About This OpportunityDelft University of Technology is recruiting a PhD candidate to study hydrogen–defect interactions in circular steels using atomistic simulation. Applications close on 30 October 2026 at 23:59 Europe/Amsterdam.
The project uses density-functional theory and machine-learned interatomic potentials to investigate hydrogen trapping, segregation and interaction with defects and tramp elements in recycled steels. The work is part of the CIRHY programme on hydrogen embrittlement in circular steel.
