About this position
This PhD project is based at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE) at Linköping University and focuses on computational materials science for organic functional materials. The research aims to understand how ions and electronic charge carriers move together across multiple length and time scales, with direct relevance for emerging energy technologies such as organic batteries, mixed ionic-electronic conductors, and electrochemical components.
The doctoral student will work on building a multiscale modelling framework that connects atomistic simulations with charge-transport models. A central part of the project is the development and implementation of a delocalized kinetic Monte Carlo method for simulating coupled electron and ion transport on parallel high-performance computing systems. The project also uses molecular dynamics simulations to generate the structural and electronic information needed for the Monte Carlo model, and machine learning to accelerate transition-rate calculations and rare-event prediction.
The work is embedded in a highly international and collaborative research environment with more than 150 researchers, including professors, researchers, and doctoral students. The student will be part of the Materials Science group within the Theory and Modeling unit at LOE, where experimental and theoretical researchers work closely together on organic electronics, energy technology, printed electronics, bioelectronics, and nano-optics.
The project is also part of the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE), linking the position to a national research school and a broader network in sustainable materials research.
