you will develop an approach to classify and evaluate the relevant risk factors regarding country related infrastructure investments and global energy supply contracts for green hydrogen. Your work will focus on two main fields: The individual (exporter) country risk and risk accumulation on the importer side. Individual (export) country risks are determined by a multitude of factors. In order to complete the transformation of the current global energy system into a global greenhouse gas-neutral energy system, extensive investments in energy infrastructure, such as wind turbines, hydrogen storage or electrical transmission networks are necessary. Depending on the respective circumstances in countries in a global view, the investments are subject to different economic, political and safety risks that should be included in models of IEK-3. In general, higher investment risks will lead to higher generation costs for electricity and related infrastructure in affected areas. The risk accumulation on the import side depends on factors such as the degree of diversification of imports and political and economic ties between the different import countries. A concentration of supply on few interdependent suppliers with high institutional risk must (depending on the individual export country ratings) result in increased risk premiums when considering long-term security of supply.Various methods exist to connect potential investment risks with a monetary impact concerning the model’s outcome, however, due to the great effect of investment risks on results of energy system models, the application of country ratings concerning investment risks must be analyzed carefully. Your task is to develop a hydrogen-specific country rating scheme and derive an approach to quantify security of supply in a green hydrogen import scheme. Specific steps of your thesis are:
Depending on the scope of the thesis (Bachelor or Master thesis), additional sub-national risk factors in exporting countries may be incorporated as well. Your thesis can be written in English or German.

Due to the increasing share of renewable energy in the electrical network, the decarbonization focus has also been extended to other energy sectors. Sector coupling refers to the concept of interconnecting different energy sectors with the power sector, which can offer flexibility to the power sector and contribute to the decarbonization progress in other sectors. Therefore, new and efficient simulation methods and tools are needed in order to illustrate interactions between different energy sectors. Among which are the power, gas and heat sectors of special interest. The scope of this master thesis will be the further development of modeling and simulation tools for the gas and heat network which is capable to run co-simulation with power system.Your tasks in detail:

The Institute of Networked Energy Systems employs around 170 staff at its locations in Oldenburg and Stuttgart. With its departments of Urban and Building Technologies, Energy Systems Technology and Energy Systems Analysis, the Institute is dedicated to system-oriented questions on the intelligent and efficient linking of the electricity, heat and transport sectors. It looks at system levels ranging from the individual system to the 'smart' building to networked residential quarters and cities. In addition, the Institute evaluates energy systems at national and international level using grid structure models developed in-house as well as the methods of technology assessment and energy meteorology.
In the Department of Energy System Analysis, we conduct research in the fields of energy scenarios and technology assessment, energy meteorology, and energy system modeling. In these areas, our scientists develop, among other things, models, methods and algorithms for the simulation and optimization of energy systems based on fluctuating, decentralized power generation from renewable energies. As part of an ongoing internal research project, we are developing an open planning tool across grid levels and sectors to determine the optimal deployment and expansion of flexibility options in Germany.

The department "Chemical Kinetics and Analytics" of the Institute of Combustion Technology deals with the chemical composition of (alternative) fuels, experimental and numerical reaction kinetics, and the formation and release of pollutants.
Focus of our group is the measurement of airborne particles from different emission sources. In particular, very small, so-called ultrafine particles (<100 nm), are of high health relevance, since they penetrate deep into the lungs. However, the measurement of these particles is complex.
In the traffic sector, particulate matter is generated during the combustion process and through the abrasion of tires and brakes. In the ZEDU-1 project (Zero Emission Drive Unit - Generation 1), the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is developing and testing an innovative vehicle concept for reducing particulate emissions through mechanical processes. Part of the new concept is a so-called hybrid brake in which the braking effect is largely achieved by induced eddy currents. Mechanical braking is used only in the low speed range.
Within the scope of this work, the particle emissions of the newly developed hybrid brake are to be determined and characterized physiochemically. Online parameters such as particle number, particle size distribution and particle mass are measured by test rig experiments. In addition, the morphology and elemental composition of collected particle samples will be investigated using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) in a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
In our interdisciplinary institute you will work closely with scientists from the fields of engineering, physics and chemistry as well as mechanics.

The department of controller assistance develops prototypic support systems for Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs). This also encompasses human machine interfaces and functionalities for information visualisation to the air traffic operator.
The Controller working Position (CWP) is one of the most critical components of an ATM system as it serves as a main working environment and tool for ATCOs. It fuses complex multimodal information and visualizes a simplistic view of the information to avoid overcrowding the display screen. However, in different scenarios, ATCOs need more information, which can be explicitly requested from the CWP via additional mouse clicks and by search for keywords. This additional search can be cumbersome and might impact the situation awareness of the ATCO.
Smart system support based on the situation is a hot topic in the area of automation of Air Traffic Control. In order to create a valuable support system, it is important to assess ATCOs’ opinion about the support and help provided by the current system. This serves as a first impression of how to structure a situation-aware automated support system. The aim of this project is to design and conduct a scenario-based interactive survey, which can collect ATCOs’ feedback about the current information access mechanism and envisioned situation-aware support system.

Diploma & Master Thesis
While the recent breakthroughs in the field of quantum computing have brought us closer than ever to the realization of a completely new computing paradigm, state-of-the-art quantum computers are not yet suitable for any useful application. For successfully running useful quantum algorithms, a larger number of interconnected qubits are required, and/or qubits with a lower error rate. Therefore, there is currently a lot of interest and research activity on optimizing and developing novel qubit platforms for improving significantly with respect to these two aspects. A particularly promising alternative to existing qubit platforms is to use so-called Majorana bound states. These elusive states have been predicted to appear in certain materials and structures, and there are proposals to realize highly error-resilient qubits with them. At Forschungszentrum Jülich in Peter Grünberg Institute-9, we are investigating a promising experimental platform for the realization of such Majorana bound states, based on hybrid devices composed of topological and superconducting materials.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technology that uses the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance to produce anatomical images. Magnetic Resonance Microscopy (MRM) is essentially MRI at a microscopic level with spatial resolution in the order of microns. The spatial resolution obtained using MRM is still not comparable to that of optical microscopy. One way to address this problem is to use a multimodal approach where both MRM and optical microscopy is used together to get complementary information. This can be achieved by developing an integrated optical microscopy setup with an MR scanner. An initial setup has already been developed [1]. The goal of this project is to design, develop and characterize an MR compatible optical microscope with an 11.7T MR scanner.

Carbon is an interesting material with unique properties which enables its use in several applications ranging from energy materials to tissue engineering scaffolds. However, the fabrication of 3D complex architectures of carbon is still challenging. Additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing) enables the fabrication of 3D complex structures of variety of polymeric material. Carbonization of 3D printed polymeric material can lead to carbon 3D architectures. Using this strategy, here we aim to fabricate 3D carbon architecture using microstereolithography systems. Design-guided fabrication of microarchitected carbon structures will be investigated for superior structural and material properties, that can expand the design and material toolbox of microachitectured materials.
The specific tasks within the project will be: (i) 3D printing of precursor architectures using stereolithography; (ii) carbonization of 3D printed structures; (iii) characterization of the carbonized parts for material properties; and (iv) characterization of the structural properties of the 3D carbon structures such as mechanical strength and stiffness.

CORREL Lab stands for the “correlative characterization laboratory” and is a state-of-the-art facility newly built at the Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT) where nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray imaging (XRI) investigations will be performed on the same sample, in the same location and at the same time. The advantage of this unique approach is to gather complementary information about dynamic processes. NMR provides exquisite information about the chemical composition of a sample, while XRI provides information about the structure and structural modifications of the sample. Dynamic processes are processes which evolve in time, therefore the sample cannot be measured in a sequential manner, i.e., by transferring it between two different measurement locations, one for NMR, the other for XRI characterization. Examples of dynamic processes to be studied are: polymerization processes, self-healing materials, electro-chemical reactions, catalytic reactions.
CORREL Lab is equipped with a 7T horizontal bore magnet (similar to what is being used in hospitals for clinical investigation of human patients with magnetic resonance imaging – MRI) for NMR characterization and an Excillum X-ray source for XRI measurements. The optical axis of the X-ray setup passes right through the middle of the NMR magnet bore, so that a sample undergoes simultaneous X-ray imaging while it is being analyzed by NMR.
The main goal of the Master thesis is to design and test the world’s first NMR and X-ray imaging correlative characterization probehead at CORREL Lab.
This is a task which comes with multiple challenges related to the construction of the probehead, requiring a unified approach that takes into account optical, mechanical and electrical engineering aspects: for example, space constraints inside the bore of the magnet, the use of non-magnetic materials, the use of materials with low absorption in the X-ray spectrum etc.
Are you passionate about physics and engineering in general, and more specifically about the intersection of various domains in one single experiment? Are you ready to challenge yourself to build the world’s first NMR and X-ray imaging correlative characterization probehead? If the answer is “yes”, we are looking for you!
The specific tasks within the project will be: (i) design of a simple proof-of-concept experiment to be investigated by both NMR and XRI at the same time; (ii) fabrication in an NMR- and X-ray-compatible manner of a probehead including the sample holder for the proof-of-concept experiment; (iii) probehead testing. During the Master thesis, you will get hands-on experience on NMR and X-ray imaging characterization basics, design and manufacturing techniques, having the opportunity to get exposure to a wide range of instruments and techniques.
You will be integrated in the larger team of the Spin & Photon Applications (SPA-) Laboratory. Within this project, you will use the infrastructure existent at the Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT), i.e., microfabrication facilities, RF testing equipment, and state of the art 7T NMR scanner.

Electromagnetic levitation is defined as the stable or indifferent equilibrium of a body without material contact to its surrounding environment, which is reached by means of stored electromagnetic energy inducing, in turn, the ponderamotive forces acting on the levitated body and equilibrating the gravitational forces. Electromechanical systems implement the principle of electromagnetic levitation on a micro-scale is referred as levitation microsystems.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has become indispensable in various fields of research such as physics, chemistry and medicine. It provides a non-invasive and non-destructive method for examining a wide range of samples, for example to find out the composition of SARS-CoV-2 at an atomic level.
A homogeneous magnetic field is essential for an accurate and precise result, but this is – among other factors – altered by the sample to be examined. The magnetic field can be adjusted by so-called "shim coils", but this procedure must, in many times, be carried out manually and requires a lot of time and experience. This process is called "shimming".
To make this work easier, various algorithms have been used that relieve humans of this task, including deep learning (DL) based methods.
You will extend and improve recent advances of DL-based NMR shimming (see doi.org/10.1016/j.jmr.2022.107151). First, by improving the theoretical limitations of current approaches through state-of-the-art techniques. And second, the method will be transferred and tested on real-world experiments.

The Institute for microstructure technology is currently investigating and developing different methods of micro hot embossing. The structures obtained with this technique can be used in many applications such as photovoltaics and micro fluidics. A limiting factor of hot embossing has always been the limitation to relatively small areas. Producing molds with a sufficient area can – depending on the structures – be a challenge as well. Upscaling the hot embossing process would greatly increase the efficiency of this technique.
This thesis is therefore about developing a system for stitching hot embossed parts together very precisely. The stitched parts could then be used to produce larger molds, which in turn could be used in either classical hot embossing or in an “endless” roll to roll process structuring large (multiple square meters) areas. Besides the lateral placement of the parts next to each other, the vertical alignment and minimizing gaps between parts is a major challenge.
The thesis will consist of a literature research and evaluation of existing methods, design and implementation of different stitching techniques as well as measuring and characterizing the obtained parts/molds.

At the IMT many types of Micro- and nanostructuring processes for surfaces are being developed. Some of these surfaces equip solar panels with self-cleaning effects, let water drop off of them or improve on light coupling or reflection properties of the surface. A big challenge in the application of microstructured surfaces is the area to be structured – e.g. for solar cell coatings many hundreds of square meters have to be covered in microstructures.
To achieve this a roll to roll process for micro imprinting is being developed at the IMT. Microstructures are to be imprinted into thin polymeric films directly after extrusion. This process enables the structuring of large areas in a short amount of time. In previous works a fastening system for the molds has been developed and the process has been proven to work in principal.
This thesis is now about optimizing the imprinting process. This starts with the design and fabrication of appropriate test structures, the development and execution of a systematic test protocol as well as measuring oft he produced structures with optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, white light interferometry, etc. The IMT has the necessary technologies and expertise directly in house – furthermore an in-house workshop can assist with possible changes to machines or tools.

In Germany, refrigeration accounts for 14% of electricity consumption. This proportion is expected to increase steadily in the future. Innovations in cooling technology can therefore make an important contribution to climate and environmental protection.
Elastocaloric cooling is a new emerging solid-state cooling technology with the potential to provide environmentally friendly cooling with high efficiency. Currently, superelastic shape memory alloys (SMA) are the most promising elastocaloric materials. They respond to the application and release of stress by self-heating and -cooling, respectively, due to a reversible solid-to-solid phase transformation. SMA films are especially promising for elastocaloric cooling, since they combine a high elastocaloric effect size with highly efficient heat transfer due to the large surface-to-volume ratio of film geometries. In previous work, first SMA film-based elastocaloric cooling demonstrators have been fabricated and tested successfully. The present work intends to extend the demonstrator concept to cascaded and parallel designs to enhance the temperature range and cooling power.

Control systems of large scientific experiments include multiple thousands sensors monitoring operation of used instrumentation and properties of ongoing experiment. This information is crucial for understanding of measured data and it should be preserved for a long time after the active experimentation is finished. Often proper manual data interpretation and quality assurance is difficult or even impossible due to the tremendously increase of both number and size of datasets. This raises the need for novel automatic or semi-automatic data analysis methods and tools. Recording and organization of control data also present a few challenges due to increasing sampling rates and sheer amount of stored data during experiment lifetime.

Apache Kafka is an event streaming framework for distributed systems. It can manage the flow of thousands of events in fault-tolerant highly-available and scalable clusters. The events can be messages produced in some web applications, or even events produced by sensors in an industrial control system of a large-scale scientific experiment like KATRIN. Kafka is resourceful in events processing, it provides easy integrations with event stream processing platforms, e.g. Apache Flink, and data analytics platforms, e.g. Apache Spark, as well as an API called Kafka Connect to provide easy interoperability with all event producers and consumers.
Apache Kafka is an I/O-intensive application that relies on disk storage and advanced networking techniques to achieve high throughput and low latency. However, deploying Kafka in cloud computing environments has an impact on its performance because of the added I/O abstraction layers.

The goal of our team (section 2.6 "Seismic Hazard and Risk Dynamics") is to achieve progress in all steps leading to an improved assessment of seismic hazards beyond the state-of-the-art.
We seek a postdoctoral research scientist to support us and contribute to the development of next generation of ground-shaking models used for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, real-time post-event predictions of shaking and damage, and/or earthquake early warning. As part of on-going and forthcoming European projects, we aim to develop hybrid models of ground-motions that will integrate large-scale databases of observed ground motions, physics-based simulations of seismic waveforms, and cutting-edge machine learning methods. This next generation of models should account for potential non-linear site effects, regional dependencies of source, path and site properties and consider the calibrations of ground-motions variabilities. We are looking for a curiosity driven colleague who can build upon recent developments in physics-based ground motion modelling and/or machine learning to find innovative methods to characterize ground motion in future seismic hazard and risk studies.
These developments will benefit from the team experience in the development of ground-motion models and site effects evaluations. The recruited person will interact with international networks of experts and teams involved in the field of numerical modelling, seismology and seismic hazard/risk evaluation.
The position should be filled by September 1, 2022, but an earlier start is possible. The duration of the position will be for 3 years, with the possibility of extension. The position can be filled at a more junior (post-doc) or a research scientist level.

A central research area of the Satellite Networks department is optical satellite communications for links from low and geostationary orbit to the ground and between satellites. In this topic, the Department is the world-leader thanks to applying highly innovative approaches.
The research group Advanced Optical Technologies (AOT) concentrates on developments for future applications of free-space optical communications through the atmosphere and in space. Research topics cover areas from atmospheric (optical) turbulence and compensation of its influence to development of optical communications systems for the Ground as well as for the space segment. To do that, we cover all areas from the theory through simulation to the laboratory and channel measurements during experimental demonstrations.
The development of such systems is highly complex: for instance, the optical signals travelling through the atmospheric channel are extremely distorted. This prevents reliable communications links that require pointing precision of 1 millionth of a degree. Furthermore, the very high datarate requirements pose extreme challenge for space systems that need to not only accommodate large volumes and weight, but also increase the energy consumption of the payloads. Hence, photonic integration and an efficient signal processing as well as an efficient routing, each assuming corresponding algorithms are required in order to minimize the SWaP of the space segment. The research team is developing in this manner the next generation of communication systems for satellite communications. In your future tasks, you will focus on the technology development for very high throughput satellite optical communications systems in a range of Tbps. This includes system concepts as well as on-board signal processing assuming operational requirements in the context of the mission. You will develop prototypes using methods of model-based system engineering, take charge in the planning and leading of measurement campaigns and space qualification nationally and internationally.
We offer you a pleasant working environment in a core research and development area of our Institute, modern facilities and equipment and an opportunity to work with national and international partners on the research projects. You will work in an international team and develop pioneering results. Personal as well as professional development (e.g. PhD, PMP project management etc.) are given.

Our Institute is contributing to multi-institutional research projects developing metallic latent thermal storage systems for energy and transport applications. The research group is looking for enthusiastic students to upgrade scientific apparatus at the institute and contribute to cutting edge research.
Molten metals offer a promising alternative as thermal energy storage materials given their high latent heat, but interactions with potential housings must be evaluated to ensure that corrosion is not an issue for their use. Depending on the material pair, a reaction between melt and container may be possible, although many melts relevant to thermal storage form a passivating oxide layer.
The interactions between the molten metal and housing leading to their degradation can also be accelerated by experimental conditions, such as relative motion between the container and the melt or the submission to continuous melting-solidification cycles. In materials used to store thermal energy through latent heat, the effect of thermal cycling is especially important and the endurance of the housing must be ensured.
A successful candidate will contribute to the growth of a vibrant research group. This will involve the creation of a positive group culture, collaboration with other institutes in Germany and abroad and potential engagement with the wider scientific community through publications and conference attendance.

One of the research topics at the Institute of Biological Information Processing (IBI-3) of the Forschungszentrum Jülich is the development of neuroelectronic implants, whose potential applications include, among many, the study and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. As a question of fundamental research, we’re studying biocompatible materials and coatings that optimize the long term stability of such implants.Surface Plasmon Resonance Microscopy (SPRM) and Refractive Index Microscopy (RIM) are two label-free methods that can be used to probe optical and structural properties of cell-chip interfaces. At our subinstitute we have developed a combined SPRM and RIM setup that can measure layer thicknesses in the axial direction with a sensitivity in the sub-nanometer range and refractive indices (RI) with a sensitivity of 0.001 RIU.
Your Job:
Due to the immense sensitivity of the SPRM, its measurements are also prone to all sorts of artifacts and aberrations. And in some places, the prototype nature of the setup gets in the way of rapid sample examination. While the current state of the project dictates some modifications to the optics, hardware, and software of the experiment, its subsequent applications are virtually unlimited.To be more specific: Modifying the scanning routine of the piezoelectric sample stage and modifying the illumination light path are two developmental tasks you would need to undertake. In your subsequent employment of the microscope, a possible application would be in the studying of lipid bilayers of various compositions and formation protocols. But, and this is probably the biggest appeal of this position: as part of the project, you get to have a say in all decisions. Both in the development of the setup and in setting your research goals.

A reliable, reproducible, and stable beam injection process with a simple set-up and operation can considerably shorten the turnaround time, i.e. the time between beam dump and stable top-energy beams, which can be used by the experimental beamlines. Ideally, it would also allow to inject the maximum number of particles with a low fraction of beam loss and with a minimum perturbation to any circulating beam. At KIT the first steps in automating the injection process have been taken, applying Bayesian optimization with promising results. This project will focus on extending the algorithm to a multiobjective Bayesian optimization one. A multiobjective Bayesian optimization algorithm would allow to simultaneously trade-off between multiple objectives and find optimal settings for user-specific cases, which is of particular interest during special runs. More precisely, the algorithm will include the beam orbit as a new objective. The beam orbit is distorted by the algorithm creating unnecessary trajectory deviations, which could lead to beam losses at higher currents. This project can continue into a doctoral thesis.

Communication plays an important role both in manned and unmanned aviation. Especially in the latter case, the safe operation of an air vehicle heavily depends on a reliable communication link. This link can be subject to different attacks: Besides common “cyber-attacks” on higher protocol layers, attacks on the physical layer of the link are a possible threat. Because of the availability of cheap radio hardware and software defined radios (SDR), resilience against these physical layer attacks becomes more and more relevant in the design of wireless aeronautical communication systems.
Your research shall evaluate the threat of physical layer attacks on state-of-the-art wireless communication systems used in aviation – with a focus on systems applying orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). Based on previous findings, you will analyse current and upcoming aeronautical communication systems, identify possible vulnerabilities, and develop the corresponding attacks theoretically. In a next step, you will implement the attacks into software to observe the actual effect on the attacked system. Based on the knowledge gained from the threat analysis, you will develop concepts for effective countermeasures. You will implement your concepts in software and evaluate their performance in detail.

The evolution of landscapes containing carbonate rocks is arduous to accurately simulate with most landscape evolution models. A significant amount of water is routed in the subsurface and this breaks down the common, and fundamental, assumption that drainage area is a predictable proxy for river discharge. As a result, the effective watersheds at the land and groundwater surfaces can differ and the geometry of surface catchments cannot inform landscape evolution alone.
We are looking to hiring a postdoctoral research scientist to study the role of subsurface water flow in landscape evolution at timescales of ca. 10 kyr to several Myrs. The specific research targets are open but could be the ways groundwater can promote or hinder river capture; the effect of lithologies of variable permeability for relief evolution; the role of subsurface flow in stabilizing closed basins in mountains; or the effect of non-uniform permeability in three-dimensionally resolved bedrock. The researcher would be tasked with the development or adaptation of a groundwater model and its integration in a landscape evolution framework (CHONK, Gailleton et al., in prep.). The exact objectives of the project will be defined together with the successful candidate. Depending on their skills and interests, the work could focus more on numerical development and improvement of models, or more on more fundamental hydrogeological work necessary for the integration of groundwater and surface process models.
We also welcome and support the development of outreach activities using numerical models of landscape evolution as part of the postdoctoral project if the successful candidate is interested.
The successful candidate should have the vision and ability to participate in collaborative and interdisciplinary research activities and discussions within our research group and with local and international collaborators. The main collaborators will be Luca Malatesta (group leader at GFZ) and Boris Gailleton (postdoc at U. Rennes). Researchers in the Earth Surface Process Modelling section work on a broad range of themes and come from widely different backgrounds. We are committed to a collaborative environment to ensure that members can rely on each other’s support. We value the development of meaningful skills and experience for the personal careers of our members. We believe that a diverse team is a stronger team.

Within the scope of various projects, our institute is developing new methods for reliable navigation to enable autonomous urban air mobility (UAM, e.g., air-taxis) or autonomous driving of other modes of transport. These vehicles typically operate in environments such as urban environments, where classical radio-based positioning methods (satellite navigation, mobile radio-based navigation) are subject to strong errors such as shadowing and multipath effects.
Visual navigation plays a significant role in reliable multisensor navigation, as computer vision methods allow accurate position determination even in aforementioned environments. In contrast to the currently commercially used techniques, the focus of the institute's research is on ensuring the reliability and integrity of the determined position information. The idea is that fully autonomous flying in urban environments is only possible if it is proven that visual navigation is safe within the framework of certifications.
To achieve the goal, we analyze the effects of different types of measurement errors and how they propagate statistically through the different processing stages. This is very difficult for the neural networks typically used today and hence we want to develop, analyze and evaluate new integrity-oriented approaches.
You will contribute to the development of these reliable methods for visual navigation in the future. Your tasks will include in detail:
We offer you a very good working atmosphere in a successful research and development group, state-of-the-art equipment and an environment with national and international collaborations. You will work in an international team and develop forward-looking results. Opportunities for professional development (e.g. PhD, PMP Project Management) are given.

These vehicles typically operate in environments such as urban environments, where classical radio-based positioning methods (satellite navigation, mobile radio-based navigation) are subject to strong errors such as shadowing and multipath effects.
Ground-based augmentation system (GBAS) is a powerful augmentation system to provide real-time differential corrections for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) signals for the purpose of aircraft landings with high accuracy and high integrity. However, the requirement as well as the environment in urban vertiports is quite different from the protected deployment area for GBAS at airports. For example, the deployment site should be more compact and flexible in cities. In addition, due to size and cost constraints, the scale and quality of sensors and antennas applied may not be as high as for conventional aviation applications. The accuracy requirement for UAM applications is higher compared to classical aeronautical applications, so GNSS position determination using carrier phase measurements may be required. However, ensuring the integrity of carrier-phase-based positioning is a major challenge. An innovative U-GBAS system will address the above challenges and provide solutions.
Based on the ongoing research on the aforementioned topic at the institute, you will significantly contribute to the development and analysis of high-reliability methods for U-GBAS. Your tasks will include in detail:

The position is suitable for part-time employment.
At the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics, near-Earth space weather is observed, studied, and modeled. Space weather not only affects the functionality and orbital data of satellites, but also the propagation of radio waves, which is used for terrestrial and satellite communications as well as in satellite navigation. Given the ever-increasing dependence of society on the accuracy, availability, and reliability of satellite-based radio systems, preventive measures are needed to protect human lives and technical systems from the effects of space weather. Observation and modeling of the state of the ionosphere, which are critical components of these measures, have been conducted at DLR's Neustrelitz site for many years. Predicting the state of the ionosphere is a major challenge because it is based on complex interactions between the thermosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere, which must be observed and scientifically studied and described using modern methods.
For this purpose, we at DLR are developing state-of-the-art remote sensing instruments, including optical Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPI) and lidars (optical radars) to study winds and temperatures in the Earth's upper atmosphere (90-700 km altitude). Our institute is also participating in the European project eiscat.se (Incoherent Scatter Radar) to study the ionosphere, space weather and space climate.
Your mission will be a contribution to the development of these unique state-of-the-art instruments and observation techniques. Special emphasis will be placed on the development of mathematical retrieval techniques to improve primarily the analysis of FPI observations, but also that of EISCAT and the lidar observations.
The analysis of remote sensing observations is an ill-posed inverse problem. This means that the observed data can correspond to very different physical objects. To find the unique solution, additional information is added about the possible shape, motion, or other characteristics of the observed object. Over the past 70 years, mathematical retrieval techniques have led to groundbreaking advances in many research areas, including geophysics, atmospheric science, and space science.
Your work performance will be 19.25 hours per week. The remuneration is 75% of German TVöD group 13.

For this PhD thesis, you will use a wide range of micro- and nanostructuring processes combined with various thin-film technologies to produce superconducting microstructures suitable for generating high magnetic fields. Initially, the phase transitions in the superconducting structures are to be modified "by design" .
With appropriate simulation tools, such as COMSOL Multiphysics, you will determine material and microstructure properties. In a further step, you are going to manufacture these structures based on micro and nanoscale process steps. In a following step, you characterize these structures in terms of current-carrying capacity, and of the magnetic field strengths that can be achieved with them. Important is also their homogeneity as a function of the ambient temperature. You compare these measurements with the simulation results. After these initial steps you then carry out an iterative optimisation of the structural properties and the required manufacturing process.
In a 2nd project phase, you take the challenge of building a completely microstructured superconducting electromagnet. You will pay particular attention to mechanical stability. You are going to optimize this intrinsically through appropriate micro- and nanostructuring methods.
In collaboration with the Institute for Technical Physics at KIT (ITEP), you use production methods such as pulsed laser deposition (PLD), and chemical solution deposition (CSD), to synthesize the superconducting layers. Depending on the process control, available lithographic and, if necessary, 3D printing processes, will be used by you at the Institute for Microstructure Technology at KIT (IMT) to obtain the desired microstructures.

The Urban Modular Vehicle is being developed by DLR as part of its next-generation automotive project. A specific challenge in vehicle development today is to ensure driving safety with high safety requirements. Various sensors (such as radar, lidar, GNSS) play an essential role in ensuring vehicle’s driving safety. For highly automated vehicles (AVs), sensor technology has to meet high safety requirements as its applications extend to safety-critical systems. In particular, sensor fusion utilizing multiple sensors mounted on autonomous vehicles can provide improved performance. Therefore, it is necessary to study the sensor fusion algorithm and evaluate its performance in terms of various performance indicators such as accuracy, availability (robustness), and integrated safety. In this study, sensor simulation using a driving simulator will be performed, and target tracking performance will be analyzed in terms of accuracy, availability (robustness), and integrated safety.

Mobility has a high priority in our society. People want to reach their destination safely, comfortably and quickly. Goods must be transported cost-effectively over short and long distances. The consequences of mobility can be seen in environmental pollution, accidents and traffic jams, which increase with the ever-growing volume of traffic. These are the challenges we face at the Institute of Transportation Systems. We develop solutions for the safe and efficient mobility of the future.
Instead of only looking at individual vehicles and vehicle functions, our focus is on whole traffic systems. We therefore put emphasis on the interaction between different road users and the interaction between road users and surrounding infrastructure by considering and enhancing most recent developments esp. in terms of connectivity, digitalization and automation. In addition, finding optimal solutions for changing the mode of transportation wherever required are part of our research.
We are looking for a new employee (computer scientist, engineer) for the development of automated driving functions in highly connected traffic systems. You will focus particularly on urban scenarios, where you will explore and develop new concepts of cooperative automated driving. Here, cooperation includes cooperation with other road users, but also cooperation with road side infrastructure. Therefore, you will work on the following topics among others:

You will encounter a stimulating research environment, plenty of room for own ideas and international visibility. You will take over tasks with high responsibility that help shape the European and national environment. Furthermore, DLR offers many attractive qualification and education opportunities, including to obtain a PhD if desired.

Initial work will involve running a state-of-the-art Earth system model (FOCI) to simulate temperature stabilization scenarios with and without overshoot to assess the climate dynamics and carbon cycle response of these different scenarios. The scientist is expected to explicitly implement four core carbon dioxide removal measures (ocean alkalinity enhancement, direct air carbon removal and storage, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, afforestation) into FOCI. This will be done in collaboration with external partners with expertise in terrestrial modelling. A special focus of the analysis lies on efficiency, feedbacks and reversibility especially in the context of carbon cycle components. The candidate is expected to collaborate with other Earth system modelers as well as integrated assessment modelers.
Publishing results and contributing to interdisciplinary publications, reports, and synthesis products is expected.
Qualification
We are looking for a creative and committed scientist with PhD in a natural sciences subject and extensive knowledge of physical and/or biogeochemical modelling or Earth system modelling. Knowledge of carbon dioxide removal approaches and their assessment will be beneficial. Experience in working as part of an interdisciplinary team or with integrated assessment scenarios would be helpful.

The position will be embedded into a highly collaborative research team, well connected to national and international networks and activities in the field of opportunistic sensing (e.g. opensenseaction.eu/), sensor data quality control and AI applications (https://www.helmholtz.ai/). We are committed to open-source software and FAIR research. Our offices at KIT-Campus Alpin (IMK-IFU) are located at the foothill of the Alps and offer a multi-disciplinary research environment with excellent research infrastructure (including an own HPC cluster with GPUs).
We are seeking for a researcher with a strong background in data science and deep learning. The position will be part of the project “RESEAD - Robust Environmental Sensor data using Explainable data-driven Anomaly Detection”, which is funded within the Helmholtz AI project call 2021 and coordinated by the Regional Climate and Hydrology Group climhydro.imk-ifu.kit.edu/english at KIT’s Campus Alpin (IMK-IFU). It is carried out in close collaboration with the Data Initiative www.imk-ifu.kit.edu/english/datainitiative.php at Campus Alpin (IMK-IFU) and the department for Environmental Sensor and Information Systems at the Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research UFZ www.ufz.de/index.php.
The project and your tasks
The goal of the project RESEAD is to substantially improve the automated quality control of environmental sensor data. This task is becoming more and more challenging, and at the same time more and more important, with the increasing amount of observational data, also coming from the growing number of low-cost and opportunistic environmental sensors. Within RESEAD we will tackle this challenge by developing a combination of neural networks for feature embedding, ensemble imputation of missing data and detection of periods of low data quality, combined with an implementation to allow for the explainability of the classification. Your main tasks will be:
1) Development of a dense embedding of spatio-temporal information from multiple sensors
2) Deep generative modeling for probabilistic missing data imputation
3) Deep time-series segmentation and classification for automated sensor quality control
The partners from UFZ will work on the explainability of the classification and will lead the sustainable technical implementation (CI, containerization, interfaces) of all parts. Within the project we will mainly work with specific sensor data from KIT and UFZ, and, in particular, commercial microwave link attenuation data for rainfall estimation as well as SoilNet soil moisture sensor data. We strive to create a solution that is generic and allows applications beyond this project to a wider range of environmental sensor data.
