Challenges
Clarifying the non-uniqueness in Polarization
For ionic and dielectric materials, the polarization (dipole moment per unit cell) is plagued with non-uniqueness. As a 1D example, consider a 1D line of alternating positive and negative charges. If we agree that the dipole is a vector from the negative to the positive charge, then we have two choices for the dipole. This is because every negative charge has two different positive charges in its immediate vicinity. The situation gets more complicated in higher dimensions.

PhD position on wave-ice interaction at Aalto University, Finland
Hello,
We are looking for a doctoral student to work on wave-ice interaction. The emphasis in this research is on experiments in the 40m x 40m Aalto Ice and Wave Tank with a novel wave-maker, and our interest extends to ship-wave-ice interaction. The position is fully funded for four years and may include also field work.
PhD position as MSCA Fellow in the FibReLoop project
We have an open PhD position as MSCA Fellow in the FibReLoop project (see full description of this project at the end of this post).
