The department for Safety Critical Systems and Systems Engineering researches technologies and design methods for future aircraft systems. The main focus is on the components and the architecture of the flight control system and electrical energy supply systems. A major cost driver in the development of new aircraft systems is the verification of functional safety for system certification. Complex test benches are currently being set up and used for this purpose. The vision for the future is to replace these complex test benches with simulation-based tests. For this it is necessary to provide trustworthy simulation models.
As part of your job, you will develop new methods for creating trustworthy simulation models for aircraft systems with the purpose of using them for simulation-based verification. You validate these models using test benches in the department based on test runs with real hardware. In addition, you specify test strategies for simulation-based verification and derive requirements for the models from them.
In our department you will become part of a dynamic and scientifically highly innovative team. You benefit from the existing expertise and infrastructure and contribute to their continuous development in the course of your work. If you have the necessary degree of personal responsibility and share with us the high standards on the scientific quality of your work, we can offer you the ideal environment for personal and professional development at an internationally high level.

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.
The thesis can be written in German or English.

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.
This thesis can either be written in German or English language.

As a part of the energy transition to renewables, photovoltaics will deliver a big contribution to global energy production in the foreseeable future. Thus the Institute of Microstructure Technology is currently developing novel microstructured coatings for photovoltaic panels for the use in sunny but extremely dry climates. These coatings enable dry (i.e. without water) self-cleaning of sand and dust particles for the panels thereby increasing overall efficiency. The coatings are now to be tested under controlled conditions to optimize various parameters of the microstructures.
In a previous thesis a vibration table has been developed serving as a test bed for the coatings. The first part of this thesis will be developing the experimental setup consisting of an optimized control for the vibration stage, application of the particles, observation with optical microscopes as well as an automated way of data evaluation. The second part of the thesis will consist of actual measurements with different surfaces to optimize the geometry of the microstructures. This thesis can be written in German or English language.

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.

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.
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:
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.

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.

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.

The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is an essential asset in Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Unfortunately, UML is based on a fixed meta model providing classes and objects only. Multi Level Modeling (MLM) is breaking with this paradigm. It offers the notion of a Clabject, which is a hybrid of a Class and Object. With this new element it is possible to chain instantiations across multiple levels. This is a promising approach to simplify the models used in MBSE and to improve accessibility for our engineers.

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.

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.

In the context of the micro Nuclear Magnetic Resonance team of the Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT), you will develop a system to measure novel flow regimes with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. To this end, you will design, manufacture and test a modular probe head, compatible with one of the most powerful magnets in Germany. This system should allow for the measurement of a wide range of different microflow patterns, often inaccessible by other flow measurement techniques. To do this, you will profit from the variety of manufacturing techniques available in situ, including but not limited to additive manufacturing, machining and laser cutting. Given the high degree of interdisciplinarity of this thesis, candidates lacking in one of the areas, but with a good background on the others, will be tutored and instructed in the others. It is also possible to join the team at IMT before the master thesis as a student scientific aid (HiWi) in order to gain familiarity with the MRI hardware, software and manufacturing techniques available in situ. This master thesis is conceived in a dynamic and technological context. You will be in regular contact to experts on each and all of the relevant fields. You will be exposed to a great number of state-of the art technologies and projects, giving you the opportunity to explore and learn about related projects and developments.

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.

Satellite-based free-space optical communications uses low-divergence beams to reduce transmission power requirements at high data rates. This requires very precise knowledge of the current attitude of the communication terminal in space in order to establish a link. Precise information is only available over the optical channel if a link has already been established. However, this information is already important during the acquisition phase in order to shorten the search time until the opposing target is found.
Therefore, in this thesis an attitude estimation algorithm shall be developed, which combines several sensors like gyroscope and magnetometer with the help of a Kalman filter to increase the accuracy of the attitude information during the whole operation of the terminal.

In Germany, refrigeration accounts for 14% of electricity consumption. Cooling on a small scale, as it is required, e.g., in electronic chips, lab-on-chip systems, chemical and biological analysis, is often performed by miniaturization-compatible thermoelectric cooling, which is however rather in-efficient.
The search for energy-efficient, ’green’ alternatives has recently lead to increased interest in solid-state cooling based on caloric effects. Among these, the elastocaloric effect in shape memory alloys exhibits particularly high temperature changes and material-level coefficients of performance (COP) exceeding 80% of the thermodynamic maximum. Shape memory alloys belong to the class of smart materials showing heat absorption, heat generation, actuation and sensing. The goal will be to explore the potential of the elastocaloric effect in these materials for small-scale or ’microcooling’ applications, making use of shape memory films. Although this thesis is targeted at miniature scale cooling, it may also be used for larger scales in parallel architectures.

Oscillating vortices are generated when fluid flows past a bluff body and are known as Von Karman vortex street. The bluff body leads to alternating low-pressure areas, which cause periodic crosswind forces. The crosswind forces can be highly undesirable since they cause vibration, but they can be employed to design vortex flow meters. Therefore, it is very beneficial to evaluate flow behavior in Von Karman vortex street in order to address the adverse effects of vibration as well as to improve the performance of vortex flow meters.
Furthermore, magnetic resonance velocimetry is one the best methods to obtain a 3-dimensional 3-component velocity map due to three main advantages. First, it is a completely noninvasive method. Second, there is no necessity to have optical access to the sample. Finally, one does not need to add any tracing particle to sample to measure the velocity.
Aforementioned reasons led to the idea of evaluating flow behavior in Von Karman vortex street by magnetic resonance velocimetry. The selected applicant is supposed to make the samples based on the design of Von Karman vortex street and perform MRV experiments to assess flow behavior. Having knowledge in fluid mechanics and MRI is a plus, but there will be some training hours especially to get to know how to perform experiments with MRI machine.

In Germany, 14 percent of electricity consumption is used for refrigeration. This amount is expected to rise steadily in the future. Innovations in this field can therefore make an important contribution to climate and environmental protection.
The young research field of elastocalorics has the potential to provide efficient and environmentally friendly cooling power. Elastocaloric cooling is based on the reversible release and absorption of heat when specific materials are subjected to mechanical stress or stress-relieved. So far, most frequently the material class of shape memory alloys (SMA) has been used and investigated for its elastocaloric effect. In addition to shape memory alloys, elastomers such as cross-linked natural rubber also exhibit the elastocaloric effect. The elastocaloric effect in elastomers is of special interest for environmentally friendly and low-cost cooling applications.
The focus of this work is on the application of rubber-based films. These have the potential to overcome the various challenges associated with elastocaloric cooling, including large adiabatic temperature changes and exceptional fatigue resistance under dynamic loading. Based on these, a demonstrator of an elastocaloric cooling unit will be designed, fabricated and investigated.
The thesis can be written in German or English.

Praktikum
Your Job:
Quantifying the activity of enzymes operating within the large-scale biochemical network is a fundamental challenge in Systems Bio(tech)nology. Here, the unknown parameters must be inferred from models that are incomplete and data that involve errors. For such challenges, Bayesian analysis using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) has become the gold standard.
For addressing high dimensional parameter inference problems with Bayesian statistics, powerful MCMC methods have been proposed, for example the MCMC differential evolution and the Riemann Manifold Langevin Monte Carlo methods. Because of the specific structure of the inference problems occurring in metabolic models, direct application of these MCMC algorithms is, however, 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 algorithms. You will implement the ensuing algorithms in an existing C++ framework, validate and benchmark them with a realistic case study.
The main focus of the project can develop either more in the mathematical theory of MCMC, the implementation of code for the Jülich supercomputers (GPU/CPU), or being combined with a practical modeling project.

The aim of this work is to propose a first setup for a breast cancer detecting wearable ultrasound detector system (“USCT Bra”) based on the 3D ultrasound Computer Tomography method of KIT. The industrial cooperation partner IcosaMed (CH) is working on the development of a first wearable monitoring device for women’s breasts, in a “smart bra”. This solution will offer a simple monitoring solution for women with genetic breast cancer risk factors or cancer history. These populations represent respectively 0.3% and 3% of all women, or 1.3 million and 13.8 million women in developed countries.
The IPE at KIT developed a prototype for 3D ultrasound tomography (3D USCT) aimed at breast cancer diagnosis and carried out a first clinical study. The current prototype under commissioning is aimed at a larger multicenter study. The IPE also developed imaging algorithms and software as well as methods to optimize a given system layout. The current prototypes are stand-alone systems of the size of a patient bed with a transducer aperture with 34 cm diameter and 2304 ultrasound elements. The patient bed includes motion mechanics and data control and acquisition electronics.
The main challenge of this feasibility study will be to combine the ideas of a wearable USCT bra with the patient bed design of 3D USCT, i.e. to miniaturize the system. In this first step the system layout of the ultrasound transducer aperture in form of a bra will be considered. The feasibility study should result in a proposal for the number, position and needed characteristics (center frequency, bandwidth, and opening angle) of the ultrasound transducers and make a prediction about reachable resolution and contrast of reflectivity imaging.

The “Earth System Model Evaluation and Analysis” department at the DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics (DLR-IPA) and the “Climate Modelling” department at the University of Bremen jointly invite applications for a Master Thesis in the field of Earth System Model Evaluation in collaboration with the Department of “Earth System Modelling” at DLR-IPA.
Despite significant progress in climate modelling over the last few decades, systematic biases and substantial uncertainty in the model responses remain. For example, the range of simulated effective climate sensitivity - the change in global mean surface temperature for a doubling of atmospheric CO2 - has not decreased since the 1970s. A major cause of this is differences in the representation of processes occurring at spatial scales smaller than the model grid resolution (e.g., clouds or atmospheric gravity waves). These need to be approximated through parametrisations that represent the statistical effect of that process at the grid scale of the climate model. This impacts the models’ ability to accurately project global and regional climate change, climate variability, extremes and impacts on ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles. As part of the European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant on „Understanding and Modelling the Earth System with Machine Learning (USMILE, www.usmile-erc.eu/)“, machine learning based parametrizations for the ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic (ICON) model are developed with the goal to improve the representation of these subgrid-scale processes in ICON-ML.
In this Master Thesis you will evaluate the representation of clouds in ICON-ML simulations with observations. Simulating clouds with global climate models is particularly challenging as relevant physics involves many non-linear processes covering a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. You will compare the ability of the ICON-ML model with a ML-based cloud parametrization to high-resolution ICON simulations as well as to other climate models that are based on physical parametrizations (ICON-A and EMAC) and will assess possible differences.
The work will start with the identification of appropriate evaluation diagnostics and observational data from a literature review, followed by incorporating them in python into the Earth System Evaluation Tool (ESMValTool, www.esmvaltool.org/), an open source evaluation software package being developed by IPA in collaboration with international partners. You will apply these diagnostics to climate models to compare their performance with respect to the models’ ability to simulate clouds. This will be followed by applying causal discovery techniques to identify the drivers of cloud formation and to improve understanding.

The position is suitable for part-time employment.
The Department of Earth System Model Evaluation and Analysis at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) invites applications for a PhD Position in the field of Machine learning (ML) - based parametrizations for climate models under the supervision of Prof. Veronika Eyring.
Despite significant progress in climate modelling over the last few decades, systematic biases and substantial uncertainty in the model responses remain. For example, the range of simulated effective climate sensitivity - the change in global mean surface temperature for a doubling of atmospheric CO2 - has not decreased since the 1970s. A major cause of this is differences in the representation of clouds and other processes occurring at spatial scales smaller than the model grid resolution. These need to be approximated through parametrisations that represent the statistical effect of that process at the grid scale of the model. This impacts the model’s ability to accurately project global and regional climate change, climate variability, extremes and impacts on ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles. High-resolution, cloud resolving models alleviate many biases of coarse-resolution models for deep clouds and convection, wave propagation and precipitation, but they cannot be run at climate timescales for multiple decades or longer due to high computational costs. New approaches are required that exploit opportunities from increasing computational power while building on and expanding the knowledge gained from theory and observations and continuing the inclusion of missing processes in the models.
While efforts are underway to develop convection resolving high resolution global climate models where some of the physical processes can be explicitly modelled, smaller scale effects will continue to be parameterized in models covering long time periods or in those that require additional complexity beyond the traditional physical model setup. A potentially promising way forward that is addressed in this thesis is to develop machine learning and especially deep learning technique-based atmospheric parametrizations for the Icosahedral nonhydrostatic (ICON) atmospheric general circulation model.
The candidate will be part of an international team of the European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant on „Understanding and Modelling the Earth System with Machine Learning (USMILE, www.usmile-erc.eu/)“ and will be co-supervised by Prof. Pierre Gentine (Columbia University, New York, USA, gentinelab.eee.columbia.edu).
During your PhD you will utilize high-resolution ICON simulations (large eddy simulations – LES and cloud resolving simulations) that can resolve clouds to develop a machine learning parameterization, and will implement the new parameterization into ICON to perform climate projections.
At the DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics we provide excellent facilities with opportunities to work with world-renowned experts in the field of Earth system modelling and observations. You will be part of the Earth System Model Evaluation and Analysis Department which develops and applies innovative methods, including ML techniques, for the analysis of Earth system models in comparison to observations with the aim to better understand and project the Earth system. The department is strongly linked to international research activities within the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), with substantial contributions to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP).

Nowadays, enormous amounts of data are produced everywhere, and this is also the case at DLR. The data is mostly generated by numerical simulations on high-performance computers or by high-resolution sensor systems mounted on e.g. satellites, aircrafts, or drones. The amount of data generated is already so huge that subsequent analysis and visualization take a lot of time and thus incur high costs. Often, analysis on a local workstation is not even possible due to insufficient hardware resources. For this reason, high-performance infrastructures must be integrated into the analysis process.

Gravitational waves from colliding black holes, exploding stars or maybe from dark ages of the universe tell us about the evolution of our cosmos.

The efficiency of solar power plants is reduced by dust deposited on the module surfaces. In the operation of solar power plants, the resulting efficiency and the costs spent on cleaning play an important role. To optimize the cleaning schedules and to be able to detect other errors, it is essential to measure the soiling losses of the solar collectors. Soiling affects different parts of the collectors and the collector field very differently. Therefore, soiling data of the whole collector field in spatial resolution of a couple of square centimeters is of high interest.
In the offered position you will obtain such data from photos taken with drone-based or anyways installed surveillance cameras. Next to this experimental task, you will have the chance to boost your programming skills and further develop soiling measurement methods for photovoltaics and concentrating power plants which have been already verified by DLR.

The Scientific Visualization group at the Institute for Software Technology creates interactive and intuitive visualization applications for end-users and other stakeholders. Data that we receive from variant sources, e.g. simulation studies, sensors etc., comes with its own set of uncertainty. Uncertainty is the possibility that the observed data or model predictions could take on a set of possible values. The term risk is also used for those uncertainties where the potential error and bias remain unquantified. Therefore, it is critical that the methods we use to visualize this data must effectively calculate and show the underlying uncertainty or risk. Moreover, the relevance and meaning of uncertainty are different for different users (for example, domain experts, politicians, and laymen). Therefore, the solution should be applicable to the broad range of users.
Numerous studies have investigated and developed various uncertainty visualization techniques. For example, different graphical annotations: error plots, violin plots, quantile dot plots, and different visual encodings: fuzziness, arrangements, size, transparency etc. and other uncertainty visualization techniques like animations, contours etc. However, many of these techniques are not applicable as the size of the data increases or the domain of the data changes. We receive a large amount of data of spatio-temporal nature. Using simple uncertainty charts, for example violin charts for extensive timelines leading to many years, is very ineffective due to the clutter it brings, which impedes its readability.
In the scope of this thesis, different uncertainty visualizations, primarily of big spatio-temporal simulation data, needs to be investigated. Then applicable techniques need to be implemented or developed if no suitable technique exists. This thesis will investigate many of the following questions in the broader sense. However, this is not an exclusive task list and the student can form its own research directions.
If you enjoy visualizations and are interested in this thesis, we are looking forward to receiving your application. We are also welcome to discuss any innovative ideas that matches to the scope of this thesis. You can start immediately.

Among the various transducer materials, shape memory alloys (SMAs) offer a number of unique properties including thermoelasticity, superelasticity, actuation at highest work densities up to 107 Jm-3 and self-sensing. SMA actuators make use of temperature-induced martensitic transformation allowing for high actuation force and stroke length. Their characteristic of being a “smart material” becomes particularly advantageous upon miniaturization, as technology constraints pose severe limitations on the number, geometry and size of functional structures.
The goal of the Master Thesis will be to explore the potential of the shape memory effect in a novel out-of-plane actuator design for miniature actuation applications, with emphasis on utilization of low-grade heat as heat source < 200 ℃.

Besides of a strict defossilization, negative emission pathways for taking care of hard to abate emissions need to be trod in order to reach the goal of greenhouse gas-neutrality. Sequestration of CO2 out of the air combined with underground storage can be an important puzzle piece within these pathways. The efficient operation of Direct Air Capture and Storage facilities is dependent on a variety of different site-specific factors. Due to the high electrical and thermal energy needs site-specific assessments of renewable potential is necessary. Local climate conditions can have an impact on the sequestration efficiency and need to be taken into consideration.

The use of bipolar memory devices to achieve synaptic connectivity in neural networks is highly dependent on the ability of the devices to perform analogue conductance modulation using electrical stimuli in the form of identical voltage pulses. Typically, the filamentary components of the valence change memory (VCM) type exhibit abrupt SET switching behaviour and gradual RESET switching behaviour. Therefore, obtaining an analogue modulation of the conductance during SET and RESET is a challenge. In order to achieve analogue writing modes with ultra-short pulses, using a Bias tee, we can simultaneously apply a series of ultra-short pulses (ps) and a continuous read voltage. So one can measure the resistance changes while applying pulse trains. The aim of the thesis is to

The goal of this thesis is to design a new data structure for simplicial complexes (in arbitrary dimensions) that is completely compatible with distributed computing analysis pipelines. Simplicial complexes are becoming more and more crucial in the analysis pipeline since they intrinsically provide topological information of the data. The raw (point cloud) data of interest is mainly produced by e.g. numerical simulations exploiting HPC resources or high-resolution sensor systems mounted on satellites. On such raw data a simplicial complex is constructed (either using a Delaunay meshing strategy, in low dimensions, or by generating a Vietoris-Rips complex in higher dimensions). Handling such a representation, it has been historically troublesome, and only in recent years, a novel model for efficient topological data structures over a broad range of simplicial and cell complexes has been defined, the Stellar decomposition.
A Stellar decomposition of a complex is a collection of regions indexing the complex’s vertices and cells such that each region has sufficient information to locally reconstruct the star of its vertices, i.e., the cells incident in the region’s vertices. Stellar decompositions are general in that they can compactly represent and efficiently traverse arbitrary complexes with a manifold or non-manifold domain. As a concrete realization of this model for spatially embedded complexes, the Stellar tree has been defined. A Stellar tree combines a nested spatial tree with a simple tuning parameter to control the number of vertices in a region. Stellar trees exploit the complex’s spatial locality by reordering vertex and cell indices according to the spatial decomposition and by compressing sequential ranges of indices. The major limitation of Stellar trees is how it is encoded the simplicial complex. This is encoded in a global data structure, that does not really support distributed computation in HPC facilities.
In this thesis we want to design another concrete realization of the Stellar decomposition model that entirely support distributed computations while at the same time providing a much more efficient strategy for encoding the simplicial complex. Some expected key features, this representation should have, are: (i) de-centralized encoding of the simplicial complex, such that the mesh is encoded independently by multiple MPI workers (for example) and still be able to provide a comprehensive and coherent representation of the simplicial complex, (ii) generic representation that can provide a compact way of encoding a simplicial complex also in single workstation configuration environments (compared to a Stellar tree), and (iii) to have comparable performance to Stellar trees at performing Topology Data Analysis operation on the indexed data.

Neural interfaces are electronic devices that interact with the nervous system to capture and control neural activity, aiming in this way to map neural networks, understand the principles behind neurodegenerative diseases, and/or restore sensorimotor functions. One of the main challenges of current neural interfaces is to achieve seamless integration and mimic from a mechanical, electrochemical, and physiological perspective different nervous tissues. To this end, a 6-month master thesis project is proposed for the development of flexible organic neuromorphic devices, mimicking not only synaptic responses and neural plasticity with organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) but capturing neural activity with microelectrode arrays (MEAs), and integrating such devices into different nervous tissues (e.g.: retina and brain) using tissue-like materials.

Time-series applications are continuously growing in big data environments like large-scale scientific experiments, Internet of Things (IoT), IT infrastructure, finance and health technologies. Different time-series databases relying on different storage engine have been developed. To understand their performance characteristics, we have developed SciTS, a benchmark for time-series databases in large-scale scientific experiments and Industrial Internet of Things.
The continuous evolution of time-series databases challenges the design and the architecture of SciTS. In a collaboration with Clapsode, a startup supported by the “Microsoft for Startups” program, we aim to extend the design of SciTS to support evaluating the new time-series databases. The student is expected to contribute to and extend the design of SciTS by taking Clapsode’s Data Layer TS database and other emerging database technologies as a use-case. He/She (f/m/d) will adapt SciTS architecture to enable efficient utilization of all features provided by new database technologies. The main goal is to extend SciTS API and its parametrization to be able to fairly compare a wide range of databases in applications for scientific instrumentation and industrial IoT systems.

The DLR is currently setting up the research wind farm Krummendeich (WiValdi, forschungspark-windenergie.de/). Two multi-Megawatt wind turbines will be installed in 2022. The turbines themselves as well as the wind farm will be equipped with a large number of sensors to allow research in all fields of wind energy science. The Institute of Atmospheric Physics at Oberpfaffenhofen is responsible for meteorological observations in the wind farm. Load characteristics of wind turbines, wind farm effects and short-term forecasts are only some of the research topics that can be investigated at the site in future. For this purpose, we plan to operate three Doppler wind lidars (DWL) and a microwave radiometer (MWR) at the site. Measurements with these instruments allow to capture the state of the flow field in and around the wind farm as well as the atmospheric stratification throughout the boundary layer. The wind farm is well suited for investigations of the interaction of wind turbines with undisturbed atmospheric flow as well as the influence of wind turbine wakes on loads and efficiency of downstream turbines. One DWL will initially be installed on the nacelle of a turbine.
The PostDoc shall operate the instruments in the field and develop new measurement strategies to characterize the average flow field and turbulence in the wind farm. A close cooperation and synthesis with numerical models up to the point of data assimilation is envisioned for the future. The PostDoc is encouraged to develop new project ideas and contribute actively to the scientific community.

The Department of Rocket Engine Systems at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) invites applications for a PhD Position in the field of safe reinforcement learning for efficient control of safety-critical systems like liquid propellant rocket engines.
Many control problems encountered in areas such as robotics and automated driving require complex, nonlinear control architectures. Modern control techniques such as nonlinear model predictive control can be used for these problems, but often require significant domain expertise from the control engineer. The combination of reinforcement learning with deep neural networks as function approximators, known as deep reinforcement learning, represents an interesting alternative to implement such complex controllers.
Although deep reinforcement learning has shown its potential to control systems like fusion reactors or liquid propellant rocket engines, it is certainly not the go-to method for such a safety-critical application.
We are looking for a motivated PhD student to support us changing that and making deep reinforcement learning safe and robust. Concretely, your tasks will involve:

More and more space missions use commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components in order to provide the necessary computational performance for modern applications, like image processing or autonomy algorithms. Often those COTS components are not space-grade, meaning that they are vulnerable to radiation. Incoming radiation can lead to so called soft errors in those components. These vary in their severity, ranging from no effect up to a complete component failure.
A possible way to overcome the issue of providing safe operations for a spacecraft in the presence of a node-stop failure is the establishment of a distributed architecture in which several interconnected nodes provide the desired functionality for the spacecraft. In case of a failure of such a node, other nodes can take over the responsibilities and tasks of the failed one until it recovered.
A fault-tolerant middleware for a distributed, heterogeneous on-board computer is developed in the context of the Scalable On-Board Computing for Avionics (ScOSA) project. The middleware includes the functionality of distributing the tasks of the spacecraft to the nodes. The middleware does that in a static, pre-defined manner, meaning that all possible scenarios of node failures and task distributions will be calculated at design time and stored in the middleware, such that it can recall them as soon as the corresponding node failure scenario appears during run-time. Handling the reconfiguration in this static way brings the advantage of a fast reaction in case of a failure, while also being easily traceable for human operators on ground. The downside of this approach is the consumption of additional memory to store all possible scenarios even when they will never be used.
The opposite of such a static off-line mechanism is the approach of reconfiguring on-line, which means that the reaction to a node failure will not be pre-calculated but decided in the moment of the failure by the middleware itself. This involves deducting the best possible configuration, given the current state of the system in particular the nodes.
The goal of this thesis is to research, develop and evaluate on-line reconfiguration mechanisms for the ScOSA middleware focusing on the task distribution and the path routing between the nodes. Another important aspect of the researched mechanisms is the traceability for human operators, meaning that decisions made by these algorithms can be easily understood on ground. Additionally, the mechanism should also work in a decentralized way if possible.
The thesis includes the following tasks:

Your Job:
Intending to characterize neuronal networks, diagnose, and treat medical diseases, one of the research fields in our institute is the development of penetrating neural implants for reading and modulating the neural activity of the brain and other nervous tissues in in vivo applications. However, different physical and biological challenges must be addressed before the intended application becomes available to society. These neural implants are needed to harmonize with the mechanical properties of the target tissue, thereby reducing foreign body reactions that can lead to scar tissue and further implant rejection. To this end, this project aims to develop a ultra-conformal intracortical implant based on polymeric thin film composites, such as polyimide, parylene-C, and polydimethylsiloxane.

The Institute of Virology focuses on experimental approaches to combat human pathogens, including the airborne SARS coronavirus-2, which causes COVID-19, a potentially very severe infectious disease. It is largely unclear what underlying factors influence disease progression, and the events of the past 2 years have shown that we urgently and compellingly need a deeper understanding of pathogens that can trigger pandemics.
To this end, the Institute of Virology at Helmholtz Munich is engaged in basic virological research to define therapeutic targets, develop antiviral drugs, develop a better understanding of the immune response to viruses and to vaccines, as well as to the pathological effects of infection on the respiratory organs, the immunopathogenesis of viral infections, and the influence of pre-existing diseases on the clinical picture.

The position is suitable for part-time employment.
The Department of Earth System Model Evaluation and Analysis at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) invites applications for a PhD Position in the field of “Causally-constrained machine learning (ML) - based parametrizations for climate models” under the supervision of Prof. Veronika Eyring.
Despite significant progress in climate modelling over the last few decades, systematic biases and substantial uncertainty in the model responses remain. For example, the range of simulated effective climate sensitivity - the change in global mean surface temperature for a doubling of atmospheric CO2 - has not decreased since the 1970s. A major cause of this is differences in the representation of clouds and other processes occurring at spatial scales smaller than the model grid resolution. These need to be approximated through parametrisations that represent the statistical effect of that process at the grid scale of the model. This impacts the model’s ability to accurately project global and regional climate change, climate variability, extremes and impacts on ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles. High-resolution, cloud resolving models alleviate many biases of coarse-resolution models for deep clouds and convection, wave propagation and precipitation, but they cannot be run at climate timescales for multiple decades or longer due to high computational costs. New approaches are required that exploit opportunities from increasing computational power while building on and expanding the knowledge gained from theory and observations and continuing the inclusion of missing processes in the models.
While efforts are underway to develop convection resolving high resolution global climate models where some of the physical processes can be explicitly modelled, smaller scale effects will continue to be parameterized in models covering long time periods or in those that require additional complexity beyond the traditional physical model setup. A promising way forward that is addressed in this thesis is to develop innovative methods combining causal discovery and deep learning -via neural nets- in a consistent framework (ensuring the neural nets respect the causal structure of the system).
This work will support and enable the development of causally-constrained machine learning and especially deep learning technique-based atmospheric parametrizations for the Icosahedral nonhydrostatic (ICON) atmospheric general circulation model, which have the potential to solve problems arising from using conventional neural nets that do not take causal relationships into account.
The candidate will be part of an international team of the European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant on „Understanding and Modelling the Earth System with Machine Learning (USMILE, www.usmile-erc.eu/)“ and will be co-supervised by Prof. Pierre Gentine (Columbia University, New York, USA, gentinelab.eee.columbia.edu) and Prof. Jakob Runge (DLR Institute of Data Science, Jena, climateinformaticslab.com/). The project will entail visits at Prof. Runge’s Causal Inference and Climate Informatics Group.
During your PhD you will utilize high-resolution ICON simulations (large eddy simulations – LES and cloud resolving simulations) to develop causal neural net approaches that can be applied in the development of machine learning parameterizations, and will implement the new causally-constrained parameterization into ICON to perform climate projections.
At the DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics we provide excellent facilities with opportunities to work with world-renowned experts in the field of Earth system modelling and observations. You will be part of the Earth System Model Evaluation and Analysis Department which develops and applies innovative methods, including ML techniques, for the analysis of Earth system models in comparison to observations with the aim to better understand and project the Earth system. The department is strongly linked to international research activities within the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), with substantial contributions to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP).

The Institute for System Dynamics and Control significantly contributes to the development of international standards such as Modelica or the Functional Mock-Up Interface (FMI). Thus, the modeling of complex multi-physical systems is methodologically advanced and the exchange of even proprietary component models is promoted. The applications under consideration come from all three departments of the institute, i.e. Vehicle Systems Dynamics, Aircraft Systems Dynamics and Space Systems Dynamics.
In order to advance the digitization of rail transport, the approach is now being pursued within the framework of Europe's Rail Joint Undertaking (ERJU) and in accompanying internal projects. There, environments for the implementation, verification and use of complex digital twins are to be developed. The basic idea is to assemble a digital twin from compiled, reusable and interoperable model units, so-called functional mock-up units (FMUs), to initialize them consistently using standardized data formats (e.g. railML) and to connect it to a GAIA-X compatible, cloud-based data infrastructure.
The research is based on defined use cases. The research infrastructure NGT-FuN represents the institute’s own use case, in which a rail vehicle running gear developed for the DLR’s Next Generation Train (NGT) concept is to be tested and advanced.

The MSL group and its collaboration partners are working towards practical realization of the superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) photoinjector for the future continuous wave (CW) operation of the European XFEL. CW operation of the RF photoinjector demands high performance photocathodes which are characterized by sufficiently high quantum efficiency (QE) in combination with a low initial emittance. Semiconductor photocathodes have the necessary capabilities to meet the requirements of the CW FEL. However, implementation of semiconductor photocathodes for the SRF gun brings additional risks to operational stability due to the increased probability of contaminating the volume of the SRF gun. Metal photocathodes are more robust and fit better into the clean environment of the SRF gun, however less, but still sufficiently high QE materials (Pb, Mg) need to be coated and hence provoke contamination, too. Metals suitable as substrate like copper or niobium have two orders of magnitude less QE.Implementing novel photocathodes by surface structuring rather than coating allows one to keep the advantages of clean metallic photocathodes whilst at the same time benefiting from increased of the QE. One of the approaches is based on applying the surface plasmon phenomena which assumes nanopatterned photocathode surfaces. The nanostructured surface’s impact on the transverse emittance needs to be studied in detail (both numerically and experimentally). DESY’s comprehensive infrastructure enables the full cycle of this research to be carried out on site: production of novel photocathodes, experimental setups for tests under operational conditions and IT infrastructure for complex numerical simulations. The successful PhD candidate will have an opportunity to contribute to all aspects of this research, but the main focus will be on numerical simulations.

In the development of future military aircraft the propulsions system require a very high degree of integration into the fuselage in order to minimize radar signature, in particular to prevent the rotating blades of turbomachinery to be detectable from the outside. Often this is realized by contoured- S-shaped inlets, inducing a substantial amount of inlet distortion to the fan or low-pressure compressor. This results in a potentially reduced stability margin and in general compromised fan operability and performance. The focus of the work is to better understand this complex interaction by application of modern CFD methods and derive corresponding design patterns to account for those effects during the design phase already.
In greater detail the following topics shall be addressed during the tenure:

At DLR’s Institute of Propulsion Technology we are passionate about carrying out research for emission reduced propulsions system for today’s and tomorrow’s civil aircraft. One of the key components in this context is the actual propulsor, since it dominates the efficiency of the entire system and its optimization still offers large potentials for reducing aircraft emissions and hence minimizing climate impact at system level.
We design, test and analyze in detail different propulsor concepts, whether it be classical, high bypass-ratio turbofans or open and more propeller-like configurations. Apart from choosing an adequate propulsor concept for a given mission, its aerodynamic integration into the entire aircraft and the corresponding feedback it has on the component’s performance, is of great interest. To better understand the propulsors behavior we use wind tunnel experiments or component tests, as well as complex numerical simulations.
The following, exciting tasks will be carried out as part of your tenure:
Carrying out all of the aforementioned tasks will be based on long-term experience existing in the fan group and the department, and are part of ongoing research projects. The possibility for a PhD is given and will be supported.

This is the first important step in creating a digital twin. For this purpose, we want to generate a data pool with different sensors, from which the model of an industrial facility is constructed. Objects and classes are extracted and redundant data is merged. The result will be a 3D model with identified objects, containing in particular information about the location and connections of water pipes, cables and other relevant components.

Since rocket engines operate at the limits of what is technically feasible, they are inherently susceptible to a wide variety of different faults. The immense costs associated with the loss of the launch vehicle or a test bench clearly show the importance of a suitable fault detection system. Such system has to provide a proper diagnosis in real-time from existing sensor data to detect and classify abnormal behavior and, for example, to trigger an emergency shutdown.
Currently efforts are underway to develop suitable fault detection systems with machine learning. Due to the safety critical application of rocket engines the number of experimental data for the training of neural networks is very limited. Therefore, the training has to be done with synthetic data which were generated with numerical simulations. However, in real world applications the measured values are noisy to varying degrees.
The aim of this work is to analyze the difference between synthetic and experimental data for a rocket engine test bench and to develop a method which allows the extension of existing machine learning models to account for the differences.

The Institute for the Protection of Terrestrial Infrastructures aims at the stable supply of society. The development of methods for detecting and defending against threats is just as much a part of the tasks as improved management in the event of major emergencies. In the department "Digital Twins for Infrastructures", complex networked supply systems, socio-technical interrelationships as well as buildings and technical facilities are modeled and simulated in terms of structure and behavior. By tracking the models with real-time data and providing intelligent tools for crisis teams and emergency forces, digital twins are created that provide new possibilities for monitoring and responding to crises. They also provide a basis for analyzing and optimizing the resilience of terrestrial infrastructures.
Digital Twins represent a physical instance as closely as possible within the digital world. Through continuous twinning using real-time sensor data the Digital Twin enables – by the use of models or adaption of the data from similar instances – a prediction of behavior of the real instance. Additionally, the Digital Twin is able to parallelly evaluate prognosis and optimization possibilities by analyzing the current state and context of the Digital Twin. The added values of the Digital Twin can be improved by increasing the number of data sources, mapped instances or connections made.
The most decisive challenge is the necessary, highly complex flexibility of the platform considering various applications, the combination of diverse data sources and models of partial systems, and the communication between distinct data suppliers. The resulting complexity should be treated by a standardized approach using modular components and connectors. The resulting Cloud-Computing Platform plays a major role for the feasibility and added value of future Digital Twins and shell improve the management of research data.
Your mission is the Design and Development of a highly complex Cloud-Computing Research Platform for Digital Twins.
This includes the following responsibilities:
You will contribute to enhance the added value of Digital Twins through the connection of real-time sensor data to Digital Twins. Furthermore, the DT-Cloud-Computing Platform enables the application of Digital Twins within crisis situation and therefore supports decision-makers and emergency personnel during all phases of crisis situations.
You will implement your ideas in a dynamic and innovative institute of the German Aerospace Center. You can expect an advanced team spirit, excellent infrastructure with state-of-the-art equipment and current development environments. We also actively support you in your professional and scientific development.

Scientific / postdoctoral posts
Your Job:
The monitoring of water, heat and carbon exchange between plants and the atmosphere provides important early warning information for agricultural management during extreme events, such as heatwaves. The AgroC crop growth model simulates gross primary productivity (GPP) and net ecosystem exchange (NEE) using gap-filled meteorological data, measured/reported plant specific parameters and soil characteristics. In an available coupled mode with SCOPE, AgroC can assess carbon and water related plant fluxes as well as sun-induced fluorescence. However, there is a potential to exploit remote sensing spectral data to full extent if AgroC is coupled properly to leaf and canopy radiative transfer models (RTM). This also enables AgroC to forward simulate optical spectra, including sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF). The approach not only facilitates the quantification water and carbon budgets, but also further assist in tracking the net radiation partitioning into soil evaporation, canopy transpiration and photosynthesis, which is highly relevant for the accurate representation in climate and crop models. In this framework are seeking for a PostDoc and a PhD Student, whereas the PostDoc will work on RTM, coupling the RTM to AgroC, and model inversion techniques and the PhD Student will work on crop parameter estimation using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) observations and investigating the relationship between optical/thermal data and vegetation fluxes.

Your Job:
Neural interfaces are electronic devices that interact with the nervous system to capture and control neural activity, aiming in this way to map neural networks, understand the principles behind neurodegenerative diseases, and/or restore sensorimotor functions. In particular, this project comprises the investigation of implantation forces of penetrating retinal implants and the invasiveness to the retinal physiology. To eventually implement retinal prosthetic devices in humans, we first have to characterize its biocompatibility. The current state-of-the-art aims for a better implant-tissue interface and long-term stability, however to what extent the implantation process influences the local neuronal network, is less known.

The aim of the Institute of Quantum Technologies in Ulm is to develop precision instruments for space applications based on quantum technologies and to bring them to prototype maturity in close cooperation with industry. Together with the Institute for Satellite Geodesy and Inertial Sensing in Hannover and the Galileo Competence Center in Oberpfaffenhofen, the institute in Ulm plays a pioneering role in these fields of research and application.
Within the institute, the quantum engineering department engages in development of applicable quantum technologies for space missions as well as terrestrial areas. This involves design, simulation, realization and testing of prototype systems. A major goal is their miniaturization especially under the severe constraints and harsh conditions that space missions are facing. To achieve this, it is necessary to master individual manufacturing processes and methods, such as assembly and integration of systems containing quantum optical, cryogenic, or vacuum technologies.
Investigations into the foundations of quantum mechanics and their link to gravity and general relativity require sensitive quantum experiments. To provide ultimate insight, the realization of experiments in space will sooner or later become a necessity. Quantum technologies and among them quantum memories are providing novel approaches to reach conclusive experimental results. A better operational understanding of quantum technologies in space is furthermore crucial for large scale technological development of satellite-based quantum-communications networks.
Our department is therefore looking into the development of quantum memories. As a first step, we are building an optical quantum memory based on rare-earth-ion-doped crystals (REID). This setup will serve as a platform to investigate applications and possible strategies for miniaturization. To support this effort, we highly benefit from our involvement in project BECCAL, which will offer the capability to operate a quantum memory on the International Space Station.
It is possible to create a master’s thesis as part of this job.

You will utilize cutting-edge technologies established in the lab with ex-vivo and in vivo mouse models to examine the possible role of ferroptosis in the early Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) event after Lung transplantation (LTx). Unfortunately, lung transplantation displays the worst long-term survival in all solid organ transplantations. Although surgical technique, donor selection, lung preservation, and immunosuppressive therapies have been advanced, the median survival after lung transplantation has increased only slightly, to just 6.7 years in adults. With this project, you will help understand the role of ferroptotic cell death in Ischemia-reperfusion injury.

The global SARS-CoV2 Pandemic has demonstrated the urgency to develop new tools for our arsenal against pathogens. If YOU are passionate about designing the next generation of mathematical models and machine learning algorithms in virology – we are looking for YOUR talent!
Viruses require host cells to procreate and spread their progeny. For this, they enter cells, replicate and egress in a stepwise process occurring through interactions between molecules of the host cell and the pathogen molecules. These are known as host-pathogen interactions, they include various host mechanisms exploitations by the pathogen. Synchronized with virus entry, uncoating, and replication through a virus genetic program, virus induce dramatic changes of cell morphology. These may be observed in cell culture using light microscopy techniques at a moderate magnification. However, connecting the dynamics of host-pathogens interactions at cellular and tissue levels requires advanced simulations.
Using Physic-informed Neural Networks in differential equation discovery mode, as well as data-driven discriminative and generative approaches developed in our group, YOU will develop a Digital Twin model of infected cell dynamics on the scale of a tissue, which will help us understand how viruses spread across the tissue.

You will do research on smart aircraft interior structures capable of reducing cabin noise with a minimum of weight. This will contribute to a more sustainable aviation in the future. The main objective of your thesis is the development of active noise control for aircraft interior parts to counteract noise close to the passengers. Key features of such an active component are the structure-based sensing scheme and the modularity. The structure-based modular concept avoids the distribution of microphones in the cabin and permits each active interior part to act independently and decentralized. The active component is also able to emit useful sound (e.g. passenger announcement) or improve sound quality through noise masking or psychoacoustic features.
Your mission is to develop a modular and robust aircraft interior part with active noise reduction capability. Major intermediate results for the development of such a part are the selection of a suitable structure-based sensing scheme, the optimization of actuators and sensors, the design and implementation of a controller and the structural integration of the active components. Each active part will contribute to the reduction of noise in a neighboring region of the cabin and their assembly will facilitate a global reduction in a dedicated section of the aircraft or even in the whole cabin.
You will work in the Smart Structures Department of the DLR-Institute of Composite Structures and Adaptive Systems in Braunschweig Germany. At the same time, you will be enrolled as PhD student at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg at the chair of Adaptronics of Professor Hans Peter Monner who is also head of the Smart Structures Department of DLR. You will be supervised by very experienced post-doc researchers of the Department and you will be fully integrated into the vibro-acoustics team of the Department.
In addition to your scientific project, you will benefit from further continuing education, which includes secondments (internships), a variety of training modules as well as transferable skills courses and active participation in workshops and conferences.
You will spend three secondment periods at our project partners Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium), Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain) and Müller-BBM Active Sound Technology GmbH (Germany) for a duration of three months for each secondment. During your secondment, your will receive supervision and training at the premises of the receiving organization. Secondments are mandatory.

]]>PHD Thesis
You will do research on innovative acoustic treatments for aircraft interior structures to reduce cabin noise with a minimum of weight. This will contribute to a more sustainable aviation in the future. The main objective of your thesis is to develop an acoustic cabin simulator that allows the identification of cabin noise sources by numerical simulation of coupled fluid structure systems. The aircraft cabin is surrounded by various vibrating structures (ceiling and sidewall panel, hatrack, floor) which act as noise sources and contribute differently to the cabin noise depending of the load case. By identifying the most important noise sources for different load cases, effective treatments can be investigated and evaluated in the numerical framework on cabin level. Relevant load cases will be obtained from measurement data of full-scale aircraft on ground or in-flight operation.
Your mission is to develop a numerical framework suitable for the identification of the noise contribution of cabin interior parts. Noise maps of the cabin with vibrating surroundings will be calculated in order to understand sound pressure distributions caused by different parts. Based on this numerical framework the efficiency of individual acoustic treatments of cabin interior parts will be assessed.

Research in the field of new aircraft concepts, e.g. hybrid-electric aircraft, for more sustainable flight operations is steadily gaining in importance. Life cycle assessment (LCA) methods are often used to determine the ecological impacts, as they can provide a holistic statement on all life cycle phases. However, these methods cannot sufficiently fulfil the specific requirements with regard to an ecological life cycle assessment of aircraft concepts and corresponding propulsion technologies. These include, for example, the consideration of complex interactions during operation as well as the long aircraft service life, but also criteria of the circular economy such as the recyclability of components.

At DLR we are developing miniaturized communication terminals that operate at optical wavelengths. These terminals have many advantages over the traditional radiofrequency systems: higher data rates, miniaturization, security, few regulations, …
One of our newest developments is the project CubeISL. It is based on past projects that are currently operating in space, like OSIRIS4CubeSat. Its main goal is transferring the technology of laser communications from direct-to-Earth (Space to ground) towards intersatellite links between two CubeSats. On CubeISL we are currently testing the first design iteration. The purpose of this test is to verify the functionality and quantify the performance of each subsystem (mechanical, optical, electronical, software, and their interfaces). Once this is finished, we will proceed to integrate and qualify the CubeSats that will fly to space in 2024.
What would your task be in CubeISL?
Your working student position will consist on assisting the CubeISL team, especially in the Lab, with any test that is to be performed. This position offers a unique opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary environment, develop and work with hardware that will fly to space, and help establish the new state-of-the-art in optical communications with CubeSats.
Of course, we don’t expect you to come with all the necessary knowledge to build an optical-communication CubeSat. But with time, we would like you to be motivated to learn and assist as much as possible during the integration, testing, and qualification process.

At the Centre for Lightweight-Production-Technology in Stade, the department of Composite Process Technology is concerned, among other things, with highly productive fiberplacement processes for large-scale structural components. The research platform GroFi (Large Fiber Placement Plant) is a highly flexible multi-robot system for the automated production of fiber composite components on a real scale. The objective is a significant increase in both the effectiveness and the efficiency of the manufacturing process.
An important aspect for the prediction of production-related defects in the fiberplacement process is the knowledge of the adhesive force of the material to be processed to the substrate. In addition to the material used, this also depends on the process parameters applied. In a previous work, a model approach was therefore developed which depicts the relationship of the resulting adhesion force as a function of the process parameters for dry fibermaterials.
Within the scope of the present work, the elaborated model approach is to be validated by extensive tests andadapted if necessary.
You will process the following tasks:
It is possible to combine your thesis with an internship. The scope of the thesis can be adjusted if necessary.

Are you interested in shaping the future energy generation by contributing through the analysis of a solarized cement process?
We, the Solar-Chemical Process Development team within the Institute for Future Fuels are looking for a motivated mechanical/chemical/process engineer (or similar) for a Master Thesis to investigate the topic of a solar heated cement process coupled to calcium looping for a CO2-neutral operation.
Several energy-intensive industrial processes require thermal and chemical treatment of particulate material. Typical examples are the production phosphate, lime and especially cement. Reducing greenhouse gas emission is becoming a critical issue for these industries, leading to a sharp increase in efforts to replace fossil energy sources with renewable ones. One promising option is the utilization of concentrated solar energy for the high temperature particle treatment in a solar reactor, since this can provide the temperatures of up to 1000 °C required in the processes. Such a solar heated rotary kiln was already tested at the DLR in a solar simulator. Combining the reactor with calcium looping allows also the capture of CO2 from the remaining sections, which are not operated with solar energy.
To understand the coupling and synergies of the solar plant with the existing cement process, a detailed process simulation has to be performed. Through this, potential for improvement can be highlighted and a pathway for the implementation of such a process can be established.
The tasks during the Master Thesis are:
Flexible working hours allow you to balance work and family life, and we give you the freedom you need to fulfill your tasks.
You will be part of an interdisciplinary and international team of engineers, physicists, chemists and material scientists. The group has experts both for the modelling and for the experimental demonstration of solar processes, who will support you.

The fluctuating nature of solar irradiance causes fast changes in the power production of PV plants. Due to the higher penetration of variable renewable energy systems in the electricity grid, regulations for connecting and operating PV plants might get more restrictive. One aspect in the related grid codes are limitations of ramp rates during short term irradiance fluctuations. These fluctuations are triggered by passing cloud shadows. Positive ramp rates (increase in power) can be limited by the inverters, the critical issue are downward ramp rates. One possible and straight-forward approach to reduce ramp rates is the installation of battery storage. However, this brings along significant additional investment costs. Recent studies indicate that short-term irradiance predictions (nowcasts) are capable to provide a similar service at lower cost. In the case of downward ramp rates, a nowcasting strategy allows reducing power outputs well in advance and thus limiting the gradients. The associated loss of used power is over-balanced by the much lower costs for a nowcasting system compared to a battery storage dedicated for ramp rate mitigation. This holds especially for large scale PV plants (> 10 MW). Furthermore, the combination of a nowcasting system with a battery storage could lead to a significantly lower required capacity. First investigations with uncertainties of nowcasting systems show potential in the reduction of ramps in PV plants. In further investigations, a techno-economic study should show the potential of nowcasting systems in PV power plants with batteries. Spatially resolved irradiance nowcast are required for this purpose, which can be obtained by all sky imagers (available at DLR).
Objective of the master thesis
The aim of the master thesis project is to investigate the potential of all sky imager based nowcasts for the ramp rate reduction of large-scale PV plants.
The following steps are foreseen:

Clouds have a significant impact on the amount of shortwave radiation that is reflected, transmitted and absorbed by the atmosphere. On a local scale they are the decisive factor for short-term variability of solar irradiance reaching the ground. Hence, they are strongly influencing power outputs in solar energy applications. With an increased share of renewable energies, particularly solar, information about current and future states of solar irradiance is therefore valuable and can lead to cost reduction and risk minimization for the operation of solar power plants and electrical grids. To determine the effects of clouds on current and short-term solar irradiance in high resolution, ground-based imaging using so-called All-Sky-Imagers has become a widespread field of research. However, precisely localizing and classifying clouds in the sky can be a challenging task, for instance, due to variable form and shape of clouds, oversaturated image areas in vicinity to the sun, large distances to the camera, and overlaying cloud layers. As a result, current methods for cloud detection and classification often show high error rates. An alternative approach that could lead to better short-term solar irradiance forecasts (nowcasts) would be to estimate the model’s uncertainty and provide probabilities of detected cloud types and their location. So far probabilistic cloud detection has not been addressed in the literature and the impact on solar irradiance nowcasts needs to be investigated.
Objective
In the context of this work, a probabilistic cloud detection model needs to be implemented and compared to an existing deterministic counterpart. The focus will be especially on the development of deep learning models that have proven to perform best on many computer vision tasks, like classification, object detection and segmentation.
The tasks include:

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have become indispensable in various research fields such as physics, chemistry and medicine. They provide a non-invasive and non-destructive method for characterizing or imaging of a wide range of samples.
Recently, Raser-MRI (a new contrast mechanism without radio frequency pulses) has been developed, allowing for inexpensive hardware, higher resolution, and imaging without external rf-excitation. However, the contrast is based on cooperative nonlinear interaction between all slices of the image.
To efficiently model and correct for image artefacts, deep learning methods could be utilized to process MRI images.
Your task: You will use deep learning techniques to map simulated and acquired free induction decay (FID) signals to (1D+2D) MRI images. Your task includes finding the most suitable architecture structure (e.g. convolutional vs fully-connected vs recurrent neural network) to correlate FIDs to 1D MRI profiles, and to implement a functioning pipeline in pytorch.
You will be part of Prof. Korvink’s research group where you can get support from members with expertise in NMR theory, methodology, hardware, and simulation.

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. However, a major challenge to train those DL methods is the availability of data. Here, simulations come in handy and could be used to support data accessibility. Unfortunately, the available simulations lack properties of real hardware (like non-idealities, non-symmetric behaviour), and thus, cannot be used efficiently.
Your task: You will extend recent simulation tools to incorporate real-world properties. You either improve a custom python-based simulation, or create a Comsol simulation to mimic the physics of a real-world magnetic field.
You will be part of Prof. Korvink’s research group where you can get support from members with expertise in NMR theory, methodology, hardware, and simulation.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has become indispensable in various research fields 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.
The outcome of such NMR measurements is often a spectrum, which precisely describes the content of the examined sample. Deep learning methods are currently utilized to process the spectrum and extract features. However, the spectra are often of high dimensions, and thus, the computational demands for processing them are high.
Luckily, spectra contain unimportant information like noise, and a small set of variables can often describe the critical features.
Your task: You will use deep learning techniques to compress spectra into a set of descriptive features that are enough to reconstruct the spectrum from them. Specifically, autoencoders (or encoder-decoder networks) are a promising approach: The encoder compresses the input to a small latent representation, and the decoder can reconstruct the input given this latent space. Your task includes finding the most suitable autoencoder structure (e.g. VAE) to compress NMR spectra, and to implement a functioning pipeline in pytorch (or similar).

Progress in virtually all areas of physics research relies on recording and analyzing enormous amounts of data. This is equally true for the high energy physics at LHC, planned future lepton and neutrino detectors, as well as for experiments at high-intensity light sources such as the EU-XFEL or PETRA III. Recent improvements in detector instrumentation provide unprecedented detail to researchers. At the same time data rates far outpace the improvements in the performance of storage systems. Online data reduction is crucial for the next generation of detectors.
We aim to establish a closer integration of the data acquisition workflows with cloud-enabled HPC centers. The goal of this work is to build infrastructure to push data from the detector directly into the local HPC data center and rely on the HPC resources for data processing and reduction. The rapid advances in the Ethernet technology allow sufficient readout bandwidth, but efficient data distribution methods relaying on RDMA technologies are required to utilize network capacity efficiently. One of the challenges is to design an efficient protocol to facilitate communication between DAQ hardware and data processing cluster and to simplify development of scalable data reduction modules. As a pilot project, we aim to enable deployment of extremely complex Machine Learning models which can be executed across multiple nodes and accelerated using FPGAs, GPUs, or/and custom neuro-computers. We aim to enable real-time data reduction and classification of data streams with rates in the 10 - 20 GB/s range per detector (multi-detector systems are envisaged).
The student is expected to perform a subset of the following tasks:
Benchmark high-speed communication protocols, e.g. UDP, STCP, QUIC. Research available high-throughput alternatives to the standard Linux network stack, e.g. DPDK or LibVMA.
Latest Mellanox adapters allow offloading part of packet processing into the hardware. Investigate the provided features and suggest if they can be used to further increase network throughput.
Evaluate available RDMA extensions to deliver data directly to the computation accelerators like FPGAs or GPUs, e.g. RoCE or iWARP.
Design an application layer protocol integrating Ethernet-connected detectors with data-processing clusters. The protocol should include control channel for setting and reading detector parameters (registers) and high-speed data streaming channel.
Evaluate different methods to scale data flow across multiple cluster nodes. Assess scalability potential, fault tolerance, costs and simplicity of implementation.

Computed Tomography and Laminography are indispensable tools for studying inner structures in materials and biological spices. New instruments relaying on different types of energy-matter interaction principles, technological advances in instrumentation and detection technologies open a way for increasing number of new applications. Many of these applications, however, pose a challenge for a high quality reconstruction due to low signal-to-noise ratio, limited or non-standard acquisition trajectory, etc. Traditional reconstruction algorithms are ill suited for the low-dose, limited angle, or spectral tomography. Instead regularized iterative reconstruction techniques are recommended to improve reconstruction quality through incorporation of available prior information. While a proof-of-concept has been already established in mathematical community, there are significant challenges in adapting them for a wider use in labs and research facilities. One of the main aspects is extremely high requirements in terms of memory consumption and computing power.
There is an ongoing international effort to build a modular reconstruction framework providing an extensive library of regularization techniques and also practically viable for cutting-edge scientific and industrial applications where conventional algorithms fail. You will join the project and will contribute your numerical and computing skills to optimize the performance of reconstruction and regularization pipelines. The project is performed as a collaboration between the University of Manchester (UK), STFC (UK), DTU (Denmark) and KIT.
We can offer multiple tasks widely varying in terms of complexity and focus. The available options range from simple integration and benchmarking tasks (offered as internship only) to a more complex projects like careful optimization of selected regularization algorithms for recent hardware architectures. The tomographic reconstruction is a data-intensive task and the performance is heavily dependent on efficient usage of processor caches. We are interested in both fine-tuning of traditional multi-threaded CPU codes and also in leveraging the massively parallel architectures like GPUs and FPGAs. To reduce memory consumption, mixed-precision computations are envisaged. The actual task within project will be offered during the interview depending on applicant skills and interests.

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.

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) has the goal to be able to describe the complete system of a gas turbine in aviation and power generation as a virtual engine using numerical methods. At the Institute of Propulsion Technology, we pursue this goal in close collaboration with the recently founded Institute of Test and Simulation for Gas Turbines.
A key ingredient is the highly accurate description of the flow within the gas turbine. For this purpose, the department of Numerical Methods of the Institute of Propulsion Technology has been developing the DLR CFD solver for turbomachinery flows TRACE since 1989. TRACE is applied in research as well as in the design process at our industry partners (MTU Aero Engines, Siemens Energy). Besides the routinely applied RANS methods, which rely on a statistical modelling of turbulence, we intensively study the development of methods which resolve a great part of the turbulent scales (LES). We apply both finite volume (FV) and discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods. Both methods enable us to investigate complex flows in turbomachinery in great detail and gain insights for physical modelling, amongst others using methods of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
We are looking for a highly motivated team member to develop and optimise discontinuous Galerkin methods in TRACE for massively parallel computations with respect to node-level performance, scalability and flexibility. You will investigate the new methods in pioneering applications and present your work to the international research community at both national and international conferences as well as in scientific journals. You will become a part of the realization of a numerical test rig for compressor and turbine cascades and its application to modern blade profile families. You will work in a dynamic, interdisciplinary team with more than 20 scientists, which comprehensively deals with the problem of turbomachinery flow simulations. On the basis of modern software engineering methods, you will use your fluid mechanics and software development expertise to bring in your own ideas.

We know many quantum algorithms which promise a speed-up in comparison to classical methods. And there are some speculations about the origins of such a quantum speed-up, for example that entanglement plays a crucial role. A deeper understanding would be important to employ quantum computers efficiently and to develop new quantum algorithms to solve important computational tasks.
In your PhD studies you will add one piece to this puzzle. You will analyze a specific algorithm which is relevant for the DLR and other users. You do this in some kind of gedankenexperiment, where you systematically alter the rules of quantum mechanics and by doing so you identify those which are key to the quantum runtime advantage. Beyond this approach you will study if and how extensions of quantum theory suggested in the literature affect the speed-up.
You will do your PhD studies in the team of the quantum computing group at the Institute for software technology. Here you benefit from the daily discussions with our experts on quantum computing. You also regularly interact with your PhD supervisor, Prof. Dr. Dagmar Bruß of the Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, and take part in the activities of her group.
