Generative AI (GenAI) is changing the ways writing, learning, and education unfold within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). 

On one hand, GenAI challenges traditional methods of learning and assessment, such as the take-home assignments or exams, which to a large extent can be delegated to GenAI technologies. On the other, GenAI tools such as chatbots and AI tutors are becoming embedded in everyday educational practices, altering how students read, write and learn, how educators teach, and how institutions assess and value student work. It is further an open question to what extent GenAI transforms STEM disciplines. How are expectations around expertise, critical thinking, creativity, and employability changing? And how do educational institutions navigate the balance between human and machine intelligence in shaping future learning environments?

This project invites theoretically and empirically grounded studies that contribute to understanding how GenAI is reconfiguring the practices, purposes, and values of writing, learning and teaching in STEM. Proposals may engage with one or more of the following themes:

• Assessment, Writing, and Academic Integrity: How are AI-assisted writing, coding, and modeling altering notions of originality, authorship, and evaluation? Which new human-machine configurations emerge or become contested in STEM education?
• Transforming STEM Learning and Pedagogy: How are educators, students, and institutions adapting teaching and learning in response to GenAI? In what ways are chatbots, AI tutors and code-assistants changing problem-solving, experimentation, and disciplinary expertise? 
• Educational Transformation and Institutional Practice: How are universities and faculty redesigning curricula, policies, and support systems to protect against or align education with GenAI? What new literacies and competencies are emerging in response to this changing landscape?

Responsibilities and qualifications
The successful candidate will conduct qualitative and organizational research examining how different stakeholders (students, faculty, managers, policymakers) interpret, adopt, resist, or institutionalize GenAI technologies in STEM in higher education. Experience with ethnographic or related qualitative methods is expected. Familiarity with theories from organization studies, science and technology studies (STS), sociology, education studies or related fields will be an asset. 

The PhD will be supervised by Professor Helene Friis Ratner and conducted as part of the Algorithms, Data and Democracy project, founded by the VELUX Foundations. For more information, visit: www.algoritmer.org. The candidate will conduct teaching as part of the ph.d. programme.

You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.

If you are interested in exploring both existing and novel optical fibers for generation of entangled quantum states, with the goal of developing a fully fiber-integrated source of mode-entangled photon pairs suitable for applications such as two-photon absorption microscopy, then this PhD position may be relevant for you.

In collaboration with multiple project partners, the PhD will establish a source configuration for generating mode-entangled photons, by taking into account the optimal fiber characteristics required for high-performance operation. Specifications for the fiber’s optical properties needs to be derived established. These will guide the development of a suitable fiber. The design process involves close coordination between theoretical requirements and practical fabrication capabilities, resulting in an iterative optimization to identify a fiber that offers the best balance between desired optical performance and manufacturability.

Using the optimized fiber, a prototype entangled photon-pair source should be constructed and characterized. The performance of the source needs to be evaluated in terms of its ability to meet the initial design specifications, with special attention to its potential use in advanced quantum imaging techniques. This evaluation includes an extrapolation of performance expectations based on further refinement of the fiber and source design.

Finally, the developed source is benchmarked against existing state-of-the-art technologies, such as sources based on spontaneous parametric down-conversion. This comparison highlights the advantages and potential of a fully fiber-integrated approach, marking the first demonstration of a compact, robust source of mode-entangled photon pairs designed specifically for two-photon absorption microscopy.

Responsibilities and qualifications
As part of your research, you will analyze and identify optimal optical fiber characteristics for generating mode-entangled photon pairs and assist in specifying specifications for an optimum fiber design based on specific application of the fiber source. To do this, you will collaborate with a fiber fabrication team. 

In addition, you will construct a prototype source of mode-entangled photons using the optimized fiber as well as other fibers and evaluate the performance of the designed source with respect to application within quantum imaging, using two-photon absorption microscopy. 

The PhD is funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark as part of a EUREKA program and as part of the PhD you will work together with multiple project partners and participate in regular project meetings and contribute to advancement of the composite project.

You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.

The Machine Learning in Photonic Systems group at DTU Electro at the Technical University of Denmark is seeking a candidate for a PhD position to research multiplexing in photonic integrated circuits for enhancing computing efficiency through parallelism.

The PhD student will participate in an international team in an EU-funded Doctoral Network project called MINDnet. The project consists of 15 Ph.D. students at 7 universities, one research center and two companies. The project has partners from eight different EU countries. All 15 Ph.d. projects are within the overall theme of neuromorphic computing and analog signal processing, targeting applications in the fields of communication, sensing, geolocalization, space and biomedical. 

This Ph.D. project will take place at DTU Electro. Apart from the time at DTU there will be secondments of minimum 3 months at Technical University of Illmenau (DE), HPE (BE) and University of Trento (IT). There will also be regular meetings with the other 14 Ph.D. students in the doctoral network, including 4 training schools and two workshops. 

As a participant of the project, the PhD student will become part of a team at DTU with numerical and experimental expertise in photonic computing. The activities within the project will benefit from synergies with other projects in the group as well as with other activities at the department. The main supervisor will be Assoc. Prof. Francesco Da Ros, DTU Electro.

Responsibilities and qualifications
The exponential surge in artificial intelligence (AI), internet traffic, and online services demands a revolutionary leap in devices, computing architecture, and integration technologies. As digital computing struggles to keep up with the growing demand, in MINDnet will investigate neuromorphic computing as a promising solution to support such a demand by getting inspired by the brain’s powerful and energy-efficient processing capabilities. MINDnet aims at addressing the challenge through a holistic optimization - from individual computing devices to the overall architecture, including a focus on applications, and training methods - across multiple technological platforms - photonics, electronics, biological neurons. Photonics is a promising platform however it suffers from relatively energy-inefficient nonlinearities, e.g. compared to electronics. Resonant structures can enhance the nonlinear interaction and therefore increase the energy efficiency of the process.

This PhD project aims to get an in-depth analysis of the potential of coupled photonic resonant circuits for optical computing.

The project will consist among others of the following tasks:

• Investigate the links between nonlinear dynamics and computing metrics in micro-ring resonators and coupled ring-resonator architectures
• Evaluate the number and spatial distribution of coupled cavities for photonic reservoir computing
• Validate the analysis on a small scale-circuit (< 10 coupled cavities)

The doctoral candidate (DC) is expected to travel to network partners under three secondments for a typical total duration of 2-3 months. Additionally, the DC is expected to participate in outreach activities including, but not limited to, YouTube videos, social media updates, participation in public events and campaigns, as well as dissemination to popular press. Furthermore, due to the mobility rules of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie program, the applicant must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Denmark for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before their recruitment date.

You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
