About The SnT
The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg is a leading international research and innovation centre in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services.
We play an instrumental role in Europe by fueling innovation through research partnerships with industry, boosting R&D investments leading to economic growth, and attracting highly qualified talent. We look for researchers from diverse academic backgrounds to contribute to our projects in areas such as: Network Security, Information Assurance, Model-driven Security, Cloud Computing, Cryptography, Satellite Systems, Vehicular Networks, and ICT Services & Applications.
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:
