PhD scholarship in Absolute Environmental Sustainability Assessment of ICT Technologies and Ser

5 days ago

Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time

This Ph.D.-project will develop a scientifically valid and transparent absolute environmental sustainability assessment (AESA) model for ICT systems, and based on this, an energy-certification of the ICT sector, aiming at laying the ground for achieving absolute.
If you are interested in laying the foundation for making ICT-based climate improvements, this position may be right for you. At DTU Electro and DTU Sustain you will work towards a greener world, by enabling the development of green ICT technologies. ICT is heralded as a key to ensure the green transition, and the tool developed through this PhD project will be the first of its kind and could play a vital role in ensuring that ICT solutions are employed for a greener future within the requirements of absolute environmental sustainability . You will be interacting with leading researchers in the field of communications and sustainability, and with a broad range of industrial and public entities, who all have a keen interest in the progress of the project.

Responsibilities and qualifications
This PhD-project will develop detailed models of the energy consumption of communication networks, evaluations of the used hardware and software, and modelling the absolute environmental sustainability impact based on life cycle assessment.

Your primary tasks will be:

  • Conduct detailed studies of the energy consumption of ICT networks and of data centres.
  • Investigate the associated CO2 footprint for sending information.
  • Develop an absolute environmental sustainability assessment model to evaluate the overall climate impact of ICT services.
  • Work towards a suggestion for a standardised evaluation tool of ICT services and equipment.

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. You must have a relevant background in either communication networks, climate footprint evaluations, or preferably both.
