The Research Training Group (RTG 2561) “MatCom-ComMat”, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) since April 2020, is a collaborative research project of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Technical University Darmstadt (TUDa) and Dechema Research Institute (DFI) in Frankfurt (from January 2026 in Bad Homburg). We offer up to twelve doctoral positions in....

Part time 75% In Germany, cooling comprises around 20% of total electricity consumption. A promising alternative to conventional cooling methods is elastocaloric cooling, which utilizes stress-induced temperature changes in superelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs). Unlike traditional systems, elastocaloric cooling avoids the environmental risks associated with refrigerant leakage, as it relies on solid-state materials. Moreover, it....

75% part-time This research aims to develop origami-inspired microrobots using shape memory alloys (SMA) for advanced biomedical applications, such as minimally invasive surgery, targeted drug delivery, and in-situ diagnostics. Drawing inspiration from the principles of origami and the SMA microactuation effect, these microrobots are composed of interconnected, programmable microscale tiles capable of dynamically folding into....

Organizational unit —————— Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT) Job description —————— You are working on the development of thermoacoustic microsystems that utilize the thermoacoustic effect to convert thermal energy into acoustic waves, which can then be used to generate electricity or manage heat at the microscale. The goal is to improve the performance, efficiency and....
