The "Technical Standardisation for Trustworthy and Sustainable ICT, Construction, and Aerospace" research programme represents a strategic collaboration between Luxembourg Institute of Standardisation, Accreditation, Safety, and Quality of Products and Services (ILNAS) and SnT at the University of Luxembourg. This multidisciplinary initiative is aligned with Luxembourg''s National Technical Standardisation Strategy 2024-2030 and emphasizes sustainability across various growth sectors for Luxembourg''s economy. The programme includes cutting-edge research activities and promotes active contributions to international standardisation efforts. As a part of this collaborative research programme, you will join as one of three PhD candidates working on interconnected projects in Quantum Optimisation, People-Centred Design (PCD) for Sustainable Construction, and Sustainable Space. Each position addresses specific sustainability challenges through research and active contributions to standardisation efforts.
Your role
This fully funded PhD position focuses on exploring and developing hybrid quantum-classical algorithms to tackle sustainability challenges. Key areas include resource optimisation, energy management, and circular economy practices. Your research will involve:
The research activities will be hosted by the Parallel Computing and Optimisation Group (PCOG) at SnT, headed by Dr. Grgoire Danoy. PCOG specializes in optimization techniques, with a focus on distributed computing and AI-driven solutions PCOG conducts research in parallel computing, search and optimisation techniques, to provide efficient, scalable and robust solutions to state-of-the-art, large-scale discrete/combinatorial problems. Detailed information about the group can be found on PCOG website.
