To enhance the application of AiiDA in their own research efforts, developers have created various augmentative tools over the years. The goal of this project is to work on these tools and implement new functionality, such that they can eventually become widely used also by AiiDA beginners, as well as possibly integrated into the main codebase. - Theoretical and Condensed Matter Physics

About 8inks:
Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized the world we live in today by enabling applications in mobile electronics
ranging from laptops, smart phones, to smart watches. Today, electrification of large industries such as electric
passenger vehicles, trucks, grid energy storage, and aviation is inhibited as conventional lithium-ion batteries
approach the limits of their performance. NextGen batteries are considered to bring the required performance
improvements but lack a low-cost, scalable manufacturing solution for market breakthrough.
At eightinks, we develop a revolutionary manufacturing solution of NextGen batteries: multilayer curtain coating. Our
technology allows high battery energy density, charging speed, and safety, all combined with lower production costs. It
is material agnostic and can serve as a platform solution for various segments of the battery market. To develop our
technology to the earliest possible market entry, we are working on all relevant aspects of NextGen battery design,
production, assembly, and testing. - Engineering and Technology

Landslides are a dangerous natural hazard affecting the lives of people all over the world. This thesis will focus on the detection of paraglacial landslides from a global glacier-velocity dataset. The behavior of these sites throughout time will be analyzed and compared to an existing landslide database. - Geomorphology, Glaciology

We are developing a teleoperated micro-assembly system. A core component is a force-sensitive micro-gripper. A first gripper prototype has been realized and evaluated. Your task will be to review and improve the current design and to implement automated object slippage detection. - Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics

The main goal of this work is to develop a modular system for the characterization and tuning of ultrasonic transducers both in hard- and software
Due to the intended modularity of the system in soft- and hardware, we can guarantee a high flexibility of the setup. This means that the system can be adapted in operation for a wide variety of transducer types and setups. - Electrical Engineering

In many autonomous navigation applications, the robot must interact with the environment to learn and complete tasks. Furthermore, these applications are safety-critical, and crashes cannot be afforded. This necessitates the safe learning of the unknown environment in order to achieve the task objective (e.g., detecting a leak or mapping an area). For example, consider an application of safe exploration in a warehouse with a wheeled robot to identify the source of a gas leak. - Mechanical Engineering

Antarctic ice sheets contribute significant uncertainty to sea level rise projections due to processes occurring deep beneath the ice. This project will use existing data from two passive seismic deployments to investigate the ice sheet – ice shelf transition of Kamb Ice Stream in West Antarctica. - Earthquake Seismology, Glaciology

The project will investigate the retreat and collapse of the Gorner-Grenzgletscher junction and quantify the role of englacial melt in the overall ice-loss budget. |
The surface mass balance of a glacier is critical in determining its long-term evolution. This thesis will explore the effect that the activities of a gold-mine operating next to a glacier has on the glacier mass balance. The area of interest is located in Kyrgyzstan and the project will make use of both numerical modelling and data collected in situ. |
