====================================================================
Application Deadline: January 10th 2023
The Boysen-TU Dresden Research Training Group offers two doctoral scholarships from
March 1, 2023, for a maximum of 3 years. The interdisciplinary Research Training Group,
in what is its fourth generation, is conducting research on the overarching topic
"Hydrogen Economy – Strategic element of a future GreenGas deal". It consists of
four clusters. The Cluster H: "Techno-Economic Modeling of Hydrogen Value Chains"
consists of four PhD projects.
We are looking for suitable candidates (m/f/d) for subproject H1 "Mathematical
Optimization Models for the Design and Analysis of Cross-Sectoral Hydrogen Value
Chains" and subproject H2 "Coordination in Hydrogen Value Chains from an Actor-
Centered Perspective".
Scholarship H1: Mathematical Optimization Models for the Design and Analysis of
Cross-Sectoral Hydrogen Value Chains
===============================================================
The aim of this project is to develop cross-sectoral mathematical optimization
models and adequate solution algorithms in order to analyze the structure of
future hydrogen value chains considering various scenarios. In particular, the
distribution of the limited resources to produce green hydrogen across the
different application areas will be investigated. The main focus is the
distribution of green hydrogen in order to achieve the greatest possible
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
This project will be supervised by the Junior Professorship of Management
Science at the Faculty of Business and Economics.
Requirements
- Above-average academic degree (Master's degree or equivalent) in the fields of Management
and Economics, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics,
or similar
- Operations Research skills from your studies, especially in developing and
implementing mathematical optimization models
- Very good English skills and strong communication skills
- Three weekly core days for attendance at the research training group
- Participation in the teaching program of the research training group
(24 ECTS in 3 years)
Main supervisor: Tristan Becker <msci@tu-dresden.de>

Scholarship H2: Coordination in Hydrogen Value Chains from an Actor-Centered
Perspective
=============================================================
This dissertation project aims to examine the challenges of designing hydrogen
value chains from an actor perspective using game theory methods to derive
design recommendations for the coordination of the actors. Existing approaches
take a systemic perspective to configure hydrogen value chains in a way which
matches hydrogen demand and supply in the best possible way. However, this
neglects the fact that legally independent actors, which often have their own
interests, appear within the value chain. Therefore, it is important to analyze
how the interaction of actors with individual interests influences the hydrogen
value chain as a whole.
Requirements
- Above-average academic degree (Master's degree or equivalent) in the fields of Management
and Economics, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics,
or similar
- Operations Research skills from your studies, especially in developing and
implementing mathematical optimization models and game theory
- Very good English skills and strong communication skills
- Three weekly core days for attendance at the research training group
- Participation in the teachung program of the research training group
(24 ECTS in 3 years)
