Masters Scholarships at Mid Sweden University

PhD scholarships in Integrated Power Electronics in Denmark

Apply no later than 25 January 2015

Two 3-year PhD scholarships are available at DTU Electrical Engineering at Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

DTU Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) conducts research within acoustics, antennas, biomedical engineering, electric technology, physical electronics, playware, power electronics, and robotics. An important part of this research is carried out in close cooperation with the industry and international research institutions.

Responsibilities and tasks

The PhD projects seeks to develop a highly integrated offline AC/DC converter and is carried out in collaboration between DTU Electrical Engineering and the new spin-out/start-up company Nordic Power Converters (NPC). To achieve this, a large part of the electronics in the offline converter must be monolithically integrated into one or two integrated circuits in advanced high-voltage processes. The primary focus in the two PhD projects is to develop the integrated circuits for this.

Qualifications

Candidates should have a MSc in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the MSc in engineering. It is an advantage if candidates have several of the following qualifications:

• You know CMOS processes and preferably have knowledge about high voltage CMOS processes


• You have experience in analysis and synthesis of analog integrated circuits


• You have experience with high frequency design


• You know the MOS transistor at a detailed level


• You have experience using Cadence and have used DRC and LVS tools


• You have experience with power converters or radio frequency amplifiers


• You have experience in performing measurements in integrated circuits


• You are good at organizing your tasks and can work independently with these


• You have good analytical skills


• You speak and write English at a high level

Approval and Enrolment

The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide.

Assessment

The assessment of the applicants will be made by Associate Professor Ivan Jørgensen.

We offer

We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility. DTU is a leading technical university in Northern Europe and benchmarks with the best universities in the world.

Salary and appointment terms

The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years. The workplace is DTU Lyngby Campus.

Application

Please submit your online application no later than 25 January 2015. Applications must be submitted as one pdf file containing all materials to be given consideration. To apply, please open the link “Apply online,” fill in the online application form, and attach all your materials in English in one pdf file. The file must include:

• A letter motivating the application (cover letter)


• Curriculum vitae


• Grade transcripts and BSc/MSc diploma (an official translation into English)


• Excel sheet with translation of grades to the Danish grading system (see guidelines and excel spreadsheet here)

Candidates may apply prior to obtaining their MSc, but cannot begin before having received it.

All qualified candidates irrespective of age, gender, race, disability, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.

Department of Electrical Engineering is the central department within electrical and biomedical engineering. Including PhD students we have more than 260 staff members. It is our goal to ensure research and engineering training at the highest international level. The department is organized into 7 sections each covering important areas of electrical and biomedical engineering.

PhD scholarships in Integrated Power Electronics in Denmark

Scholarship for PhD study or MSc study in Mechanical Engineering in turkey

Deadline for applications: 16.01.2015

Degree: PhD in mechanical engineering or MSc. in Mechanical Engineering

Scholarship: 1800 TL per month (PhD students) or 1500 TL per month (MSc Students) + Dormitory + Tuition Waiver

Duration: 3 years (PhD Students) or 2 years (MSc. Students)

Abstract: Single droplets or droplets in the form of a spray are used in many key technologies, such as combustion chambers of car engines and jet engines, surface coating, surface cooling, surface reactions, respiratory drug delivery, fire extinguishers, pesticide applications and inkjet applications. Besides those applications, there are harmful effects for example droplets imping to the blades of a steam turbines or pipes in nuclear or thermal power plants. The level of understanding of the wall-droplet interaction during impact of droplets determines the success of the developed technology and, moreover, allows the development of new technologies. The objective of the project is to conduct experimental and numerical investigations on the dynamics of droplet(s) impacting to a moving surface. Fundamental research will be made which is necessary for the coating of moving surfaces and generation of spray with the help of moving surfaces. Surfaces having different roughness, topology and wettability characteristics will be used, so that the results of the research can be applicable in a wide range of applications. Preliminary research will be made on the coating of LED chips to determine the operational limits of such coating. This project will help to generate knowledge and experience in the field of coating and spray in Turkey. The results can be used directly in technological applications. To utilize those results, contacts will be established with relevant companies and if applicable patents will be issued. In addition to those, short courses will be offered to the researchers working this field.
