[Sweden] 5 PhD student positions in Basic Sciences

Welcome to Basic Sciences – an area that is fundamental to Chalmers and seven promising young researchers

What it can do for the world
Providing a nursery for the pure sciences, this area seeks to take responsibility for the continued progress and development of the university’s scientific foundation. Providing deep insight within core disciplines, the basic sciences are also a source of nourishment to the applied sciences and, ultimately, to society at large.

What we’re building on
Pure physics, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry and computer science provide a large part of our platform. We are an eclectic group of researchers dedicated to answering the calls of our chosen sciences. Some are leading experts in such specialised fields that our closest colleagues are on the other side of the planet. This is the nature of studying the universe.

Storage of carbon dioxide in deep geological formations is a promising technology for reduction of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. However, successful implementation will require a thorough understanding of CO2 spreading and the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical processes at the various geological settings under consideration. Furthermore, to build confidence in this technology, any potential risks must be well understood.
