Two Ph.D. student openings are available in the Institute of Computational Science, Faculty of Informatics at the University of Lugano (Switzerland) with a start date in March or September 2012. The students will be enrolled in the graduate program in the Faculty of Informatics, and will work with Prof. Igor Pivkin on multiscale modeling of tumor induced microcirculation. The work will be done in collaboration with Prof. Petros Koumoutsakos group at ETHZ.

Description: The flow of blood and the transport of solutes in healthy and tumor induced microvascular networks will be investigated by developing novel multiscale particle methods.

The microcirculation in vascular networks is an inherently multiscale phenomenon. The endothelial cell glycocalyx and plasma proteins are nano/micro scale structures that affect the micro/macro scale transport of fluid and solutes near and through the vessel walls. In turn the flow modification affects through shear stresses the signaling and proliferation of the endothelial cells as well as the dynamics of the Red Blood Cells (RBC) in small capillaries.

The multiscale modeling of microcirculation presents a number of methodological challenges that are addressed in this project through the use of particle methods. Particle methods provide a unifying formulation for the description of phenomena across different scales and recent progress in molecular models, fast algorithms, and scalable software have enabled simulations using billions of computational elements that can readily describe phenomena across scales.

Specific aims of the present project include:

* Development of a coarse-grained model of the glycocalyx, bridging atomistic and mesoscopic phenomena affecting the flow in microcirculation

* Large scales blood flow simulations in order to obtain functional relationships that quantify the transport of blood and solutes across the vessel wall in tumor induced microcirculation

* Quantification of leakage in tumor vasculature and its relation to effective drug delivery.

The present study will enhance our understanding of the relative importance of phenomena associated with transport processes in the microvasculature. The results will help to quantify transport phenomena in healthy and tumor induced vasculature thus contributing to the development of rational strategies for cancer therapy.


Prerequisites: Candidates should have a background in particle based methods, strong programming skills, some knowledge of biology, an M.Sc. degree in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science or a relevant engineering discipline. The project will require an efficient use of high performance computing resources including Europe's largest supercomputers. Knowledge of Linux and high performance computing environments is preferable, but not mandatory.

Duration of appointment: 3 years (+an eventual fourth year).

Fellowship: CHF 40,000 (~ 46,000 USD) per year.

Inquiries should be directed to Prof. Igor Pivkin (igor.pivkin@usi.ch).

Area: Peer to Peer Architectures for the Power Grid

Vacancies: 1 PhD student

Project description: The Energy sector is undergoing a radical transformation. The traditional distinction between producer and consumer is slowly disappearing. In fact, energy production by such diverse means as photovoltaic panels, cogeneration, or wind power is easily within reach of average households that are currently being equipped with smart meters (energy measuring devices with computational and communication capabilities). These new technologies strengthen the vision of the future energy market, where any node of the power grid will buy, produce and sell energy to any other node in an open, peer-to-peer, democratic market. In this future scenario, energy exchange is more efficient, has higher availability guarantees and is cheaper.

To accomplish the exciting vision of a democratic energy market, we propose to investigate two crucial scientific and technological aspects. On the one hand, we shall perform a complex network analysis to identify the topological and structural needs of the power grid. On the other hand, we shall design, test, and showcase an innovative software layer (middleware) for smart meters. These two research initiatives are geared towards understanding and designing the infrastructure of the future peer-to-peer democratic energy market.

We propose a radical new view on power grid analysis and design by looking at the energy arena from a complex network/software point of view, rather than the traditional Electrical Engineering perspective. The research is strengthen by the collaboration with the energy companies active in the Netherlands.

We are offering a PhD position in accordance to this vision in one or more of the following areas: Complex network analysis of Power Grids, Simulation, Diagnostics and Diagnosability of failures, Peer-to-Peer architectures, Pervasive computing.

Area: Managing Complex Cloud Systems

Vacancies: 1 PhD student

Project description: Cloud computing is a novel paradigm where services and resources availability scales dynamically on demand. Due to reduced maintenance costs, more and more software solutions are provided as services within cloud systems, and first adoption of cloud concepts is proving successful, e.g., Google App Engine or Amazon S3. Still, there is a lot of space for improvement. For example, consider complex software systems, with sophisticated user interfaces, possibly built on top of legacy systems. And one notices that cloud computing does not provide necessary support. This is even more evident if we consider applications within highly dynamic environments with changing requirements on-the-fly, unpredictable failures, with limited or no control over execution. This is especially important in the domains where maintaining single version of the software system satisfying all potential customers is either unfeasible or cost-ineffective.

One of the possible solutions is to apply intentional aspects to the development and deployment of services in the cloud. Intentions represent goals and expectations of different parties involved in the cloud: software providers, customers, cloud infrastructure vendors, etc. Intentions are inherently declarative, leaving a complete freedom for the execution environment to decide how to execute the program, and how to achieve (or not to violate) given declarative definitions. Having intentions attached to individual services (in form of service level agreements), to software systems, to cloud infrastructure would result in better cloud solutions, giving more control to individual participants yet maintaining traditional cloud computing benefits.

We offer a PhD position in the area of service oriented architecture considering one or more of the following topics: Cloud computing infrastructure, Software as a service scenarios, Automatic composition of services, Domain-specific languages for cloud systems.

Required profile (for both positions):
