PHD Thesis
Your Job:
Gravitational waves from colliding black holes, exploding stars or maybe from dark ages of the universe tell us about the evolution of our cosmos. Following the Nobel Prize in physics of 2017, we are now planning the next generation of even more sensitive observations. The so-called "Einstein-Telescope" (ET) is European`s future in gravitational wave detection. It might be built in the Euregio. For more information, see www.einsteintelescope.nl or www.et-gw.eu
Gravitational waves are detected by laser interferometers based on the concept of the Michelson Interferometer. The ET will include six of those interferometers with arm lengths of 10 km each in an underground, triangular configuration. To avoid interaction of the laser beams with air or any residual gas the laser beams will travel in ultrahigh vacuum tubes (UHV) with a diameter of approximately 1 m. In total, there will be 120 km of those tubes. It will be by far the largest UHV system ever built. You will work on the design of the vacuum system.
Your main topics will be:
Most of your work will be at ZEA-1 in close collaboration with the groups involved in the development of the ET at RWTH Aachen University.

Diplom & Master
Your Job:
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

At DLR's Institute of Solar Research, the scientists and engineers contribute with their work to making an environmentally friendly energy supply technically and economically possible. In the Solar Power Plant Technology department, we conduct experimental and computer-based research, development and testing for the intelligent and largely autonomous solar power tower of the future. The scientists and engineers are already using simulations as the operational basis for power plant operation. Here, artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role.
In a solar power tower, a large number of biaxial tracking mirrors, so-called heliostats, concentrate the incident sunlight onto a receiver mounted on a tower. Each of these heliostats has individual errors which cause missing the designated aim point on the receiver. To counteract these errors, the heliostat must be calibrated regularly. For this purpose, a physical geometry model of the heliostat is created using the deviation from the designated aim point. However, this model does not fully represent the real heliostat and only uses the center of gravity of the focal spot.
Your task is to replace the physical geometry model with the model of a neural network. This neural network is able to model further geometry errors as well as temporal errors of the heliostat, e.g. due to aging. For this purpose, you will use a simulation model based on a differentiable raytracer, which you will further develop together with our team of scientists and engineers. Raytracing involves tracking thousands of individual light rays. The differentiable character of this raytracer enables the inversion of the problem.
At the end of your work, you will validate the data-based geometry model by your own experiments at the solar tower in Jülich. Together with our team, you will thus bring the differentiable raytracer into application.

Scientific / postdoctoral posts
Your Job:
The transformation of our energy system towards greenhouse gas neutrality requires large quantities of materials for the construction of new energy technologies. Among them are critical materials whose availability may be limited due to various constraints. These constraints include geological resources and reserves, geopolitical developments, current and future limits in recycling, and material demand from other sectors of the economy. This can lead to material bottlenecks that could subsequently jeopardize the energy transition. Against this background, your research should focus on the one hand on the future material demand by energy technologies together with a PhD student co-supervised by you and on the other hand on analyzing the availability of primary raw materials as well as the competing material demands of economic sectors beyond the energy system. Here, the following questions, for example, are to be addressed: How much of which primary raw material can be obtained where at what cost? What potential politically induced supply constraints might there be? Which materials are only available as co-products? How does material demand scale with lifetime and plant size? How might future technology developments impact material demand for energy technologies? How does material demand from other sectors of the economy evolve? Your creativity and expertise is needed to answer these questions. The results of your research should be integrated into a holistic open-source material energy system model in order to identify possible future material bottlenecks of the energy transition and options to avoid them. This is ideally compatible with our energy system model FINE: github.com/FZJ-IEK3-VSA/FINE

While rail transport is a very safe and highly energy-efficient means of transport, 76% of all goods and 83% of all passengers are transported on roads in EU-27. To shift more traffic to rail, the railroads of the future must become more attractive and competitive by implementing innovations in both rolling stock and infrastructure. Hence, we are researching together with industry new applications such as collision avoidance, virtual coupling of trains, and autonomous driving trains. Key enabling technologies for these applications are secure and reliable radio communications and train localization.
Together with a team of internationally renowned experts, you will research and develop next generation AI based train localization algorithms in national and European projects. Through these projects, you will participate in large scale campaigns to gather measurement data from global navigation satellite system receivers, next generation (6G) wireless ranging systems, inertial measurement units, and magnetic field sensors in relevant environments. Using the measurement data, you employ multi-sensor fusion algorithms and AI methods to realize a safe and robust next generation AI based train localization. You will publish and present your results in international journals and at international conferences and network with leading researchers in the field of localization.

ScOSA (Scalable On-board computing for Space Avionics) is an architecture for on-board computers which aims to provide reliability and high-performance processing for spacecraft. This is achieved by using a distributed computer consisting of multiple, heterogeneous processors connected by a network. Commercial-off-the-shelf processors providing high performance complement space-grade, radiation-hardened processors providing reliability. A custom-built middleware allows the processors to monitor each other for faults and provides an abstraction layer, which allows applications to execute using the computing resources of all nodes simultaneously, with minimal concern for the underlying complexities of the distributed system.
ScOSA does not yet provide real-time services or to run applications with real-time requirements on all nodes. However, in the context of this master thesis, we aim to propose an extension of ScOSA that can guarantee a real-time reconfiguration of nodes and provide services to run applications with real-time requirements, hence, we call it RT-ScOSA. For that end, we will restrict our interest to a minimal version of ScOSA. This master thesis should propose the design and implementation changes that have to be considered to make ScOSA real-time capable.

The broad application of sustainable aviation fuel as a substitution for fossil kerosene is contingent upon low fuel production costs. The Fischer-Tropsch reactor design can have a significant impact on the process energy efficiency and production cost. An optimal reactor design integrated into an entire process model is needed for the market introduction of SAF.
The proposed master thesis aims to use advanced Fischer-Tropsch reaction kinetics of an development partner (NTNU, Norway). Different models of a slurry bubble column reactor will be integrated into a Power-to-Liquid process model. The new kinetic reaction model will be implemented in a FORTRAN subroutine and subsequently integrated into the same Power-to-Liquid process model. A comparison focusing on energy and carbon efficiency will be conducted for both process designs. A techno economic assessment will be performed for both processes to quantify the benefit of improved kinetics.

Technological developments in recent years have transformed air cabs from a science fiction concept into a potential solution for urban transport of the future.
The institute is developing new methods for reliable navigation within the framework of various projects, thereby enabling autonomous air transport (UAM, e.g. air cabs) or autonomous driving of other modes of transport.
These vehicles typically operate in environments such as urban environments where high accuracy is required but the performance of satellite navigation techniques is degraded by local effects such as satellite signal shadowing and multipath. Efficient and safe landing of UAM vehicles in vertiports in urban areas is a challenge.
A Ground-Based Augmentation System (GBAS) is a powerful augmentation system to provide real-time differential corrections to GNSS signals during aircraft landings with high accuracy and high integrity.
However, the technical requirements as well as the environment in urban vertiports are significantly different from the protected deployment area for GBAS in airports. For example, the deployment site should be more compact and flexible in cities, and the efficiency of the applied sensors and antennas may not be as high as for conventional aviation applications due to smaller size and cost constraints.
In addition, a carrier-phase-based GNSS positioning solution is required due to the high accuracy requirements for UAM applications. However, integrity monitoring of the technology remains a key challenge. An innovative U-GBAS system should address aforementioned requirements and provide solution approaches.
Join us in addressing this challenge. Based on our ongoing research, you will develop reliable navigation methods for U-GBAS. Among other things, you will do research for innovative methods for fault detection and exclusion in a U-GBAS network and demonstrate the developed systems in flight tests with drones.
We offer a pleasant working atmosphere in a successful research and development group, state-of-the-art equipment and an environment with national and international cooperations. Opportunities for professional development (e.g. PhD, PMP Project Management) are given.
Flexible working hours and an individual arrangement for mobile working are a matter of course for us. If we have made you curious, we look forward to getting to know you!

Rust is developed to be a memory-safe programming language, which makes it promising for developing safety-critical applications. However, we need to bound the execution time of tasks in worst-case scenarios when the software has real-time requirements.
In this project, we study the implications of Rust features on the worst-case execution time. The programming language impacts the flow-facts, i.e., indirect jumps, control-flow graphs, loop bounds, etc. Rust is not an OOP and more C-like language. Also, some new semantics and concepts are presented by Rust have never been studied, e.g., the "borrowing" feature. For example, the trait objects, which represents a useful interface, perform dynamic dispatching, which may cause indirect jumps similar to virtual methods in C++. Therefore, we would like to take a closer look and verify the analyzability of the developed code. The Rust compiler generates an LLVM intermediate representation (IR) of the code, which may make applying flow-facts computation on the IR possible. In a previous project, we developed a flow-facts computation based on dynamic symbolic execution for C++. We would like to verify and improve, if needed, our proposed solution (DELOOP) to cover the new programming language Rust.

State estimation of Energy Storage Systems (ESS) is really important for its safe and optimal operation. State estimation could be of various kinds of which State-of-Charge (SOC) and State-of-Health (SOH) is what is commonly researched. For energy management of ESS, it is important to estimate the amount of energy that could be taken out of the ESS. This is termed as State-of-Energy (SOE) of ESS. The energy capacity varies according to the operation conditions, as can be seen in the following graph.
Under higher current rate and/or higher temperature the ESS cannot deliver the defined nominal energy capacity. Thus, under dynamic current rates and temperatures the SOE has to be actively updated, based on which an optimal energy management strategy could be defined.
SOE estimation works based on ESS models. But unfortunately, ESS modelling is not straight forward and SOE estimation under external factors such as balancing, uneven temperature distribution in ESS, and others could make it a complex task overall. One of the ways to solve this problem is by utilizing Machine Learning (ML) techniques to build a black box model of the system based on real operation data. This is the aim of the advertised master thesis. During the master thesis various ML techniques could be applied on 1-year data (250msec resolution) and SOE estimation models could be developed and compared on real operation of the system.

Lithium Ion Batteries (LIB) are recently the preferable energy storage technologies for multiple applications due to its reducing investment costs. Based on the application where the storage is used, the ageing of the battery differs strongly. And at the same time to be able to optimally use the storage systems, tracking the health of the battery is important.
Ageing of LIB happens through different mechanisms, which is briefly accumulated in the image above. Some prominent mechanisms includes growth of the SEI layer, structural damages due to repetitive charging and discharging, lithium platting due to High C-rate, high SOC and or extremely high and low temperature.
As a part of Project BiFlow at Battery Technology Center, ETI, a 60kWh Commercial LiFePO4 battery is used for self-sufficiency improvement of the micro-grid / building. Thus, this LIB is completely charged and discharged at dynamic profiles regularly every day. Since June 2022, high resolution data (250msec resolution) of the individual packs of this battery have been collected. Based on this data ageing due to individual ageing mechanism of the LIB could be tracked, based on which an overall State-of-Health of each battery pack and thus the whole storage system could be defined. Based on the SOH estimation the microgrid optimization strategy would be enhanced further.

The internet of Things (IoT) is attracting an increasing attention from both industry and academia, and will be a core component of the next generation 6G systems. In an IoT network, a potentially massive number of low-cost, low-complexity devices generate traffic to be reported to a common receiver monitoring the situation. Relevant examples include asset tracking, industrial and environmental monitoring, smart cities, as well as cyber-physical systems. In such a scenario, the possibility to let a large amount of concurrent transmissions coexist is key to improve the spectral efficiency and reliability of the next generation communication systems. Small data units sporadically transmitted by a vast population of terminals with low- to very-low duty cycle, poses unprecedented challenges to the multiple access design. Coordinating the transmission entails an overhead that may grow unbearably with the total population size and not with the number of active users, which might be order of magnitude lower. Further, such terminals might be battery powered and hence low energy consumption is key.
The aim of the thesis is to evaluate how machine learning can aid and possibly enhance the detection of small data packets transmitted asynchronously and uncoordinatedly. In modern random-access solutions, several overlapping packets may anyhow be decoded, thanks to powerful forward error correction, interference cancellation and other advanced signal processing techniques. In these scenarios, packet detectors are required to operate in a very harsh environment with unfavorable signal-to-noise and interference ratio. Additionally, detection algorithms that are theoretically optimal are difficult (if not impossible) to devise, due to the exponential number of possible interference cases that may arise in an uncoordinated and asynchronous access policy. Machine-learning algorithms appear to be very suited to such cases and in the thesis we would like to explore what relevant supervised learning algorithms may be beneficial, taking into consideration relevant trade-offs, in terms of e.g. complexity, detection performance, etc.

In an IoT network, a potentially massive number of low-cost, low-complexity devices generate traffic to be reported to a common receiver monitoring the situation. Relevant examples include asset tracking, industrial and environmental monitoring as well as smart cities. In this context, the possibility to collect IoT messages via constellations of small satellites in low-Earth orbit is a key enabler to provide global connectivity, and has recently been introduced by 3GPP as part of the 5G standard. The reception of data at satellites that fly at high speed poses however also a number of technical challenges, such as signal distortions due to Doppler shift. The design of advanced waveforms at the physical and medium access control layer to enable efficient IoT communications via non-terrestrial networks will thus play a key role for the development of upcoming communications systems.
The thesis will focus on the investigation, also by means of network simulations, of the narrow-band IoT (NB-IoT) waveform currently supported by the 5G standard. Its performance over satellite links will be studied, in comparison with other recently proposed solutions for massive IoT access. The student will have the chance to learn about IoT systems, satellite-based communications, and become familiar with protocols that are a core part of 5G and next generation wireless standards.

Due to this, the research community is looking into other modulation schemes that can provide more robustness for high mobility wireless channels. A promising candidate in this respect is orthogonal time-frequency-space scheme (OTFS), which modulates the information bits in the delay and the Doppler domains.
Taking the lead from this, the thesis will focus on the study and investigation, also by means of simulations, of the OTFS modulation and its comparison to OFDM, with special attention to their performance for reception at LEO satellites.

In the latest years a novel paradigm in communications has arisen: a massive amount of devices need to communicate via a wireless medium carrying small data units in an efficient manner. Departing from classical medium access protocols, novel Internet of Things (IoT) solutions aim at providing cost-effective and energy-efficient schemes. Both proprietary solutions like SigFox and LoRaWAN as well as standards like NB-IoT have been already successfully deployed. At our department, alternative solutions based on advanced random access schemes employing both strong error-correcting codes and multi-user detection techniques have been designed, analyzed and tested via prototypes.

Detailed characterization of the packet payload as well as of the channel model is required.

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.

Feature-oriented development is applied successfully within product-line engineering (PLE), mainly for the design and implementation of software product lines. A product line consists of similar products that share lots of commonalities, but that also differ in their functionality and characteristics. The concept of features makes the commonalities and differences, i.e., the variability, in the product line explicit. The main advantages of PLE are the systematic reuse of assets and the customizability of the end product.
The goal of the bachelor or master thesis is to investigate how the concepts of feature-oriented development can be adopted for the model-based systems engineering (MBSE) in early spacecraft design.

By using H2 or mixtures of synthesis gas CO/CO2/H2), which have been produced by solar‑powered methods, it is possible to synthesize methanol in a renewable manner. Methanol itself is an important key component for the renewable transformation of the chemical industry, but can also yield synthetical fuels. For this, efficient and long‑term stable catalysts, based on Cu/ZnO are necessary. The deactivation of these systems is influenced by several factors. The most important effect is thermal or water‑induced sintering of the active metal. Impurities, such as sulfur and chlorine compounds are also known for their detrimental effects. As part of the InnoPool project “Solar Hydrogen – pure & compressed”, we use hydrogen from different solar‑based sources for methanol synthesis and compare their effects on catalysis and material stability. For this objective, a setup has been constructed and tested succesfully. It is to be expanded to introduce impurities in an exact manner. Afterwards, first test should be conducted and used catalyst material has to be analysed under strict inert conditions.

Quantum computing, as a new paradigm for solving highly complex computational problems, is about to penetrate more and more application areas. In this context, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) supports young scientists through a specially established program, the Quantum Fellowship Program (QFP). With this research position, the DLR Microwaves and Radar Institute, with its world-renowned expertise in the design and development of Earth observation missions, offers anyone interested the opportunity to conduct research in an innovative research field within the framework of an industrial sponsorship.
Our partner is the company HENSOLDT, an internationally leading supplier for defense and security electronics. The constellation of a large research institution and an industrial company gives the PhD student the unique opportunity to work in a team of DLR researchers and PhD students as well as with developers from industry and to gain insight into the developments of quantum computing in a larger context. The PhD student will be encouraged to enter this dynamic field of research and to tackle the challenges of the following topic with creative ideas in collaboration with other PhD students, researchers and developers from different disciplines.
Innovation drivers for modern radar systems, for example with applications for drone detection or for the automatic evaluation of large synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, are automatic target recognition algorithms.
In the field of radar, the so-called micro-Doppler-based classification is state of the art. Here, the Doppler spectrum is analyzed for characteristic peculiarities (e.g. Doppler shifts induced by vibration or rotation of the object) to identify whether a radar signature is clutter, drone, bird, or similar. In particular, the radar backscatter cross-section of e.g. birds and drones is often similar in size, so that the Doppler signature is decisive. In combination with tracking, issues quickly arise, such as track-before-detect, or a more comprehensive approach that classifies the range-Doppler time cube as a whole. Here, algorithms on classical hardware quickly reach their limits, which is why quantum machine learning will be investigated to cope with the complexity and parameter optimization.
The same applies to the requirements for automatic target recognition on SAR images. Increasingly larger sections are to be examined for more and more target classes. Furthermore, segmentation approaches for the subdivision of the scene into, for example, water, meadows, forest, urban areas, etc. are to be investigated. Again, quantum machine learning lends itself to meta-parameter optimization.
The aim is firstly to build up expertise both in the field of automatic target recognition, quantum algorithms and quantum machine learning and their application in the context of automatic target recognition, and secondly to design, implement, simulate and test quantum algorithms also on quantum computers such as those of the companies D-Wave Systems and IBM.
For this purpose, the following contents are to be addressed:
Look forward to a fulfilling job with an employer who appreciates your commitment and supports your personal and professional development. Our unique infrastructure offers you a working environment in which you have unparalleled scope to develop your creative ideas and accomplish your professional objectives.

Currently only ~32% of Europe’s plastic waste is recycled, with the rest either being “thermally recycled” (= being burnt) or going to landfill. To achieve a circular economy, the fraction that is recycled must be massively increased. Current sorting systems are not able to differentiate between
The goal of this project is to build a bench scale version of a plastic sorting machine that simulates rubbish moving on a conveyor belt at ~3 m/s. As well as engineering the moving parts, the system will need to shine light on the “rubbish” (pieces of plastic), detect the luminescence signal, and decode what polymer this is.
A particular challenge is how many unique “codes” can be generated given the number of materials that luminesce at different wavelengths. This can be imagined like a RGB colour code, where mixing a certain amount of the red-emitting phosphor with the green and blue ones yields a unique colour. The challenge is to be able to repeatably and reliably detect this colour code as it moves at high speed.
The “Nanophotonics for Energy” division was established at KIT 2014 within the Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT) and the Light Technology Institute (LTI). On the systems level, we are working on development of various sustainable technologies, including photovoltaics, solar-powered water treatment systems, as well as luminescent materials for anti-counterfeiting and plastic recycling.

Start your career with an exciting master thesis in the field of sustainable hydrogen production. At the DLR Future Fuels Institute, we focus on the sustainable production of chemicals and fuels for industry and vehicles. Moving away from fossil energy carriers, we develop pathways for the production of hydrogen and other synthetic fuels with renewable energy carriers. One process that we are currently developing focuses on the production of hydrogen by using only the thermal energy of the sun and water. Other than hydrogen process via electrolysis, this process does not include an electrochemical step and has a high potential in terms of overall process efficiency. The process uses solid redox materials that are recycled within the process at elevated temperatures of up to 1500 °C. This innovative concept is currently under development within several projects at our institute addressing process simulation, experimental proof-of-concept and economic aspects.
A main core component of the process is an innovative heat exchanger/reactor which enables not only heat transfer but also a chemical reaction between a gas and solid particles. For the scale-up and optimization of this component, we are looking for support in our team.
Within your master thesis, you will analyze a reactor configuration from a technical, thermodynamic, and economic point of view. Based on an existing model, you will work out how the lab scale system can be scaled to an industrial application. With your research, you will find out how the system has to be designed to meet technical efficiency and economic figures. The results of the thesis will be directly incorporated in our on-going research efforts and support us in the future research activities on solar fuel production systems.
You will be closely integrated into our diverse and highly motivated team in the “Solar process demonstration” department located in Jülich. An experienced colleague will closely work together with you and support you throughout the entire master thesis. The thesis project will be aligned with the responsible professor of your university.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a characterization/investigation method that provides exquisite information about the chemical composition of a sample. NMR is closely related to another method that is more widely known due to the fact that it is broadly used in hospitals for clinical investigation in humans – magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Both methods share the same physical principles and similar challenges.
One of these challenges (among others being addressed in our group) is the fact that NMR is using very expensive equipment – large superconducting magnets delivering extremely uniform high magnetic fields (7T, 11.7T and 15T at IMT). At the same time, the NMR studies are usually performed one sample at a time, this meaning that the measurement time on the expensive instrument is relatively poorly used.
The main question that you will be trying to answer in the framework of this Master thesis is: Can we build a device that will enable the possibility of using the NMR magnet for multiple samples simultaneously?
This is a task which comes with many additional challenges that require good electrical and/or mechanical engineering skills to be addressed, as for example, space constraints inside the bore of the magnet or cross-talk between the detector coils which will come in close proximity.
Are you passionate about electrical engineering? Are you ready to challenge yourself to build the world’s first solid state NMR probe-head capable of investigating multiple samples at the same time? If the answer is “yes”, we are looking for you!
The specific tasks within the project will be:
During the Master thesis, you will get hands-on experience on microsystems design, cleanroom fabrication, having the opportunity to get exposure to a wide range of instruments and techniques.
You will be integrated in the larger team of the Spin & Photon Applications (SPA-) Laboratory. Within this project, you will use the infrastructure existent at the Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT), i.e., microfabrication facilities, RF testing equipment, and multiple state of the art NMR scanners. This is a complete project, offering the possibility to fabricate and test the devices, giving you the opportunity to co-author conference and/or journal publications.

Would you like to contribute to a sustainable future by advancing solar-based fuel production? Then you are exactly right with us!
The vision of the DLR Institute for Future Fuels is to develop technological solutions that enable the cost-effective production of fuels, hydrogen, or even commodities in the sunbelt of the earth on an industrial scale. At the institute, we use our unique infrastructure in which concentrated solar energy covers the heat demand of high-temperature processes.
For production to be as sustainable as possible, the recyclability of the components of a production plant, e.g. a concentrating solar thermal power plant, must be considered from the very beginning. The use of recycled materials and the recovery of parts and components after their use phase are critical aspects towards a circular economy.
Within your work you will evaluate the recycling potential of solar plants for the production of future fuels. In addition, you will assess the use of critical raw materials and the potential reduction of greenhouse gas emissions due to the implementation of recycling routes. This will enable an adapted design of solar plants for higher recycling rates and consequently an improved use of materials and a better environmental compatibility. In particular, the work involves the comparison of different concentrating solar thermal plants producing heat and/or electricity to produce green hydrogen or synthesis gas in terms of their recycling. The evaluation will thus include solar towers, heliostat fields and, depending on the fuels production process, also thermochemical reactors or high temperature electrolysers. The traceability of the raw materials used at the end-of-life/end-of-use of the components should be considered at the product development stage through transparency, evaluation and further development of dismantling and recycling routes. For this purpose, you will evaluate and compare the recyclability of the different production plants from an economic and ecological point of view and derive recommendations for action.
Your tasks during the PhD are:
DLR offers you the opportunity to advance your education by participating in extended trainings of the DLR Graduate Program. 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 many years of experience in process modelling and is happy to support you with your work.

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

The candidate will be part of an interdisciplinary, multinational research team of chemical and materials engineers and will have access to state-of-the-art chemical and ceramic processing laboratories and a broad infrastructure of analytical and structural characterisation tools available at the DLR facility in Cologne-Porz-Wahn.

In the broader environmental, societal and political framework of a carbon-neutral future energy mix, there is an urgent need for the use of renewable energy (RE) for electricity generation as well as for carbon-free industrial process heat. One approach to decarbonising industrial process heat is so-called 'electrification', based on RE resources; however, these are unsteady, so effective ways of storing RE in the form of heat need to be developed in parallel to ensure 24/7 operation. The high-temperature regenerative heat storage and recovery systems currently used in industry consist of porous ceramic media that are "charged", i.e. heated, with hot process exhaust gases. In addition, several oxide systems are capable of (endothermic) thermal reduction and reversible exothermic oxidation in an air atmosphere, which is accompanied by considerable heat effects and can thus significantly increase the storage density. Current work at DLR has already shown that storage devices made of low-cost, environmentally friendly perovskite materials can not only enable cyclic, reversible charge/discharge operation, but can also be formed into stable porous ceramic structures. These properties and the ability to utilise gas flows under high pressure and without significant pressure drop make the specific approach fully compatible with the "modularity" and thus easy scalability of commercial regenerative heat storage/recovery systems, which can thus be transformed into hybrid thermochemical heat storage/heat exchangers. For an envisaged commercialisation of such concepts, it is necessary to develop a scalable process for the fabrication of such porous solid structures through a rational design from the molecular level upwards and to validate their reliable operation through long-term cycling tests.
In this context and perspective, the main goals and tasks of the dissertation are the following:

A variety of test methods have been developed for software for conventional computers. They help to rule out or identify errors caused by the programming. Such methods are also important for quantum computers. Since quantum computers are based on other physical laws that prohibit certain operations (e.g. copying), but also offer new possibilities (e.g. superposition of states), a lot of basic research is still needed on test methods for quantum software.
In your PhD, you will transfer methods from quantum error correction to the testing of software and thus adapt proven concepts from conventional testing for quantum computers. In this way, important properties of the state can be checked without disturbing the execution of the software. You will analyse the benefits of the methods with regard to avoiding programming errors and develop practical recommendations for developers. Their work is an important building block for the theoretical understanding of tests of quantum software and at the same time very relevant for the practice of software development for quantum computers.
You are doing your doctorate in the group "Quantum Computing: Methods and Implementation" in the Institute of Software Technology under the supervision of Dr. Michael Epping and benefit from the daily exchange with our experts in quantum computing in a highly innovative and active research environment.

Proton-conducting ceramic cells (PCC) have attracted much attention in recent years. Compared to state-of-the-art soli oxide cells (SOC), PCC presents the unique feature to transport protons through the electrolyte and operate at much lower temperature i. e. between 400°C and 650°C. The PCC architecture allows a nearly ideal fuel electrode configuration. In electrolysis (PCCEL) it enables production of pure, dry hydrogen streams at the fuel electrode and gives possibility to electrochemical compression of the produced hydrogen. Despite these promises, PCCEL is still a nascent technology compared to other electrolysis technology, the limited faradaic efficiency attained by state-of-the-art cells is a key challenge to address to enable the scale-up and deployment of the technology.
This limited faradaic efficiency caused by a p-type current leakage throughout the typical electrolyte materials under traditional steam electrolysis conditions. This Ph. D. work aims at optimizing cell design and operating conditions to maximize the performance and efficiency of PCCEL.
To this end, the addition of interlayers at the interface between the electrolyte and the oxygen electrode aiming at hindering the current leakage will be investigated. Furthermore, thin contact layers will be considered to enable the efficient use of thin film electrolyte and minimize the ohmic losses. The influence of electrolysis parameters (pH2O, T, flow, conversion rates, …) will also be investigated in order to define an optimal operating window for PCCEL, that maximizes the performance and faradaic efficiency.
The PhD work takes place in the framework of the EU project SUSTAINCELL aiming at the development of Durable and Sustainable component supply chain for high performance fuel cells and electrolyzers.

The current paradigm assumes that local anaesthetics (LA) act by occupying binding pockets in Na-ion channels of nerve cells, thereby blocking signal transduction. More recently, however, evidence has accumulated that a less specific mechanism of action also plays a role. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies show, for example, that LAs preferentially accommodate into lipid membranes due to their amphiphilic nature, which alters the lateral pressure in the membranes. In the membranes of nerve cells, this could lead to ion channels being blocked without LA being incorporated into the channels.
It is therefore of great interest to quantify whether and to what extent LA change the lateral pressure in a membrane. As a first step in this direction, this project will use a Langmuir trough to measure how a series of LA affects the lateral pressure in a lipid monolayer. By systematically varying experimental parameters such as LA concentration, pH, etc. and correlating the results with existing data from NMR measurements, we will try to decipher non-specific mechanisms of LA action.

To accomplish the EU's climate objectives by 2050, an increase in energy efficiency and ubiquitous utilization of renewable energy sources are imperative. At DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics, gas-solid reactions are studied for various applications in energy technology ranging from thermal energy storage to air conditioning systems. Reactor design for such kind of processes is crucial but challenging due to interdependency of transport phenomena and reaction kinetics. To design reactors optimally in terms of weight and power, 2D models have been used so far, in addition to analytically simplified model equations.
With the advancing of computational methods, it became very attractive to define new pathways for the optimization of reactor design parameters under different operational constraints, potentially making such effort computationally inexpensive. However, it is important to evaluate how well such optimization algorithms work for this class of problems. Solution of this task will undoubtedly contribute to better understanding of possible optimization methodologies and, consequently, make future energy applications more optimal and attractive for their users.
The present thesis aims at the implementation of machine learning algorithms to perform the optimization task for a gas-solid reactor to be designed for energy applications. An existing 2D model will be used to create an extensive data set that will be used to train an algorithm. For the evaluation of the performance a comparison to an existing simplified 0D model can be used.

Start your career with an exciting Master's thesis in the field of ceramic production for sustainable hydrogen generation. At DLR's Institute for Future Fuels, we focus on the sustainable production of chemicals and fuels for industry and vehicles. Away from fossil fuels, we are developing ways to produce hydrogen and other synthetic fuels with renewable energy. Thermochemical water splitting, focuses on the production of hydrogen using only the thermal energy of the sun and water. Unlike hydrogen production by electrolysis, this process does not involve an electrochemical step and has high potential in terms of overall process efficiency. The process uses solid redox materials that are recycled within the process at elevated temperatures of up to 1500°C. This innovative concept is currently being developed within the framework of several projects at our institute, which deal with process simulation, experimental proof of the concept and economic aspects.
An essential core component of the process is the development of tailor-made porous redox structures that not only enable good heat transfer, but also simultaneously offer high mechanical strength, high absorption capacity and a high proportion of reactive functional ceramics. We are looking for support in our team for the optimization of the mechanical strength.
As part of your Master's thesis, you will produce high-quality ceramic suspension compositions of redox materials and investigate their rheological properties. You will produce customized porous structures and increase their mechanical strength by infiltration and double coating. The fabricated components will be further characterized for thermochemical applications. The results of the work will feed directly into our ongoing research and support us in future research activities on solar fuel production systems.

Climate change and an increasing urbanization requires efficient and CO2 neutral transportation. In principle this can be achieved with rail-bound vehicles but current railway systems suffer from a lack of automation that not only makes them unattractive to costumers but also inefficient in the use of the existing infrastructure. The Vehicular Applications group therefore develops key technologies that enable a higher degree of automation of railway traffic to address the mentioned limitations.
One technology currently developed is a localization system that uses distortions of the Earth magnetic field. This magnetic field-based system works also in areas of the track network in which satellite-based systems are not available, such as tunnels. The magnetic localization system exploits that ferromagnetic material in the track infrastructure introduces position dependent distortions in the Earth magnetic field. A map of these distortions then can be used to localize trains by comparing the measurements of a magnetometer to the map. You will develop an odometry that makes use of the magnetic distortions using methods of machine learning and pattern recognition.

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.
With your work you support the 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.

5G and IEEE 802.11 based communication technologies have been used for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in the road but also in the railway domain. The car-to-car and train-to-ground communications may rely on cooperative ITS communicating in the same frequency band in the future. Without appropriate measures, interference between the different radio technologies must be assumed and reliable communication for safety-critical applications cannot be guaranteed.
Based on measurement data, collected at a measurement campaign together with the DB advanced TrainLab, the interference and propagation measurements should be analysed. In a first phase, your goal is to classify the measurement data for different scenarios and link them with environmental information.

Aerosol particles acting as ice nuclei can lead to the formation of cirrus clouds. In the case of volcanic ash, the topic has been extensively studied experimentally in the laboratory, but the large-scale satellite-based observation in nature remains an open task. By combining passive satellite retrievals for either volcanic ash or ice clouds one can find that sometimes detections of volcanic ash are later replaced by detections of ice clouds.

Among a variety of metal oxides, non-stoichiometric ceria (CeO2-δ, cerium oxide) has emerged as an attractive redox-active material for this application due to its ability to conduct O2- rapidly, which contributes to fast redox kinetics at high temperatures, and because it is morphologically stable over a wide range of oxidation states.
Therefore, as part of your Master's thesis, you will fabricate high-quality ceramic components from Ce-based redox material and characterize its properties.

Supercomputers offer the opportunity to run the same simulation scenario multiple times with varying input parameters which yields ensembles of results. A good example is the forecast of climate change for the next 50 years based on slightly differing assumptions. Additionally, each individual time step of one of those simulation runs might produce very huge data results, which cannot be move for external processing or to be stored on file servers in a manageable amount of time. Thus, it is appropriate to process those data immediately on the supercomputers to extract important features which are much smaller for subsequent processing. Additionally, we are interested to use ensembles for trend analysis which should also processed immediately in-situ.
This PhD studies should address uncertainty analysis of ensemble data while it is simulated on massive-parallel HPC systems. Research topics could include:

Since sidescan sonar image data is scarce, transfer-learning of deep learning models is typically applied. The models are first pre-trained on a large dataset, e.g. ImageNet for classification or MS COCO for detection, and afterwards fine-tuned on the sonar data. Those pre-training datasets consist of natural RGB images. Sonar images, however, are grayscaled intensity images. Thus, learned features which depend on color information are useless. Using a more suited pre-training dataset could improve the classification and detection performance of deep learning models on sidescan sonar images.
In general, recent work has shown that the pre-training dataset has a strong influence when fine-tuning deep learning models, especially when the domain gap (the difference between data in the pre-training and fine-tuning dataset) is large. This is the case for sonar images and standard pre-training dataset like ImageNet or MS COCO. A survey on alternative and more suited pre-training datasets should be carried out in this master thesis. Both computer vision tasks classification and detection should be considered.

Visual Analytics of pandemics or epidemics shows the disease's spread and unveils unknown patterns. It assists policymakers and health institutions in mitigating pandemic effects, creating interventions, and understanding the situation to derive effective mitigation measures. These tools are also open to the public so that decision processes can be traced and better understood to improve the acceptance of the measures taken. However, the development of such tools is a challenging affair. To begin, the definition of the exploratory task, which can be as broad as 'to understand the spread of the disease', is hard to refine into subtasks, and potential analytical tasks involved in the exploration are not known at the outset. For example, 'spread', in this context, could mean an analytic task to determine the distribution of the infected population, or it could also mean deriving the network of contacts of infected agents. In constructing visualization tools, a designer needs crisp and well-defined tasks to encode them into suitable visual artefacts. For example, the visual encoding of an exploratory task, i.e. spatial distribution with geographical coordinates data, is done by a map. Timelines or line charts show the temporal trends.
Another problem is that different groups of users have their own domain-specific vocabulary for describing problems and their specific anticipation of the solution. For example, policymakers might be interested in knowing a general infection trend to propose suitable measures. In contrast, citizens might be more interested in knowing the local hotspots to avoid going there.
Thus, eliciting system requirements are demanding, and a clear understanding of the tool's usage is a non-trivial problem. A range of human-centered approaches can facilitate this process. However, studies show that in most cases, users typically cannot directly articulate their analysis needs in a clear-cut way. Here, indirect ways of task gathering or generation can be applied. Some of these techniques are: gathering tasks directly by reviewing the literature or already developed methods, user observation, using mathematical models etc.
In the scope of this thesis, student has to investigate different techniques suitable for gathering the tasks, especially in the spatial-temporal domain. Then based on the results, a suitable model/taxonomy or knowledgebase needs to be created. Finally, the model needs to be validated from target user groups through different user studies or by providing proof through other scientific validation approaches.
The steps mentioned here are just another way to address the aforementioned problem. We encourage students to come up with their own research directions. We also welcome discussing any innovative ideas that matches to the scope of this thesis. You can start immediately.

Radio sensing systems, envisioned as integral part of 6G and future WLAN, estimate presence and location of a non-cooperative user by measuring the location-dependent impact of the user on the propagation of radio signals. A prominent example of such systems is device-free localization, which relies on user-induced power changes in the received line-of-sight signals within wireless networks. User-induced fading, however, can be also observed in the received power of reflected and scattered signals, i.e., multipath components (MPCs), which we can additionally include MPCs to device-free localization systems enhancing both coverage and accuracy. Thus, precise knowledge of the propagation paths of the considered MPCs is crucial to these multipath-enhanced device-free localization systems.\nThese paths can be clearly identified in radio attenuation maps, which represent user-induced location-dependent attenuations, such as in the figure above. Using novel methods based on AI, we want to classify the reflection order, i.e., the number of subsequent reflection points, and ultimately to estimate the exact courses of the propagation paths from these radio attenuation maps.
As working student, you will support in the realization of AI-based classification and estimation of reflection points of multipath components. Specifically, you will contribute to the design and implementation of the corresponding neural networks and the creation of labeled sets of synthetic and measured data for training.
In addition, you will have the opportunity to participate in the preparation and execution of measurement campaigns featuring cutting-edge WiFi-sensing technology.

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

Biocatalysis combined with membrane filtration is a growing research area in water treatment as the water contaminants can be degraded by the enzyme while filtrating water. The design of a biocatalytic membrane able to keep the enzymatic activity of the enzyme free in solution is still an ongoing challenge. In this case, the use of biocompatible hydrogel coating to encapsulate the enzyme within the membrane is a promising strategy to improve the stability of the enzyme and keep the enzymatic activity during filtration. The aim of this project is to carry out a range of experiments to evaluate the enzymatic activity of the biocatalytic membrane, where the enzyme is entrapped in a hydrogel coating for the removal of micropollutants steroid hormones from water.

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

The aim of the DLR Institute of Quantum Technologies in Ulm is to develop precision instruments for space applications based on quantum technologies and, in close cooperation with industry, mature them into prototypes. It thus provides a bridge between fundamental research and industry. Together with the DLR-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. The research of the four core departments Quantum Metrology, Quantum Information and Communication, Quantum Nanophysics, and Quantum Control of Charged Matter Waves is complemented by support from three cross-sectional departments of Quantum Engineering, Integration of Micro- and Nanosystems, and Theoretical Quantum Physics. The institute works in an interdisciplinary way, where fundamental theoretical research and experimental tests meets engineering.
Technologies of nano and micro technology are used for the realization of miniaturized quantum technical systems. The current field of application of such systems is limited to the terrestrial environment. Therefore, the known technologies and the resulting systems are to be tested for their suitability for use in space. In addition, there are a wide variety of assembly and connection technologies that need to be evaluated in order to meet the required reliability aspects.
In cooperation with the other departments, the named questions are to be processed. For this it is necessary to map the tasks of the physically shaped departments in a system-technical manner. For this purpose, the scientific research on the raised questions are necessary in an interface function. Ideally, this can be implemented by an interdisciplinary trained engineer who can translate the requirements into a corresponding process development.

In addition to our site in Oberpfaffenhofen, the department's staff is also involved in the Innovation Center for Small Aircraft Technologies (INK) in Aachen, where the vacant position is located. At the INK, work is being carried out together with other project partners on the development of autonomous aircraft types that are intended to meet special requirements in terms of flight safety, flight performance and noise emissions.
Our contribution as the Navigation Department at INK is the development of a novel integrity concept for global navigation satellite systems needed for autonomous operation of small aircraft (e.g., air cabs, drones, etc.).
Your future position is assigned to the cross-sectional group "Systems Engineering and Project Management". Within the department, this working group bundles essential functions and tasks in the areas of systems engineering and project management, especially in international and multi-lateral projects.
You will be working with us on the system architecture of a novel, global augmentation system for existing navigation systems, especially with regard to their integrity. The integrity concept is based on the use of small satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) and will be demonstrated in an in-orbit verification mission after a design and development phase. For this purpose, you will work on systems engineering issues for the feasibility study and actively drive forward the realization of the demo mission in space.
However, the use of LEO satellites for GNSS monitoring brings new challenges: the precise determination of the orbit must be ensured, and the payloads in LEO satellites can have very stringent requirements in terms of size, power consumption and cost, which limits the technical solutions.
The interdisciplinary nature of your work is based on this challenge. In the project you will take over partially the technical leadership of the international project team in cooperation with our French project partners at CNES.
In close cooperation with scientists from different disciplines (signal design, optical communication, antenna design, receiver design, etc.) you will realize this strategically important research and development project.
For the success of the project, you will contribute with your imagination, your creativity and your pleasure in working in an international research team.
We offer you a pleasant working atmosphere on par with your superiors, state-of-the-art equipment and an environment with national and international cooperation. Opportunities for professional development (e.g. PMP Project Management, DLR PhD program, etc.) are provided.

The Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics focusses on the observation, investigation and modelling of the near-Earth space weather. Space weather has a decisive influence on the propagation of radio waves, which is used for terrestrial and satellite-based communication as well as for satellite-based navigation. In view of society's growing dependence on the accuracy, availability and reliability of satellite-based radio systems, preventive measures are needed to protect human life and technical systems from the effects of space weather. The observation and modeling of the state of the ionosphere, which are crucial components of these measures, have been carried out 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 atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere, which need to be scientifically investigated and described. Especially in the altitude range between 80 and 120 km complex electro-dynamic processes take place, which have an influence on the state of the entire ionosphere- magnetosphere system.
Your mission is to enhance future space weather operations by developing a research ensemble of upper atmosphere models to improve the forecast accuracy of thermosphere-ionosphere key parameters and provide the associated forecast uncertainty estimates. The study involves the use of different thermosphere-ionosphere physics-based models and associated data science techniques like machine learning or data assimilation, as well as the use of satellite and ground-based observations.

Future satellite networks will link space and ground assets via an optical network. This not only requires the development of existing technologies that enable optical links in space, but also addresses the challenges of switching high-speed data streams on board satellites.
The recent evolution of FPGA devices has led to a significant increase in high-speed transceiver throughput, making FPGAs a compelling option for implementing network switches in space. However, it remains unclear whether an FPGA-based switch can meet the requirements of future satellite networks. This thesis explores the trade-offs of different switch fabric architectures when considering FPGAs for future space missions.

The institute is developing new methods for reliable navigation within the framework of various projects, thereby enabling autonomous air transport (UAM, e.g. air cabs) or autonomous driving of other modes of transport. These vehicles typically operate in environments such as urban environments where high accuracy is required but the performance of satellite navigation techniques is degraded by local effects such as satellite signal shadowing and multipath. Efficient and safe landing of UAM vehicles in vertiports in urban areas is a challenge.
Camera-based visual localization is highly suitable for navigation in urban areas and could be an effective solution for takeoff/landing navigation in UAM. In visual localization tasks, camera calibration is an essential step and the error in camera intrinsic parameters will be propagated into the pose estimates. The quality of the calibration directly affects the localization performance. Although the state-of-the-art camera calibration method has been proven to work well, there are still some unavoidable errors in the estimated camera intrinsic parameters. If the calibration error is overly optimistically considered or even ignored in vision-based navigation, it can lead to integrity risks in safety critical applications. Therefore, it is important to model the calibration error appropriately in order to improve the performance of camera pose/motion estimation in terms of accuracy and integrity. Join us in addressing this challenge. Based on our ongoing research, you will develop reliable fisheye calibration, analyze and estimate the calibration errors.

The position is suitable for part-time employment.
Surface processing involves tasks such as painting, grinding, and sanding. Usually, the robotic execution strategy that involves motions and forces is manually programmed and deployed to production systems that process then thousands of units per day. Although there are more than 30 years of efforts to automate these task efficiently, there is still a lack of automation found in the case of small lot sizes and in the craftmenship area. Considering that the task of manual grinding or sanding is cumbersome, physically demanding and subject to health risks due to material residuals and dust, it is of major interest to automate such scenarios as well.
In surface processing, a so-called coverage path is used to plan the motion with the tool's processing imprint on the whole surface of the workpiece. The goal is a good coverage of the surface while reducing the overlap between adjacent paths. On the technical side, there are often assumptions made about a good strategy, such as meandering pathways. However, a human decides about the path based on the made experiences in the field. Therefore, a robot could possibly benefit from the human strategy to improve the coverage path on the workpiece surface.
The goal of this project is to collect data from human workers, which are ideally craftsmen, that process a workpiece surface by sanding it. The collected data shall investigated with respect to reoccurring features (analysis). Next, a number of common strategies shall be extracted by clustering the human demonstrations (extraction). This allows to train a model, which is able to predict the strategy from user input. This information can be used to match the human strategy onto a predefined robot behavior (matching) that is used in the task execution.
After achievment of the first two project milestones, which are the collection of human demonstration data and a first data cluster analysis, this position could be continued as a master thesis.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an analysis tool with several advantages, such as being non-invasive and allowing real-time monitoring. However, one major drawback is the low sensitivity of this tool. To improve the sensitivity, hyperpolarization is often used. To guarantee reproducible results with hyperpolarization an embedded system needs to be set up and tested. The goal of this work is to program an embedded system according to the required safety standards, build it up and test it. For the control, an Arduino UNO Rev3 will be used.
Tasks:
This internship offers the opportunity of implementing an embedded system into a testing setup as well as gaining first experience with interdisciplinary fields.

Start your career with an interesting master thesis at DLR Solar Research Institute, one of the world’s leading institutions in the field of concentrated solar technology!
Solar tower power plants consist of several hundred to several thousand mirrors, so-called heliostats, which focus solar radiation upon a collector tower. An important step in the qualification of solar tower power plants is the monitoring of the heliostats. Operationally relevant parameters include their alignment and the condition of the mirror panels. To reduce the cost of qualification and automate the monitoring, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly being used. These capture aerial images, which are then evaluated by image-processing algorithms. Although conventional image-processing methods already achieve good results, they often still require manual intervention. For this reason, the use of deep learning methods is currently being investigated at our institute. As part of your thesis or internship, you will support us in testing and developing deep learning models for detection tasks in aerial images of heliostat fields. The tasks include a literature research, preparation of data sets, and training and comparison of different models.
You will be employed as part of the AuSeSol-AI project and will be closely integrated into our diverse and highly motivated team in the “Qualification group” located in Almería, Spain. An experienced colleague will closely work together with you and support you throughout the entire internship or thesis. In the case of a thesis project, the tasks will be aligned with the responsible professor of your university.

The Department of Maritime Security Technologies is dedicated to solving a wide range of technological issues required for the implementation and testing of innovative system concepts for the protection of maritime infrastructures. This includes the development and demonstration of novel instruments and system functions that are capable of detecting, assessing and visualising the protection status of maritime infrastructures in real time and in a widely automated manner.
Maritime infrastructures, such as ships, ports and offshore wind farms, constitute complex computer networks consisting of components from both information technologies (such as workstations, servers, business applications) and operative technologies (sensors, actors, embedded systems, ICS, navigational systems). Because of their critical functions those networks and their components are to be efficiently protected against attacks.
You will become part of a team with a professional focus on IT-security and theoretical computer science. Your common mission is to work towards a long-term increase in the level of protection of critical systems through the research of scientifically well-founded formal methods for the development of secure systems and for the analysis of security properties of critical systems. The design, implementation and operation of secure systems requires detailed knowledge of their composition, functionality and state. In order to capture and process this knowledge, suitable formal modeling methodologies need to be identified or developed, modeling methodologies of different views and different levels of abstraction need to be unified or connected and formal methods for the analysis of security requirements based on these methodologies are to be identified and adapted. One possible example for this approach is the analysis of security requirements of hardware-software systems based on appropriate models of their hardware and software components as well as their interaction. Another example would be the interaction of a computer system and a business process.
Your activities will comprise both mathematical tasks as they are common in theoretical computer science and the development of software components as working proof of the developed concepts. The following tasks will be your main focus:

The Research Unit Type 1 Diabetes Immunology at Helmholtz Munich focusses on understanding the role of regulatory T (Treg) cells in the immunopathology of autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). To do so, we combine the analysis of human immune cells from different disease stages with mechanistic studies in murine and humanized in vivo models.
We focus on two main research topics: dissecting key molecular mechanisms of Treg impairments in T1D (Serr Front Immunol 2021; Scherm Nat Commun 2019; Serr STM 2018) and investigating the heterogeneity, plasticity and functional specialization of Tregs in metabolic tissues of diabetes (Scherm Mol Metab 2022; Becker Mol Metab 2019; Kälin Cell Metab 2017). Our studies have the overarching goal to facilitate the future therapeutic and context-specific manipulation of Tregs in (autoimmune) diabetes.
The doctoral researcher will work on a project integrated into the Collaborative Research Center (CRC)/Transregio (TRR) “Heterogeneity and functional specialization of regulatory T cells in distinct microenvironments” (TRR355) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The aim of the TRR355 is to shed light on this heterogeneity of Treg cells and how it impacts on immunological and tissue-specific disorders with the perspective to develop personalized immunotherapies.

Biomass is a widespread renewable heat source in Germany. In the area of district heating, biomass is by far the most important energy source among the renewable energy sources. The advantage of biomass over other renewable heat sources is that it can be stored and is thus suitable for providing heat in winter time and for peak loads. However, biomass is a scarce commodity that is in demand from many sides and the regionally available biomass potential is limited. In this thesis, a GIS-based analysis of sustainable cereal straw potentials in Baden Württemberg is carried out. Based-thereon, options for meeting district heat demand in winter times are analysed and suitable locations for straw-based district heating plants in Baden-Württemberg are identified.

PHD Thesis
Your Job:
The use of green hydrogen in certain industry sectors (e.g., chemical industry or in steelmaking) is without an alternative to reach greenhouse gas neutrality. Besides of the availability of huge amounts of renewable energy the presence of water has an essential impact on the ‘green hydrogen’ potential especially in dry regions like western Africa. The transformation from hydrogen to methanol can be advantageous because of its better storage and transportation characteristics under ambient conditions. In the realm of this PhD position the techno-economic potential of an innovative process route for green hydrogen and methanol provision is going to be assessed. The process route is innovative as the needed water is adsorbed from the ambient air and this way important local ground water resources can be saved.

The computational science work will be carried out at the DLR Institute for Future Fuels in Cologne as part of European projects. The candidate will be part of an interdisciplinary, multinational research team of chemists, physicists, chemical, mechanical and materials engineers and will have access to numerical tools and a broad infrastructure for the structural elucidation of solids available at the DLR facilities in Cologne-Porz-Wahn.
The specific calculations will focus on material and reactor requirements of different cyclic processes relevant for the use of concentrated solar power (CSP) systems as well as for industrial waste heat recovery applications. In particular, so-called "oxygen transfer" properties of oxides of multivalent metals will be investigated. These are e.g. multi-cation oxides based on perovskites such as CaMnO3, but also High Entropy Oxides (HEO) are of interest. Such materials can be reduced by heat from renewable energy sources, e.g. hot air from an air-driven solar thermal power plant or excess electricity from photovoltaics or wind power. The resulting reduced material can then be oxidised with air to generate "solar power" or industrial process heat respectively, when needed but
renewable energy sources are not available (for example at night). Current work at DLR has already shown that certain low-cost materials are not only capable of such cyclic redox operation, but can also be formed into stable reticulated porous ceramic structures (e.g. "ceramic foams"). For future commercialisation of such concepts, it is necessary to develop, through rational design from the atomic level, ceramic materials that have the potential to be formed into stable porous structures and to enable reversible cyclic redox operation with long material lifetimes.
In this respect, the main aims and objectives of the computational work are as follows:

Energy supply accounts for around three quarters of Europe's CO2 emissions. According to the EU Commission's climate scenarios, an annual expansion of renewable energies by around 100 TWh is required to achieve the European Union's climate target by 2030. Europe wants to become climate neutral by 2050. Would you like to contribute to this with the further development of solar thermal power plants? Then our team is the right place for you!
Since its foundation in 2011, the Institute of Solar Research at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) has been researching and developing Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems for solar thermal power plants that convert solar energy into heat, electricity and fuels. DLR is the largest German research institution in this field and has a leading role in Europe and the world in the development and qualification of related technologies.
Concentrating solar collectors - parabolic trough collectors, for example - are capable of providing temperatures of up to 600 °C. This is made possible by the use of high-temperature resistant molten salts as the heat transfer fluid. The melting point of the molten salt mixture typically used is around 240 °C, but this is disadvantageous for certain operating conditions of the solar thermal power plant.
The potential of the "Salt Dilution" process is therefore to be investigated in greater detail as part of a DLR project. In this process, liquid water is injected into the molten salt under pressure. The process serves to lower the melting temperature of molten salt from around 240 °C up to ambient temperature and is reversible. Thus, the salt dilution process could be used to reduce heat losses in solar thermal power plants or to prevent salt from freezing in pipelines and storage tanks. First tests have already been successfully carried out in the laboratory and on the Évora Molten Salt Platform (EMSP).
The aim of the advertised work (internship and/or bachelor/master thesis) is to investigate and evaluate the application potential of the salt dilution process in CSP power plants. Besides thermodynamic calculations, open questions regarding corrosion and economic efficiency are part of the work.

The Quantum Communication Systems (QCS) group at the Institute of Communications and Navigation is concentrating on enabling satellite-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). The group is therefore working on ensuring information theoretically secure communication of the future. To distribute a quantum key, existing optical fiber networks can be used for short distances. However, due to the exponential transmission loss of optical fibers long distances cannot be covered by using them. To cover long distances, a satellite can be used as a node for the quantum key generation together with Optical Ground Stations.
The Optical Ground Station need to be further developed to realize a feasible quantum network in the future. One challenge is the design of a cost-effective Optical Ground Station and their implementation in a network. You will contribute in this research area by performing analysis on the telescope design for Optical Ground Stations in satellite-based QKD. Therefore, your work will address an individual research question that will contribute to the development of a holistic and cost-efficient concept of an Optical Ground Station capable of satellite-based QKD.

Satellite-based free-space optical communications use low-divergence beams to reduce the transmission power required 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. However, the required information is only available over the optical channel if a link has already been established. This creates challenges in the acquisition phase in terms of search time duration until the adversary target is found.
Therefore, this work will optimize an existing algorithm for attitude determination that combines multiple sensors, i.e. gyroscope and magnetometer. Finally, the developed code will be implemented in a microcontroller on the current prototype optical terminal to enhance its attitude knowledge.

The Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics (RM) develops autonomous mobile robots and deploys them in domains such as planetary exploration and search-and-rescue scenarios. Concretely, we build systems that operate in unknown environments, that are often unstructured and difficult to navigate, and we aim to avoid external infrastructures such as GNSS or permanent communication links. Our heterogeneous robot team consists of the flying platform ARDEA and of so-called light-weight rover units (LRU). ARDEA is a fully selfdeveloped hexacopter with a sophisticated camera setup, and the LRU is a small and agile rover prototype. The capabilities of ARDEA were recently demonstrated during the ARCHES mission on a Moon-analog campaign on Mt. Etna in Sicily, Italy, as well as at the 2018 International Astronautical Congress in Bremen, Germany.
Navigating in unknown planetary environments is challenging, since the robot can only use the sensors onboard such as cameras and IMU, and it cannot use GNSS or other global tracking systems. For this task, robust state estimation algorithms are necessary that can run in real-time and onboard of the robotic system. For that, ARDEA only uses its two stereo camera pairs and an IMU. By fusing these data streams, ARDEA is able to robustly fly close to the ground. For flights further away from the ground and to reach distant regions, our team currently brings our navigation approach to the next level. For this challenging task, we are looking for a new team member.

Both, ESA and NASA are planning space missions to the Moon with their Heracles and Artemis programs, where even a moon base is envisioned. A key component for such missions is navigation: It is crucial to know the positions of all entities on the Lunar surface, whether these are payload boxes with scientific instruments, autonomous robots or astronauts. With ESA’s Moonlight initiative, a satellite navigation system for the Moon is planned. However, unlike satellite navigation systems on earth, only few satellites are foreseen. Thus, availability and accuracy will be limited.
We propose a local cooperative radio navigation system, where payload boxes, robots etc. are equipped with radio nodes that communicate with each other. At DLR, we have implemented a cooperative radio navigation system and have demonstrated its capabilities. A recent demonstration took place on Mt Etna, Sicily, in the frame of a Moon-analogue mission.
This thesis shall investigate, how a cooperative radio navigation system on the Lunar surface can be combined with a Lunar satellite navigation system in a beneficial way. The first step is thus a literature survey on satellite navigation and cooperative navigation. Then, an algorithm shall be developed to jointly determine the position of multiple satellite navigation receivers synchronized by cooperative navigation. The benefit of combining cooperative radio navigation and satellite navigation shall then be investigated by simulation for different formations, satellite constellations etc. Ultimately, the results from theory and simulation could be validated by measurement data using our cooperative navigation system.

The security of critical infrastructures is essential for the economic prosperity and stability of governments and societies. The Institute for the Protection of Maritime Infrastructures focuses on this challenge and develops new concepts, approaches and technologies that can be used to analyze and improve the security of maritime infrastructures in terms of people, technologies and systems.
The Maritime Security Technologies department is dedicated to addressing a wide range of technological challenges required for the implementation and testing of innovative system concepts for the protection of maritime infrastructures. This includes the development and testing of sensors in the underwater area, in particular active sonar systems.
Acoustic simulations are of tremendous value in the development of sonar systems, its signal processing, and for understanding the underwater acoustic channel. Simple simulations of backscatter in the water column have been used to analyze and validate sonar antenna designs and signal processing methods, allowing conclusions to be drawn about the performance of the systems. However, comparison with experimental data usually reveals significant differences because the environment in which the experiment is conducted represents a complex underwater acoustic scene with many backscattering surfaces and objects. This complexity is currently not represented in standard simulation environments. For this Master's thesis you will therefore investigate to what extent optical ray tracing programs, which are able to compute complex scenes in a performant way, are suitable for the simulation of acoustic data. For this purpose, you will create a complex underwater environmental model using a suitable ray tracing program, and with input from colleagues use this to approximate the acoustic channel. Results will be verified both through comparison with an existing simplified acoustic model and with experimental data.
Your tasks will include:

The Institute of Propulsion Technology's research work at DLR's sites in Cologne, Berlin, Göttingen and Trauen is focused on the development of high-performance and environmentally friendly aircraft engines and power plant turbines. The research includes both the development and application of highly efficient methods and fast simulation methods as well as the use of unique test benches and sophisticated measurement equipment. A core competence of the turbine department at the Göttingen site is the investigation of turbine blades with regard to increasing efficiency, as well as questions concerning heat transfer and the effectiveness of cooling techniques. Furthermore, the interaction of components, such as the combustor with the turbine, plays an important role within the future research focus.
Within the scope of this student work, an innovative cooling geometry for heat transfer enhancement is to be simulated with the DLR flow solver TRACE. The parameters for the automatically generated computational grid and a first numerical model are already available. This numerical model is to be investigated with respect to various boundary conditions. The results of the heat transfer are of particular interest. In the long term, these innovative cooling configurations should lead to significantly more efficient and thus also less polluting aircraft engines. Cooling will also be a key technology for future hydrogen engines.

Ambitious future extra-terrestrial exploration missions to the Moon and to Mars require a new perspective for the involved technology. Collaborating robots with different capabilities are very promising to fulfill complex exploration tasks. For autonomous exploration, reliable communication between the entities and precise knowledge of their position and orientation are paramount. Both can be provided by local radio communication among the robots. A special design of the physical layer allows to measure distances and directions, from which positions and orientations of the robots are estimated by a localization algorithm. Careful calibration of the system is key to achieve high accuracy. However, calibration parameters can vary over time, e.g. due to temperature or environment changes. To cope with changing calibration parameters, simultaneous localization and calibration (SLAC) is performed. For this thesis, the first step is to get familiar with the concept of SLAC, which is closely related to the popular simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Using tools from estimation theory, the observability of the calibration parameters under different conditions shall be analyzed. The goal is to identify suitable formations and movements of the robots for efficient calibration. The theoretical findings are then evaluated by simulations. During a space-analogue mission on Mt Etna, Sicily, we have collected measurement datasets for radio localization with our rover fleet. The measurement datasets can be used to experimentally validate the findings.

Critical infrastructures are essential for state and society. Their protection and thus the secure supply of society in a dynamic world is the goal of the Institute for the Protection of Terrestrial Infrastructures. The institute develops concepts based on the resilience of infrastructures against current and future threats. Digital twins are used to identify potential threat situations, determine the situational protection status, and analyze potential measures to minimize impacts over the entire resilience cycle. At the same time, digital twins are used for strategic adaptation to future threats. The department "Resilience and Risk Methodology" performs fundamental research in the fields of modeling and description in order to make threat situations analyzable, resilience measurable and the systemic effect of (socio-)technical measures describable in models.
When dealing with threat situations, crisis teams have to make complex decisions regarding the implementation of protective measures, taking into account numerous influencing factors.

To shorten measurement times and increase resolution, NMR and MRI crave for higher sensitivity. High levels of polarization can be generated by hyperpolarization methods, and enhance NMR signals over 1000 fold.
This project focuses of SABRE hyperpolarization (SABRE: Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange). In SABRE, polarization is generated by transferring spin order from parahydrogen, the singlet spin isomer of hydrogen that can easily be obtained at low temperatures to target molecules. We develop new catalytic systems (mostly metalorganic ones) for efficient SABRE hyperpolarization transfer.
The main focus within the team would initially center around the performance of the new catalysts under different experimental conditions (such as optimum temperature, solvent, pressure magnetic field during transfer). Therefore, experience in NMR and working under inert gas conditions is beneficial. The position is intended for a student research assistant (HiWi, Wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft). It is possible to extend the project into a master thesis project degree in chemistry, chemical physics, and material science or with similar background. The concrete position and tasks are subject to discussion with interested candidates. Selected candidates can start working as soon as they are hired.

Rotary machines are commonly used in the macro-world for a wide variety of applications and include different types of turbines, fans or propellers, with dimensions and rotation speeds spanning several orders of magnitude: from various drilling machines, to computer cooling fans, jet propellers, train wheels or wind mills. In many situations, different operating or environmental parameters (e.g., material parameters such as cracks or fatigue, local temperature variations and many more) need to be monitored using control devices that must be mounted on the rotating parts. It is however a challenge to interrogate and control a device that is mounted on a spinning object due to the fact that it is almost impossible to connect to it via tethered wires. Therefore, the communication with the world outside the spinning object must be ensure via a wireless protocol. This task becomes even more challenging when the spinning turbine is miniaturized, which means that the available space is limited.
The specific engineering task of the candidate selected for the present project consists in mounting a microcontroller on a miniaturized rotary turbo-machine and ensure successful communication with the microcontroller under spinning conditions.

In indoor emergency situations, such as a building on fire, usually the first responders enter in small teams the building without knowing the floorplan. At the same time, the commander of the first responders on sight needs to know the positions of the first responders in the building to coordinate their actions. Therefore, DLR developed a pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) solution based on inertial measurements with a sensor located on the foot. The PDR positions have to be communicated reliably to the central command.
The complete wearable PDR system is integrated into a small prototype. It includes the inertial sensor, a CPU/microcontroller for the PDR algorithm, and a Wi-Fi unit for transmitting the positions to a second transmitter box. The additional transmitter box contains a LoRa transmitter unit to send the signals to the central unit. For the overall system a GNSS unit has to be integrated and tested. The GNSS unit is necessary for obtaining the starting position and direction for initializing the inertial positioning system, and for sensor fusion outdoors – if GNSS data is available.

Mobility has a high priority in our society. People want to reach their destination safely, comfortably and quickly. Goods must be transported cost-effectively over short and long distances. The consequences of mobility can be seen in environmental pollution, accidents and traffic jams, which increase with the ever-growing volume of traffic. These are the challenges we face at the Institute of Transportation Systems. We develop solutions for the safe and efficient mobility of the future.
Instead of only looking at individual vehicles and vehicle functions, our focus is on whole traffic systems. We therefore put emphasis on the interaction between different road users and the interaction between road users and surrounding infrastructure by considering and enhancing most recent developments esp. in terms of connectivity, digitalization and automation. In addition, finding optimal solutions for changing the mode of transportation wherever required are part of our research.
We are looking for a new scientific researcher (computer scientist, engineer) for the development of automated driving functions in highly connected traffic systems. You will focus particularly on urban scenarios, where you will explore and develop new concepts of cooperative automated driving. Here, cooperation includes cooperation with other road users, but also cooperation with road side infrastructure. Therefore, you will work on the following topics among others:
• research on concepts of cooperative driving with other road users and intelligent road infrastructure
• development of algorithms dealing with trajectory and manoeuvre planning of automated vehicles, being part of our OpenSource vehicle automation framework ADORe (Automated Driving Open Research)
• evaluation and test of new functionalities and prototypically implemented concepts with test drivers on the test track and on public roads
• acquiring information about most recent science projects in the domain incl. journals, standards and specifications, national and international
• presentation and publication of results to project partners, the international community and the public.
• support in the acquisition of new scientific projects
• professional guidance and coordination of student theses as well as student works and interns.
For your research, DLR offers you an integrated DLR-owned tool chain with numerous laboratories, (connected) simulators, automated test vehicles and research infrastructure in the field such as the Application platform for Intelligent Mobility (AIM) or the Test Bed Lower Saxony.
To achieve your goals, you work in an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, engineers, and ergonomists and you rely on the experience of psychologists in conducting volunteer studies. 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.

The Institute of Flight Systems is developing new concepts and technologies for autonomous unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Perception tasks, such as object detection and tracking, are fundamental for such autonomous applications. Machine learning (ML) is the state-of-the-art approach to dealing with high dimensional data. Most often, these methods act as a "black-box", where model behavior cannot be comprehended.
The ability to decompose a neural network into functional and independent modules could help create more efficient and reliable systems, and provide valuable insights for explainable AI. Research aims to interpret how modular weight structure can be created, and understand how their functional behavior relates with acquired knowledge.
Your task is to investigate and implement possible solutions for one of the following problems:

Air traffic is a field of research that is nurtured by several data sets. Such an advantage keeps the door open to innovative techniques such as machine learning. At DLR’s institute of Air transport, the application of different machine learning techniques has received attention since 2017 specifically to improve air traffic flow management (ATFM). This thesis is contributing to the roadmap on ATM Network resiliency.
Generally, an air traffic flow is a pattern in which flights move along the same routes in a spatial dimension, and the movements happen during the same time interval. In air traffic, the topic of clustering the flights has been evolved from algorithms to learning models and our intention is to put a step forward with implementing customized clustering / Recurrent Neural Network (RNN).
You will be supported to follow these steps:

PHD Thesis
Your Job:
Current political events highlight the vital importance of a robust and affordable energy supply. This thesis will primarily address questions pertaining to the security of supply of the existing and future sector-coupled German energy system within both a European and global context. In the course of this research, you will investigate which disruptive events and crises could endanger the security of supply and what an effective strategy for a robust energy supply could look like.
Thereby, you will identify potentially disruptive events from the perspective of energy demand and derive short- and medium-term scenarios so as to be able to investigate them using existing energy system models from the IEK-3. In doing so, you will explore questions such as: What black swan events, natural disasters, political decisions or crises, and what technological innovations, would be conceivable and how can these be modeled? How would these affect the energy system, and how would the energy system need to be designed for a robust energy supply? To answer these, you will contribute to the further development an existing energy system model based on Python. Your tasks include:

Infectious disease outbreaks pose a threat to public health and can have disruptive effects on societies. Surveillance of these diseases gives rise to diverse and continuously updated data streams. To draw valid conclusions from these in real time, specialized mathematical and statistical modeling tools are necessary.
The proposed project is focused on the development of new statistical methods to generate, evaluate and combine infectious disease nowcasts and short-term forecasts. The developed methods will be implemented in open-source software packages and applied in real time to various pathogens. Forecasts can e.g., refer to the number of required hospital or intensive care beds. For different parts of the project, collaborations with partners in the United Kingdom and the United States are planned.
A specific focus will be on methods for multi-model forecasting. There is a growing consensus that disease forecasting should be based on several different models rather than just one. This is reflected in the creation of numerous so-called Forecast Hubs, e.g., by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (covid19forecasthub.eu). The planned projects shall contribute to and build upon the modeling work taking place in such open collaborations.
The position will be part of a newly established DFG Emmy Noether Junior Researcher Group (“Multi-Model Nowcasting and Short-Term Forecasting of Infectious Disease Spread”) led by Dr. Johannes Bracher.
The position is suitable for PhD studies. The planned PhD supervisors are Principal Investigators in the Helmholtz Information and Data Science School for Health (www.hidss4health.de/), and we intend to associate doctoral candidates with this graduate school.

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.
You will contribute to a top-notch research project with the opportunity to publish in top conferences. Your results will part of an open-source project and will directly contribute to a new data management system developed for KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment and will build a ground for next generation of data management systems for large scale scientific experiments

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. Particularly, you will develop a fast implementation of Goertzel algorithm using OpenMP and SIMD intrinsics.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has a key role in a vast range of scientific areas, including light-harvesting technologies, atmospheric chemistry and biochemistry. Our research team has recently developed a number of light sources delivering few-femtosecond UV pulses to reproduce ultrafast molecular processes that occur in nature and to track in real-time their underlying mechanisms. In this project, a high repetition rate UV light source will be used for real-time investigation of electron dynamics in gas phase chiral molecules. Time-resolved circular dichroism (TR-PECD) and time-resolved Photoexcitation Circular Dichroism (TR-PXCD) will be used to unravel the role of electron dynamics on the chiral response of the molecule with few-femtosecond/attosecond time resolution. Small chiral systems will be investigated in order to develop new schemes to manipulate the outcome of enantioselective chemical processes via charge-directed reactivity. Complementary experiments using X-ray sources (FELs and synchrotrons) are foreseen to gain site selectivity in the investigation of the chiral molecular response.This PhD position is within the Helmholtz-Lund International Graduate School (HELIOS) and based at DESY (Hamburg).

Nanometer-sized molecular clusters are recognized to grow into sizes that make them available as cloud condensation nuclei and to influence the Earth’s climate by affecting the incoming solar radiation, either directly or by influencing cloud properties. However, despite large efforts to understand the dynamics in the liquid phase, the details of the interaction between a solute and a solvent are still largely unexplored at the atomic scale. Time-resolved investigations of small molecular clusters representing prototypical solvated-molecule model systems enable us to disentangle the elementary steps and to scrutinize the underlying mechanisms of the ongoing aerosol chemistry. Thus, a crucial step toward an in-depth understanding of complex aqueous biological systems and aerosols is to study the molecules in solution with the same level of detail as we currently do for isolated molecules.In this project, you will investigate the influence of solvents, especially water, on the photophysics and the resulting atomic-scale chemical dynamics of small bio-molecules in the gas phase. Pure samples of individual small solvated-molecule clusters will be prepared using frontier molecular beam approaches and the electric deflector. Here, these samples and their photo-induced dynamics will be investigated using short-wavelength radiation facilities, such as EuXFEL, FLASH, PETRA III, or MAX IV. Furthermore, experiments at laser-based strong-field and high-harmonic sources, esp. in Hamburg and Lund, are foreseen. The planned investigations include biochromophores such as the indole-water and pyrrole-water heterodimers as well as cluster of further building blocks of life and larger microsolvation clusters thereof. The systems will be excited by laser light to trigger the photophysics and subsequent ultrafast dynamics. Novel probe schemes and imaging methods will be developed to study the evolution of such systems on the involved corrugated potential energy surfaces.This PhD position is within the Helmholtz-Lund International Graduate School (HELIOS) and based at DESY (Hamburg).

In the department of solar power plant technology, scientists and engineers are developing the autonomous solar thermal tower power plant of the future. For this prupose, they are investigating 5G solutions for the solar tower power plant of tomorrow as part of a NRW-funded project together with industry and university partners. With 5G radio technology as a communication platform and with PV modules on the mirror systems (heliostats), the cost-intensive cabling of a thermal solar power plant could be saved in the future, which has been necessary up to now to provide data transmission and energy supply for the thousands of heliostats. At the same time, distributed mobile sensor and maintenance systems that are integrated into the plant control system in real time can improve the power plant's performance and reduce operating costs.
The use of 5G wireless technology in a solar thermal power plant is a major challenge due to the large number of participants, the widely varying data rates and the high security requirements. Therefore, part of the project is not only to develop the communication platform, but also to test and demonstrate it in the DLR solar thermal experimental power plant in Jülich. For this purpose, a local 5G campus network will be set up on the premises of the two Jülich solar towers and some of the approximately 2000 heliostats will be converted into autonomous and self-sustained units.
The task of the student work is the technical evaluation of 5G communication in comparison to wired communication. In addition to the functional test of the control communication, this also includes the analysis of the data traffic under various load scenarios, the comparison of radio and wired communication with regard to various network performance indicators (latency, error rate, etc.) and the documentation of the results. The work will mainly take place on site at the DLR test site for solar technology in Jülich.

Help make aviation more sustainable and climate-neutral. How? Quite simple: Join the Aviation Fuel Impact team at the Institute of Combustion Technology and do research in the field of sustainable aviation fuels!
Despite the progress in electric- and hydrogen-powered airplanes, there are currently no technological alternatives to liquid fuels, particularly for medium- and long-haul flights. Therefore, there is a growing focus on research and development of sustainable fuels as a way to reduce carbon emissions and promote a more sustainable future. Changes in the composition of aviation fuel can influence several aspects of aircraft performance, including fuel efficiency and emissions of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. For example, the use of sustainable aviation fuels, which are produced from renewable sources such as used cooking oil and agricultural waste, can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of aircraft operations while also improving air quality. The composition of aviation fuel can also impact the formation of contrails, which can have an effect on cloudiness and climate. Finally, changes in fuel composition can also affect the cost of fuel and airline operations, with high-performance fuels potentially providing significant cost savings. Therefore, on the one hand, there is a push to approve as many sustainable fuels as possible, while on the other hand, there is a need to ensure that the use of new fuels does not result in any risks.
To address this, sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) are being extensively researched at the DLR Institute of Combustion Technology. The institute is involved in a number of large European research projects, both in the field of fuel production and fuel use. The aim is to develop sustainable fuels with a particular focus on minimizing the impact on the climate to enable a world of tomorrow worth living in.
In the last few years, unique data sets on the effects of a wide variety of fuels have been collected in international ground and flight measurement campaigns. On this basis, our team in the department of Multiphase Flow and Alternative Fuels (MAT) develops and applies data-based methods (big data, machine learning, digital twin) to maximize the benefits of sustainable fuels. As part of the department, you will work in an international team of about 12 scientists from Germany and abroad.
Your mission will be the data-driven assessment and optimization of Sustainable Aviation Fuels with respect to aircraft performance, emissions and environmental impact.

Would you like to contribute to a rational and environmentally friendly energy supply, work in an international environment, research exciting and innovative issues, and keep an eye on application and implementation?
Then the DLR Institute for Future Fuels is an attractive employer for you. We work on technologies and processes for sustainable energy supply for industry and mobility.
DLR's Institute for Future Fuels is researching methods of producing synthetic fuels using concentrated solar radiation. Together with the Institute of Solar Research, we are developing solar-chemical reactors for this purpose. For their design, we need models that represent the energy input by radiation into the reactor as accurately as possible. Precise prediction of the radiation distribution inside the reactor as well as mapping of the scattered radiation are important to determine the effectiveness of the reactor and also the thermal load of its components already before tests.
Currently, such models are based on the ray-tracing method, which calculates with idealized optical properties of the light sources and does not allow an exact mapping of the radiation distribution. Therefore, a new method is to be developed that maps optical properties of each individual light source from available measurement data by an inverse model and thus creates the basis for a precise distribution calculation. Within the scope of your PhD, you will develop such a self-calibrating model using AI methods, which continuously uses experimentally generated data as a basis for constant optimization. In a further step, you will develop coupling interfaces to both optical metrology and thermal-chemical reactor models.
You will work in a cross-institute and cross-disciplinary team (Institute for Future Fuels and Institute for Solar Research) and benefit from the exchange with our experts, which ensures very good professional supervision. DLR offers you the opportunity to further your education within the DLR graduate program by participating in advanced training measures.

Optical sensor systems designed for underwater inspection tasks of critical infrastructures, unexploded ordnance or serving research purposes such as archeology or wreck inspection, are highly affected by scattering and thus limited in terms of detection range. “Gated-viewing” is a time-of-flight (ToF) measurement technique that effectively reduces the contribution of the backscattered light in the acquired images.
Classical sensor designs are based on laser illuminators and image intensifiers. However, preceding projects have shown the potential of nanosecond-pulsed LED sources for illumination with a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) camera. The master thesis will focus on the integration of a high-resolution SPAD camera into an existing gated-viewing demonstrator for underwater purposes.

PHD Thesis

The Ph.D. position based at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) will focus on the time-resolved spectroscopy of photo-induced electron dynamics in atomic nuclei. Laser-matter interactions offer a plethora of possibilities to understand and manipulate matter with help of light. One of the ultimate aims of this research is to bring the investigation of photo-induced electron dynamics into new regimes, such as studying the electron dynamics involved in nuclear transitions, where energy is exchange between the electron shell and the nuclear states.The Ph.D. project will be pursued within the PhotoElement team led by Andrea Trabattoni and it will be embedded in the FS-ATTO group, that is one of the worldwide leading groups for the investigation of photo-induced electron dynamics in matter. The activity will focus on the development of cutting-edge pump-probe laser schemes for the investigation of this new regime of photo-induced electron dynamics. The mission of the project will be ultimately accomplished by combining table-top experiments with experiments at free-electron lasers, to trigger and control electron motions associated with high photon energies. A deep understanding of such processes is likely to have a huge impact on a large range of disciplines. For example, in future we may employ laser-induced electron dynamics to accelerate the production of medical isotopes or to store information in nuclear states, with immense benefit for edical science and quantum information.

The Institute for the Protection of Terrestrial Infrastructures aims to provide stable services to society. Digital twins enable monitoring and response to crises and attacks, as well as analysis and optimization of resilience of terrestrial infrastructures.
In the department "Digital Twins for Infrastructures", the structure and behavior of complex networked supply systems, socio-technical interrelations, as well as buildings and technical facilities is modelled and simulated. Currently, the generation of digital twins is associated with high costs due to the high amount of manual modeling work. In order to make the generation more efficient, this process should be automated. The use of existing technical drawings and data sheets, such as floor plans, circuit diagrams or manufacturer’s specifications, is particularly essential for existing buildings and technical systems.
Since nowadays most of them are still only available in analog form, AI/ML-based methods should be used in the context of automation to convert information into a digitally usable, structured form. Possible approaches include the use of machine learning to recognize standardized symbols, or identify structural relationships.

Research takes place within the German-French bilateral project "PALAVAS – Present and pAst weathering fLuxes from tropicAl Volcanic islAndS" in which the interaction between weathering and erosion in tropical volcanic islands will be evaluated. Within this framework, two doctoral projects on the German side (at GFZ Potsdam and FU Berlin, respectively) and two positions on the French side (IPGP Paris and EDYTEM Chambéry, respectively) will collectively test the hypothesis that the degree and rates of weathering and erosion depend on age of the underlying bedrock. Back through time, however, centennial to millennial-scale variations in climate may modify weathering and erosion rates, and these trends may be preserved in offshore sediment archives. We will use classical elemental geochemistry and state-of-the-art novel Beryllium and Lithium isotopes as tracers of modern and past weathering and erosion rates, in conjunction with biomarker analysis and numerical modelling.
Within PALAVAS the here advertised doctoral project will focus on identifying modern weathering and erosion processes by geochemically characterizing soils and modern river sediments and will be led by Dr. Hella Wittmann-Oelze. The project will be based in GFZ´s section 3.3. The second German project focusing on changes over Quaternary timescales will be led by Prof. Anne Bernhardt at the Freie Universitaet Berlin and will be advertised separately. The French projects will be led by Dr. Julien Bouchez (IPGP Paris) and Dr. Fabien Arnaud (EDYTEM Chambéry) and will be advertised separately. All successful applicants will be working closely together and will carry out research visits among the different research facilities.
