The University of Turku is a world-class multidisciplinary research university, hosting a vibrant community of 25,000 students and employees from over 100 different countries. As one of the leading universities in Finland, University of Turku offers study and research opportunities in eight faculties. At the Faculty of Technology, Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering brings together experts in physics, chemistry and engineering in a drive towards innovative materials engineering for future technologies and key societal challenges.
The Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering is now looking for a postdoctoral researcher or research assistant to join the Materials Informatics Laboratory group of Prof. Milica Todorović on the SmartCycling collaborative project with the Metallurgical Engineering group of Prof. Rodrigo Serna at Aalto University. We are primarily searching for a postdoctoral researcher, but there are suitable tasks also for a research assistant. In this case the research can be carried out in conjunction with studies and is suitable for MSc thesis work. In these positions, you will have a chance to make an impact by applying tools from artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the recovery of materials from recycling waste.
In SC-vision project, you will be working on microscopy images of black mass from recycled Li-ion batteries, where domains of constituent compounds are typically observed and analysed by experts. Our objective is to implement computer vision approaches for compound identification and quantification, to facilitate material separation and recovery.
In SC-entropy project, you will be applying statistical entropy models to quantify the circularity of recycling approaches. Our objectives are to computationally implement a statistical entropy framework and apply it to calculate the entropies associated with innovative recycling processes.
