1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Empowering Human-AI Decision-Making through Real-Time User Modeling
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, we will explore the possibilities of tracking and inferring users’ mental states through real-time sensory data (e.g., physiological, eye-tracking, movement) and cognitive modeling (i.e., computational modeling of human cognition and decision-making). More specifically, we expect you to (1) study the literature and identify a few decision-making tasks and contexts where our approach has the most potential; (2) build data-driven and/or theory-based user models in the identified contexts of human-AI decision-making; and (3) conduct empirical studies to access the added values of the approach.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in PDE-extraction for semiconductor manufacturing processes
Summary of PhD Program:
The research objective of CASA is to develop new and improve existing mathematical (both analytical and numerical) methods for a wide range of applications in science and engineering. Mathematics research within CASA is often driven by models from science and engineering, for instance by mathematical expressions of physical laws (often systems of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations). Stimulated by the immense growth in the availability and use of data, mathematics in CASA is also becoming data-driven, with a crucial role in this for machine learning. There is enormous potential for the use of data and machine learning (particularly neural networks) in analysis and scientific computing, in combination with the use of first-principle models.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cybercriminal Frontiers of Social Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
Cyber-attacks targeting human users are on the rise both in sophistication and scale. Social engineering comprises an evolving set of techniques and capabilities that allow attackers to target with increasing precision Internet users at scale. Novel AI-based content generation tools, such as LLMs employed by chatbots, are now increasingly available to criminals to run Internet-scale social engineering attacks over many vectors, from email to voice calls to Internet messaging. The availability of personal target information through social media and personal websites (Open Source INTelligence, or OSINT), combined with the capability to automatically process and synthetize this information, will soon allow attackers to deliver targeted social engineering attacks at Internet-scale.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in self-learning control for future engines
Summary of PhD Program:
In this PhD project, we aim to develop innovative control strategies that optimize the overall system efficiency by on-line shaping of the heat release process while meeting safety and emission constraints. Main objective is auto-tuning of the engine’s control settings for every combustion cycle using real-time estimation of engine performance quantities. This self-learning, cycle-to-cycle control strategy shows close analogy with reinforcement learning concepts. Focus is on model-based development of observers and on systematic control analysis and synthesis for the studied nonlinear discrete-time system. The potential of the developed self-learning control strategies will be demonstrated on our state-of-the-art engine platform using FPGA control hardware in our Zero Emission Lab.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in neuromorphic computing & engineering: algorithms & hardware architectures
Summary of PhD Program:
Despite significant advances in AI, current systems must catch up to the animal kingdom’s efficiency in processing complex, real-time tasks with minimal energy in uncertain conditions. This limitation stems from a fundamental difference in design philosophy; while nature leverages distributed processing and inherent noise tolerance, modern computing relies on deterministic, bit-perfect operations with a clear separation between memory and computation. To bridge this gap, the NECS Lab is pioneering research into brain-inspired computing models that mimic the natural neural system’s computational physics. Our research entails the development of novel brain-inspired computing theories, learning systems, and the design of ultra-low-power circuits, systems, and computing architectures.

14. Fully Funded PhD Position in Advanced Materials for Regenerative Spinal Disorders Treatment
Summary of PhD Program:
Back pain is among the top ten diseases causing the greatest burden on society in terms of years lived with disability. It is estimated that 30 to 40% of these cases are attributed to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. Currently, there are no satisfactory treatments for IVD degeneration. If analgesics and physical therapy fail to control the pain, operative treatment can be considered in some cases, where the involved spinal segments are fused using metal/polymer cages. Such spinal fusion operations are very effective in relieving patients’ pain, but they are not always successful, sometimes leading to delayed fusions or non-unions.

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in Designing Advanced Materials for Interaction
Summary of PhD Program:
Harnessing the power of heat, light, or electric fields, Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs) can reversibly change their size, shape, and optical properties. With thermoplastic LCEs, designers now have access to a versatile actuator that is both re-processable and recyclable. This advancement enables the creation of customized, intricate 3D structures through fabrication and assembly methods, such as 3D/4D printing, injection molding, casting and thermoforming. These methods allow for finer-grained manipulation of material behaviors, paving the way for novel form-factors to scale into applications.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position in Isolated Auxiliary Power Supplies for Gate Drivers using Physics-Informed M.
Summary of PhD Program:
The presence of power electronics converters in medium-voltage (MV) and high-voltage (HV) power grids has been increasing and is expected to become predominant in the coming years due to the growing penetration of high-power renewable energy sources and electrified loads. Considering that available semiconductor devices have limited blocking voltage capabilities, modular multilevel converter (MMC) topologies are typically employed in MV and HV grid-connected converter applications. Thereby, the power supply design of the gate-driving units controlling the active semiconductor devices is not trivial. For instance, the differential control voltage applied to the switches is generally between -5V and 20V.

19. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in digital twins for modelling and forecasting induced seismicity
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for two motivated PhD candidates that will advance the fundamental understanding on the physics of dense stabilized emulsions to develop quantitative analogues for (induced) seismicity. Injecting or extracting fluids into the shallow subsurface carries the risk of induced seismicity.
