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

About the Job

As a PhD scholarship holder at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU), you will join our interdisciplinary team to explore the potential of quantum computing in transportation applications. This position is part of the QUANTRA project, which aims to revolutionize traffic network modeling and problem-solving by leveraging quantum models.

Under the supervision of Prof. Otto A. Nielsen, Associate Professors Sven Karlsson, and Carlos Lima Azevedo, you will work on developing novel quantum-inspired mathematical formulations of traffic network models and exploring their application in traffic prediction and control.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with researchers from computer science and transportation in a truly interdisciplinary environment, publish high-impact scientific papers, participate in international conferences, and take advanced classes to improve academic skills.

About the Project

QUANTRA seeks to address the challenges in traffic network modeling by reformulating spatio-temporal dynamics using quantum mechanics. The project focuses on computational design and feasibility, as well as selected demonstration cases, such as network state equilibrium estimation, travel time and flow prediction, and network control.

Leveraging DTU's Computing Center High Performance Computing capabilities, you will design, test, and assess computational environments for simulating quantum model performance for large-scale transportation applications.
