2. Fully Funded PhD Position in experimental investigation of flash-back in laminar hydrogen flames
Summary of PhD Program:
We are interested in studying hydrogen flash-back, fundamentally as well as in practical applications. Studies on hydrogen flash-back have been performed in the past, and in this project we want to improve and extend the current knowledge base. Specifically, we would like to investigate hydrogen flame quenching and flash-back on heated burners. The goal is two-fold: one the one hand we would like to create a deeper insight into the physics of hydrogen flash-back and quenching and propose correlations for industry, and on the other hand we would like to investigate novel measurement techniques that can be used in the industry to study and monitor hydrogen flames. We expect that Machine Learning will play an important part in the analysis and post-processing of the data.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Wireless Networks
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project you will focus on algorithms to extract meaningful information by analysing the properties of radio channels and of the EM environment. You will start with making an overview of the various approaches for RF sensing that have been presented thus far. Many solutions involve machine learning to learn the environment. However, by looking deeper into known properties of radio propagation in multipath environments, our first insights promise substantial improvement opportunities. You will find effective methods to process noisy, not always fully reliable sensor data, that may not always be available, including RF sensing, in order to estimate the locations and movements of individuals inside an office environment.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in time-predictable high-performance computing
Summary of PhD Program:
A major roadblock to achieving time-predictable high-performance computing originates from the complexity of the modern execution platforms designed to meet the computational needs of AI-applications. On such platforms, the need to reduce power consumption while maximizing peak performance results in a high-degree of resource sharing (caches, DRAM, bus, I/Os) causing unpredictable interference, thus preventing guaranteeing that the AI-application’s timing requirements will be met once deployed. This is an unprecedented challenge from a safety and real-time perspective.
Application Deadline: 06/10/2023

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Failure mechanisms in electromagnetic actuators
Summary of PhD Program:
The research activities of the section Mechanics of Materials concentrate on the fundamental understanding of various macroscopic problems in materials processing, forming and application, which emerge from the physics and the mechanics of the underlying material microstructure. The main challenge is the accurate prediction of mechanical properties of materials with complex microstructures, with a direct focus on industrial needs. The thorough understanding and modelling of ‘unit’ processes that can be identified in the complex evolving microstructure is thereby a key issue. The section has a unique research infrastructure, both from an experimental and computational perspective.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in simulation of a marine-size engines
Summary of PhD Program:
Work package 1 (WP1, 4PhD’s) focuses is on the performance of NH3 in the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)/Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) combination. NH3 might not burn efficiently enough (too slow) even in slow-running marine-size engines. However, the SOFC may be used to generate H2 and increase the burning velocity considerably. To study this in detail a numerical model (CFD) will be developed to predict the behaviour of NH3-fueled engines and the effect of adding H2 from the off-gas of a Solid-Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC).

14. Fully Funded PhD Position in Acoustics in high-precision water circuits
Summary of PhD Program:
Photolithography machines play a central role in the production of ever smaller and faster microchips and represent high-precision systems of enormous complexity. Water conditioning is often required in sensitive modules of these machines to maintain strict thermal requirements. However, a negative consequence of this is that pressure disturbances in these water circuits can generate undesirable forces on the structure. These pressure disturbances may be flow induced, from circuit components and pumps, for example, but may also arise from vibrations of the structure leading to acoustic cross-talk between locations of differing dynamic sensitivity. The goal of this study is to develop quieter & more effective water-cooling circuits by understanding and damping the sources of flow-induced vibrations.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position in Neuromorphic integrated photonics for sensing applications
Summary of PhD Program:
Photonics is widely regarded as the key enabling technology of the 21st century and its application and use in many scientific and industrial fields is accelerated though Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), which combine many optical components into a miniaturized chip format.
