PhD Student in Energy Engineering with Focus on Human-Buildings Interaction
The Department of Applied Physics and Electronics currently has approximately 100 employees and conducts research in areas such as energy engineering, laser spectroscopy, medical technology, and electronics. The department hosts the IHBI laboratory (Intelligent Human-Buildings Interaction), an interdisciplinary research environment that develops new methods for studying the interaction between people and the built environment. The laboratory offers an advanced experimental platform that integrates immersive virtual environments with a state-of-the-art climate chamber, making it possible to test realistic scenarios under controlled and reproducible conditions. We are now seeking a PhD student in energy engineering with a focus on Human-Buildings Interaction. The start date is September 15 or by agreement. The application deadline is August 15, 2026. Project Description The project aims to generate new knowledge about how households interact with energy systems in a sustainable built environment. Special emphasis is placed on people's different behaviors, opportunities for participation, and questions of social sustainability. The project is based on an interdisciplinary perspective where building technology is combined with environmental psychology and knowledge of human-building interaction. This contributes to a deeper understanding of how sustainable energy transitions can be designed to work well both technically and socially, and are adapted to real residential environments. The project uses a combination of different methods, including controlled experiments in the IHBI laboratory, studies in immersive and intelligent built environments, and analysis of behavioral and physiological data. The work also includes development of personas, use of LLM-enhanced decision narratives, and agent-based social modeling. The knowledge generated in the project shall form the basis for new methods and tools to better analyze household energy behaviors. Particular focus is on identifying barriers and variations among different user groups and developing evidence-based strategies for more inclusive and sustainable energy solutions in the built environment. As a PhD student in the project, you will work with experimental research using immersive virtual environments, climate chambers, and advanced sensor technology. The goal is to create new knowledge about how people perceive, use, and adapt to buildings, and to contribute to the development of more inclusive and energy-efficient solutions. Qualifications To be admitted to education at the research level, the applicant must have basic eligibility through a completed degree at an advanced level, completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits (hp), of which at least 60 hp at an advanced level, or in some other way acquired substantially equivalent knowledge.
