Doctoral student (licentiate) in efficient cooling and overheating KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden

KTH Royal Institute of Technology is seeking a doctoral student for a research project on energy-efficient cooling and overheating mitigation in elderly care homes in Stockholm, Sweden. The project addresses the challenge of maintaining thermal comfort and safe indoor conditions for elderly residents while improving the energy efficiency of building cooling systems. The research is especially relevant to HVAC design, building energy systems, building physics, sustainable buildings, and the optim...

This postdoctoral project focuses on the techno-economic analysis of resilient urban energy systems for the south-eastern districts of Uppsala. The work addresses a real planning challenge for one of Sweden’s largest urban development projects, with the results intended to support municipal decision-making as the district is built out. The successful candidate will work on concepts for supplying a new urban district with both heat and electricity in a way that remains robust under disruptions. T...

This doctoral project is based in the Division for Concrete Structures at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and sits within the third-cycle subject of Civil and Architectural Engineering. The research focuses on hydraulic design of hydropower structures, with particular attention to hydro dam bottom outlets. These outlets are critical for dam safety and operation because they are used for emergency lowering of reservoir water levels and may also be used when spillway overflow occurs. The project...

KTH Royal Institute of Technology is recruiting a doctoral student for research on the structural rehabilitation of concrete hydro dams within the Division for Concrete Structures at the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering. The project focuses on reinforced concrete structures used in hydropower, especially spillways and related concrete elements that have been exposed to decades of varying water flows and, in some cases, extreme high-flow events. The research aims to improve under...
