2 PhD: Process Intensification and Electrification in the Chemical Industry Utrecht University in Netherlands

The Sustainable Systems research group in the Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering at Aalto University is seeking a doctoral researcher to study the sustainability of Power-to-X (PtX) value chains. The project sits at the intersection of renewable energy, chemical engineering, and process systems engineering, with a focus on decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors through computational modelling and optimization. The research aims to develop decision-making models and optimization st...

Postdoctoral position at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering on the structural performance of polymers in an alkaline electrolyzer. The project focuses on long-term failure models, durability, and lifetime prediction for selected engineering thermoplastics used in alkaline electrolysis for green hydrogen production. The work is carried out in close collaboration with industrial partner Alquion and has a strong experimental character. Research top...

This PhD project at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) investigates efficient online optimization for time-varying systems, with a focus on safe and adaptive learning control. The research addresses a key challenge in learning-based control: how to learn a model while still guaranteeing safety, especially when the optimal decision changes over time. The project aims to develop computationally efficient methods for safe learning in time-varying optimal control problems. A central research ...

TU Delft is offering a postdoc position in the AmmoniaDrive project on ammonia-fuelled SOFC-ICE power, propulsion and energy system ship integration . The work is based at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and focuses on how ammonia can be converted into useful mechanical or electric power on board ships without sacrificing range, speed, or safety. The project addresses major challenges in marine engineering , mechanical engineering , and zero-emission shipping . The selected...

Eindhoven University of Technology is offering a PhD position in the Sustainable Process Technology group within the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. The project is part of HyCARB and investigates how renewable electricity can be used to convert carbon dioxide and methane into valuable chemical building blocks. The research focuses on electrically heated reactors for dry methane reforming, a process that converts methane and CO₂ into synthesis gas for producing chemicals and fue...
