Kongens Lyngby
The section of Cognitive Systems at DTU Compute, Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is looking for an outstanding candidate for a PhD position on machine learning method development aimed at molecular science. The research position is part the research project DEep LearnIng Green cHemical caTalysis (DELIGHT) funded by DFF which brings together researchers from DTU Energy, DTU Compute and Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen.r
In this project we will develop a deep learning framework for reverse engineering of biocatalysts and pave the way for artificial (electro)catalysts capable of producing green fuels and chemicals; specifically an artificial Nitrogenase catalyst for production of ammonia.
Project description
In the DELIGHT project, we take a data-centric approach to learn the complex electronic interplay between enzyme and the cofactors using machine learning generated datasets of biological and artificial enzymatic catalysts and develop a deep inverse generative model for enzyme design. The enzyme dictate the catalytic effects at the cofactor structurally and electronically. Small changes in the surrounding protein can radically change the properties directly related to the electronic interaction.
We will develop deep generative models that learn electronic structure fingerprints of the enzymes that are critical towards catalytic effects. We will use discovered electronic descriptors to mimic nature's best enzymes via a conditional generation framework that tailors the electronic structure encoding for the catalytic properties in IL- nanocluster composites. Electronic charge density will be used for a continuous design space for inverse design. The project will combine concepts from the enzymatic catalysis theory, conditional deep generative models with 3D data coming from electronic structure of materials.
This PhD project will be carried out in tandem with two other PhD projects at DTU Energy and Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen. The main focus of this position is on methods development in deep learning based generative modelling for learning distributions over features embedded in Euclidian space.
Qualifications
You will have obtained excellent grades in your Bachelor and Master educations. A solid background in machine learning theory and software development is required. Moreover, knowledge of molecular and materials science through university level courses or project work is preferred. Furthermore, you should be highly motivated and willing to work in a team. Good communication skills in both spoken and written English, are a requirement.
Approval and Enrollment of PhD Students
The scholarship is subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled at the Compute PhD School at DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see the DTU PhD Guide. http://www.dtu.dk/english/Education/PhD/Rules/PhDguide
Assessment
Professor Ole Winther, Professor Tejs Vegge, Professor Jan H Jensen and Researcher Arghya Bhowmik will assess the applicants.
We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
