The project focuses on synchronizing predictions when agents operate with mismatched local contexts and models,...

This postdoctoral project sits in automated program verification at the Department of Information Technology, Uppsala University, within the Division of Computing Science and the Programming Languages group. The research is focused on making it easier for developers to write correct and efficient numerical programs. A central challenge is floating-point rounding error, and the project explores ways to verify numerical code that is widely used in safety-critical embedded systems, data analysis, w...

This PhD position is part of a research group in scalable and secure distributed inference at Linköping University, Sweden. The project focuses on communication-efficient synchronization of predictions for distributed intelligent systems, where multiple predictive agents must cooperate and make robust decisions despite having different local contexts and models. The work combines ideas from information and communication theory, signal processing, and statistical learning. A central theme is how ...

This doctoral project focuses on developing methods to integrate animal welfare and antibiotic use into sustainability assessments of foods, meals, and dietary patterns. The work sits at the intersection of food systems sustainability, life cycle assessment, and decision support, with the goal of creating credible and transparent information for choices in production, procurement, dietary guidance, and menu planning. The doctoral student will join the research group for sustainable food systems ...

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.
