9. Fully Funded PhD Position in More Reliable Electron Imaging for Semiconductor Industry
Summary of PhD Program:
There is a growing demand for smaller and more powerful computer chips. A major challenge to meet this demand is that when components are extremely small, it is hard to make them visible and inspect with light. By using electrons instead of light, the highest possible resolution can be achieved for visualising semiconductor components. Inspection with electrons offers a solution, but the technique still has major, fundamental shortcomings.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Spread in Networks
Summary of PhD Program:
Epidemic processes widely apply to biological and computer network viruses, to cascading failures in power grids, to the spread of news, rumour or emotions in a social network, to transactions in banking networks and to the processing of functions and movements in the human brain. An epidemic process spreads over an underlying network topology or contact graph, that is generally changing over time. Standard models used so far are mostly based on Markovian processes and mean-field approximations. As the recent panic caused by Credit Suisse and Silicon Valley Bank throughout the global banking system has shown, dramatic improvements in modelling spread in networks is crucial to better understand and respond to such crises.
Application Deadline: April 24, 2024
11. Fully Funded PhD Position in LES of a Hybrid Power Generation System for Ultra-low NOx Emissions with Water Injection
Summary of PhD Program:
We are racing against time to find a clean, yet abundant, energy source able to arrest global warming. Hydrogen has all the characteristics to address this challenge: it can be produced cleanly from water; it is incredibly energetic; and more importantly, it is carbon-free. However, clean energy does not just imply low carbon, but also low levels of nitric oxides (NOx). While hydrogen-fuelled fuel cells (FCs) could be used as they do not emit NOx, their use in aviation as sole power generation system is very impractical due to their low power-to-weight ratio. As a solution, fuel cell and direct burning of hydrogen will be combined in TRIATHLON, where the water produced in the FC will be redirected to the combustion chamber and used as a mechanism to suppress NOx.
Application Deadline: 15th February 2024

Electron microscopy is at the heart of innovations and applications on the nanoscale in a wide range of sectors. The technology is, for instance, used in the semiconductor industry to observe engineered nanodevices, as well as for medical applications like cancer research. The major challenge of using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) is to correctly interpret the images created by the tool. The formation of these images depends on how the electron beam interacts with the composition and topology of the samples. Your challenge as a PhD student at TU Delft is to further develop and program models that will enable simulation of such SEM images. You will work closely with our partner ASML, leveraging fundamental research to improve nanoscale electronic device manufacturing.
