Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc in cellulose modification for printed paper electronics
The research will be conducted in division Biocomposites at the Department of Fibre and Polymer Technology. The Biocomposites group works in a multidisciplinary framework, with competences ranging from cellulose and polymer chemistry to mechanics and processing of composites and molecular dynamics modeling. The scientific interest is new material concepts, where structural and functional properties are combined. Material components include nanocellulose, plant fibers, wood, biopolymers, and are used in nanomaterial systems such as aerogels, foams, biocomposites, polymer matrix nanocomposites, inorganic hybrids etc. The post doctor will work directly with Asst. Prof. Yuanyuan Li.
Printed electronics have gained remarkable attention recently and bring new opportunities to traditional electronic industry. Substrate plays a key role as it determines the device processing and eligibility for applications. Paper substrate is of interest in the context of sustainability, low cost, flexibility, etc. Printability is often an issue as the paper absorbs materials into the porous structure, winkles after solvents from inks (e.g. water) evaporate, etc. The current project aims to develop green cellulose modification approaches to solve the issues.
The position includes research on the modification of cellulose. The project studies the interaction of nanocellulose with water and the printability of nanocellulose-based composites for electronics. The tasks include planning and implementation of experimental materials research, data analysis, and reporting in scientific journals. The experimental work may include material processing, material characterization, e.g. electron microscopy, mechanical testing and some theoretical analysis. The Pos doctor is expected to contribute actively to the joint activities of the research group, e.g. through supervision of master’s students, collaboration with doctoral students, etc.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc in aircraft emissions and noise modelling
The goal of this project is to develop models for prediction of aircraft emissions and noise. The model for aircraft emissions computation used within our research group is the Boeing fuel flow method 2 which should be adapted to also consider sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) at different blending ratios. A model for particulate matter should also be developed. In addition, a model for aircraft noise will be implemented based on the aircraft noise numerical code SAFT which covers several methods for aircraft noise mapping, from an ECAC Doc 29 implementation to more advanced simulation methods. Both environmental models should be suitable to compute noise and emissions (for fossil fuels and SAFs) along a given aircraft trajectory and for a given aircraft model. The researcher will also have to interact with other related projects dealing with aircraft trajectory optimization, climate impact and air quality which will be based on the mentioned environmental tool. Furthermore, he/she will have the opportunity to be involved in the KTH Centre for Sustainable Aviation (CSA).
