hela Sverige At Mälardalen University people meet who want to develop themselves and the future. Our 17 000 students read courses and study programmes in Business, Health, Engineering and Education. We conduct research within all areas of education and have internationally outstanding research in future energy and embedded systems. Our close cooperation with the private and public sectors enables us at MDH to help people feel better and the earth to last longer. Mälardalen University is located on both sides of Lake Mälaren with campuses in Eskilstuna and Västerås.
At the School of Business, Society and Engineering our students are studying to be for example Bachelors or Masters of Engineering, political scientists and business administrators. Here we have the research specialisations of Industrial Engineering and Management, and Future Energy. Our work takes place in cooperation with and in strategic agreements with companies, organisations and public authorities in the region.

Position description
As a PhD student in Energy and Environmental Engineering you work in the research specialization Future Energy and within the research project 'AI assisted CO2 capture in biomass CHP plants'. The project is supported by the Swedish Energy Agency. In the project we develop artificial intelligence (AI) assisted solutions to optimize carbon capture by chemical absorption and its integration in combined heat and power plants (CHPs). In that way we can contribute to increasing the knowledge to reduce the climate impact of human activities. The work mainly includes process modeling and simulations. You will present and discuss your work and results for colleagues at the university, at other universities in Sweden and abroad as well as with industry partners, both at meetings, seminars, conferences and in scientific journals.
FEC meets the future challenges in energy and environmental systems by investigating and developing processes and systems for increased resource efficiency and digitalisation in the transition towards a renewable energy system. A core area is enhancing the flexibility, to accommodate intermittent renewable energies such as solar and wind, and to meet the growing need of capacity. Resource efficiency includes utilizing bioenergy sources and at the same time enabling recovery of other resources, as for example nutrients. Another important area is investigating possible process integrations for both increased flexibility and resource efficiency. Further, digitalisation concerns developing new mathematical methods for model based diagnostics, decision support, optimization and control. Different simulation tools such as Modelica and ASPEN, machine learning, CFD tools including ANSYS and soft sensors built on e.g. spectral measurement techniques are used in combination to develop new systems for optimization and control. Buildings and urban infrastructure, industry processes and the transport sector are all important parts of the energy systems to be investigated from component level, technology, process design and operation perspective, and up to system level. Interdisciplinary work and the integration of research approaches from engineering and natural sciences with those in social sciences and humanities perspectives, as for example markets, big data handling and behaviour, are important to consider
Qualifications
Only those who are or have been admitted to third-cycle courses and study programmes at a higher education may be appointed to doctoral studentships. For futher information see Chapter 5 of the Higher Education Ordinance (SFS 1993:100).
Admittance to the post-graduate education in Energy and Environmental Technology will require at least one of the following terms:
• Master Degree (or equivalent) corresponding to 240 hp within the engineering field.
• Fulfilled courses corresponding to at least 240 hp, of which at least 90 hp must be on advanced level within the engineering field or
• Otherwise, within or outside the country, has achieved knowledge corresponding to 240 hp, but not being able to show a formal degree at this level.
Applicants should have ability to pass the education as well as proficiency and skills in writing and communicating in English.
Decisive importance is attached to personal suitability. We value the qualities that an even distribution of age and gender, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, can contribute to the organization.
Merit
Advantageous for the employment is:
• Solid knowledge in thermodynamics, physical-chemistry and mathematics.
• Experiences in bioenergy and CO2 capture and storage,
• Good knowledge in energy processes.
• Skills in simulation tools (Aspen Plus, Aspen Dynamics, gPROMS and /or Matlab)
The university will primarily consider a person, who after the overall assessment of documented qualifications and skills, appears to have the best ability to perform the work as well as contribute to a positive development of the research specialization Future Energy
