Diploma & Master Thesis

Your Job:

To achieve the goal of greenhouse gas neutrality, so-called negative emission paths must be followed to compensate for remaining residual emissions, in addition to the strict defossilization of the economic system. CO2 capture from ambient air and its storage represents an important technical solution in this context. In your master thesis you will develop approaches based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) to evaluate the increasing number of patents and scientific publications. The goal is to identify both disruptive and incremental innovations for the much-needed DAC technology. The basis of the work is a classification of DAC technologies as well as their functional descriptions, which was developed in cooperation with technology experts. Based on this, a methodology will be developed and prototypically implemented to identify innovations in the field of these technologies in a large patent dataset in addition to evaluating them with respect to their relevance. In the last step, it will be discussed to what extent the developed methods can be transferred to the evaluation of scientific articles.

• Familiarization yourself with the topic (NLP, Large Language Models, Patents, Direct Air Capture)
  
• Development of the methodology in close cooperation with the supervisors
  
• Creation of data sets (partly automatically by heuristics, partly manually)
  
• Prototypical development of the individual modules
  
• Identification of textual descriptions of technical solutions in patents
  
• Identification of the advantages and disadvantages of a technical solution with respect to the prior art
  
• Integration of the modules into a pipeline for identification and evaluation of technical solutions
  

Your Profile:

• Technical master studies with high affinity to Natural Language Processing (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, construction engineering) or information technology study background with high interest in technical applications (computer science, computational linguistics)
  
• Good knowledge of Python

IBG-1 - Biotechnologie

Work placement

Your Job:

Our Modeling and Simulation Group offers an interdisciplinary and agile research environment within a dynamic and diverse group. The project is an excellent example for research at the interface of computational systems biology and mathematics/statistics with a strong attitude to open research software development. For more information visit www.fz-juelich.de/ibg/ibg-1/modsim or github.com/modsim.

Quantifying the activity of enzymes operating within the large-scale biochemical network is a fundamental challenge in Systems Bio(tech)nology. Here, the unknown parameters must be inferred from models that are incomplete and data that involve errors. For such challenges, Bayesian analysis using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) has become the gold standard.

For addressing high dimensional parameter inference problems with Bayesian statistics, powerful MCMC methods have been proposed, for example the MCMC differential evolution and the Riemann Manifold Langevin Monte Carlo methods. Because of the specific structure of the inference problems occurring in metabolic models, direct application of these MCMC algorithms is, however, not possible.

In this project, you will bring MCMC methods into the setting of metabolic flux inference and, with inspiration from existing algorithms, develop tailored MCMC algorithms. You will implement the ensuing algorithms in an existing C++ framework, validate and benchmark them with a realistic case study.

The main focus of the project can develop either more in the mathematical theory of MCMC, the implementation of code for the Jülich supercomputers (GPU/CPU), or being combined with a practical modeling project.

Your Profile:

• You are highly motivated, with an interest in probability theory, mathematics, and data science.
  
• Very good practical C++ and Python programming skills allow you to make your ideas happen.
  
• You have strong interest in curiosity-driven multidisciplinary research.

Our Offer:

We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change!

We support you in your work with:

• An interesting and socially relevant topic for your thesis with future-oriented topics
  
• Ideal conditions for gaining practical experience alongside your Master studies
  
• An interdisciplinary collaboration on projects in an international, committed and collegial team
  
• Excellent technical equipment and the newest technology

PGI-8 - Quantum Control

Promotion

Your Job:

Among other applications, optimal control theory has proven its utility for the optimal calibration of quantum gates early on and has since been used routinely in experiments. The calibration is typically based on a figure of merit derived from experimental data, such as the average gate fidelity provided by the randomized benchmarking protocol. In realistic scenarios, these quantities however require a significant measurement effort to be estimated, especially in the high-precision regime relevant for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
You will investigate recent advances in characterization and benchmarking protocols for their suitability to provide efficient cost functions for the optimal control of gate calibration in full-stack quantum computers and simulators. Based on your assessment, you will develop new, sample-efficient optimal control approaches for gate calibration and test them in numerical simulations. You will pursue your research with the German research collaboration QSolid, www.q-solid.de , coordinated by Forschungszentrum Jülich. You will work with experts in quantum optimal control at Forschungszentrum Jülich (Dr. Felix Motzoi, Dr. Francisco Cardenas-Lopez), and in quantum characterization at the University of Cologne (Dr. Markus Heinrich). We aim at implementing your results in in-house experiments at Forschungszentrum Jülich.
You may consult the works by Dr. Felix Motzoi scholar.google.com/citations and Dr. Markus Heinrich scholar.google.de/citations for an impression of the relevant research.

In this position you will:

• assess methods and ideas in quantum characterization for their sample efficiency and adapt them for quantum gate calibration
  
• develop techniques to simulate and control the dynamics for increasing system complexities
  
• implement and optimize the relevant quantum circuits on atomic and superconducting processors
  
• cooperate and actively work with experimental partners developing quantum processors using this technological platform
  
• design and implement optimization techniques for full-stack improvement of quantum algorithms
  
• model major sources of experimental error for control theory or for error mitigation techniques

Your Profile:

• Masters degree in physics (or in a related subject)
  
• Background and strong interest in developing theoretical models and methods as well as in implementing numerical optimization techniques
  
• Interest in working closely with experimentalists
  
• Detailed knowledge of quantum physics and experience with quantum technology
  
• Strong mathematical education, in particular in relation to linear algebra
  
• Strong programming experience
  
• Ability to effectively communicate in written and spoken English
  
• Ability to work autonomously and in close interaction within a team
  
• Most importantly: enthusiasm to explore uncharted territory, develop, and follow your own ideas

Our Offer:

We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:

PGI-4 - Quantenmaterialien und kollektive Phänomene

Diploma & Master Thesis

Your Job:

In this interdisciplinary Master project, you are going to investigate the heat and signal transfer through cables that connect qubit control and readout electronics at different temperatures. The temperature range is between room temperature and all the way to below one Kelvin. The thesis includes creating a model that:

• Takes the cross-section of a cable with specifc materials as variables
  
• Makes it possible to vary length and temperatures of both end of the cable
  
• Calculates the corresponding heat transfer of the cable
  

Since thermal conductivity typically changes greatly with temperature, the heat conductance calculation would have to be solved differentially or the length of the cable would have to be divided into subsections that are small enough for a constant temperature to be assumed on the sections.

Your Profile:

• Bachelor`s degree or equivalent in electrical engineering, physics, mechanical engineering, or a related field
  
• A basic knowledge of integrated circuit design, system-level modeling, or computer architectures or even quantum computers can be helpful but is not necessary

Development of a method for efficient CO2 capture from exhaust gases and coupled treatment of industrial wastewater using gas hydrate technology.

Gas hydrates are ice-like, crystalline solids composed of gas and water molecules, whereby the water molecules form a three-dimensional network of defined cages via hydrogen bonds. The cages are stabilized by the inclusion of gas molecules.  Gas hydrates form under elevated pressures and at low temperatures if sufficient quantities of gas and water are present. They occur worldwide on continental margins and in permafrost areas, but are also increasingly being used for industrial applications. As part of the ILB-funded joint project “ECO: Efficient CO2 capture from waste gases and coupled treatment of industrial wastewater using gas hydrate technology”, a new method for the use of gas hydrates in industrial applications is to be tested. This includes determining the optimum pressure and temperature conditions for hydrate formation, the separation factor for capturing CO2 from industrial waste gas and determining the reduction of pollutants (degree of retention) in the aqueous phase. 

Your responsibilities:

• Independent planning and implementation of experiments to determine the above-mentioned parameters
• Analysis of the gas phase and the aqueous phase using Raman spectroscopy, ICP-OES and AAS
• Development of recommendations for the methodical optimization of the set-up and the procedure

• Publication of the research results in international journals and at conferences
• Collaboration with the project partner (University of Potsdam) 

Your qualifications:

•  Master`s degree (or equivalent) in chemistry or geosciences with a focus on geochemistry 
•  Basic knowledge in gas hydrate research
•  Experience in assembling experimental setups as well as the systematic planning and independent implementation of experiments in the laboratory
•  Knowledge of different analytical methods (e.g. Raman spectroscopy, ICP-OES, AAS) 
•  Knowledge of handling hazardous substances
•  Fluent in English
•  German language skills B2

What we offer:

• Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment
• State-of-the-art equipment
• Public service benefits
• Extensive training opportunities
