Projekt: Humana pluripotenta stamceller (hPSC) är ett lovande verktyg för att modellera embryonal utveckling. Genetisk omprogrammering av vuxna celltyper (t.ex. hudfibroblaster) möjliggör produktion av patientspecifika inducerade pluripotenta stamceller (iPS-celler) för att dissekera den roll som både medfödda och somatiska mutationer spelar för utvecklingsstörningar och maligniteter. Hälften av alla barncancerformer misstänks ha ett prenatalt ursprung, vilket begränsar tillgången till den cancerinitierande utvecklingsförstadiet. Humana PSC-baserade in vitro-modeller av embryonal hematopoes utgör ett lovande verktyg för att dissekera de molekylära mekanismerna för malign transformation som äger rum i prenatala cellpopulationer. I det aktuella projektet kommer vi att använda denna plattform för att karakterisera de utvecklingsmässiga konsekvenserna av trisomi 21 (T21), som är associerad med myeloisk leukemi vid Downs syndrom (ML-DS). Ett prenatalt ursprung är väl etablerat för ML-DS. De molekylära mekanismer som leder till denna fenotyp är dock fortfarande oklara.

Syfte: Det övergripande målet med detta projekt är att utnyttja de senaste metoderna för enkelcellsprofilering med hjälp av hPSC-differentiering för att dissekera de molekylära konsekvenserna av T21 på embryonal hematopoes och identifiera nya förmodade tidiga markörer och terapeutiska mål för ML-DS.

Genomförande: hPSC:er med karyotyp trisomi 21 kommer att differentieras med hjälp av ett nytt gastruloidbaserat differentieringsprotokoll, tillsammans med normala kontroller. Kulturerna kommer att provtas och analyseras med hjälp av flödescytometri, kolonibildande enhetsassays och enkelcellsgenomik analys för att bedöma hur specifika stadier av embryonal hematopoes påverkas av trisomikaryotypen.

Det är önskärt att sökande har en bakgrund inom utvecklingsbiologi och embryonal hematopoes. Erfarenhet av forskning inom utvecklingshematopoes, såsom cellodling, dissektion av musembryon, explantkultur, flödescytometri, immunfärgning i helkropp och/eller bildbehandling är en fördel.

Project description
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gradually become a cornerstone of modern life. Its success depends on immense computational effort and extended training times to produce sophisticated models. To handle the scale of these models, distributed AI training has emerged as the standard approach, which utilizes thousands of high-performance devices within a data center to collaboratively process tasks. When they are even more complex, the training infrastructure must eventually scale beyond a single data center, requiring communication between multiple data centers over Wide Area Networks or the Internet. Such communication exposes the training process to several network threats, such as DDoS attacks, traffic hijacking, and traffic analysis. While these risks are well-studied in existing literature, their impacts on distributed AI training, unfortunately, remain largely unexplored. This project envisions Bifröst, secure networks built for distributed AI training. Our objectives include identifying novel network attacks against distributed AI training systems. Furthermore, we aim to develop a measurement framework to assess the impact of such attacks on training performance, adversary costs, and model accuracy. Our ultimate goal is to design a generalized, cross-layer defense framework that integrates network-level mitigation and application-level optimization to comprehensively protect distributed AI training from network threats while maintaining competitive performance.

Project description
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gradually become a cornerstone of modern life. Its success depends on immense computational effort and extended training times to produce sophisticated models. To handle the scale of these models, distributed AI training has emerged as the standard approach, which utilizes thousands of high-performance devices within a data center to collaboratively process tasks. When they are even more complex, the training infrastructure must eventually scale beyond a single data center, requiring communication between multiple data centers over Wide Area Networks or the Internet. Such communication exposes the training process to several network threats, such as DDoS attacks, traffic hijacking, and traffic analysis. While these risks are well-studied in existing literature, their impacts on distributed AI training, unfortunately, remain largely unexplored. This project envisions Bifröst, secure networks built for distributed AI training. Our objectives include identifying novel network attacks against distributed AI training systems. Furthermore, we aim to develop a measurement framework to assess the impact of such attacks on training performance, adversary costs, and model accuracy. Our ultimate goal is to design a generalized, cross-layer defense framework that integrates network-level mitigation and application-level optimization to comprehensively protect distributed AI training from network threats while maintaining competitive performance.

Numerical work will involve established software tools, such as:


• CHEMKIN-PRO for steady one-dimensional simulations of laminar flames with detailed chemistry.
• CONVERGE for unsteady three-dimensional simulations of turbulent reacting flows.

A novel aspect of the project is the use of highly perturbed laminar flame simulations to inform CFD modelling of turbulent combustion in lean hydrogen-air mixtures.

Experimental work will be conducted in a chamber with optical access, where hydrogen-air mixtures of varying homogeneity and flow conditions will be studied at elevated pressures and temperatures. Ignition and flame properties will be analysed using advanced optical techniques such as:


• High-speed imaging
• Laser-induced fluorescence
• Particle image velocimetry

Experimental and numerical results will be evaluated and compared to refine both the models and measurement methods.

The position is based at the Division of Transport, Energy and Environment within the Department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences. The division conducts interdisciplinary research on energy efficiency and the environmental impact of transportation. Research topics include vehicle energy converters, fuel properties and sustainability, and shipping impacts on the marine environment. A key focus is on propulsion systems for road vehicles and ships, including combustion engines, fuel cells, and electrified drivetrains. The work combines modelling and experiments and is carried out in close collaboration with industry and academic partners.

Main responsibilities


• Develop a research plan and design test configurations in collaboration with senior researchers.
• Perform numerical simulations of:

• Steady one-dimensional laminar flames with detailed chemistry.
• Unsteady three-dimensional RANS simulations of turbulent combustion.

• Conduct optical experiments on hydrogen-air mixtures using techniques such as schlieren imaging, laser-induced fluorescence, and particle image velocimetry.
• Analyse and compare experimental and numerical results.
• Lead the dissemination of results through publications in high-impact journals and presentations at international conferences.

Qualifications
