1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Dynamic Manipulation in Semi-Structured Industrial Settings
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project wants to explore the latest advances in robot control, robot learning, physics simulation, and robot hardware to generate robust contact-rich and impact-aware strategies that allow to perform assembly and pick-and-place tasks in man-made environments, targeting industry relevant use cases at required execution speed. This is enabled by latest tactile robots that are impact-resilient, back-drivable, and capable of sensing contact interactions with the environment as well as computational hardware and parallel physics simulation software, enabling to train complex control policies or adaptable sampling-based MPC strategies.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Energy-Efficient Online Learning Using Compute-in-Memory Architectures
Summary of PhD Program:
Self-awareness in humans is an innate capability, arising from the brain’s ability to process a multitude of sensory inputs. Emulating this functionality in electronic systems, commonly referred to as neuromorphic computing holds the potential to create highly intelligent machines capable of supporting a wide range of everyday applications, from autonomous vehicles to smart navigation systems. However, realizing neuromorphic computing in practice presents significant challenges, particularly in the areas of energy efficiency, reliability, and security.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in FEM Modelling of Sewer-Liner Failure under Chemo-Hygro-Mechanical Loading
Summary of PhD Program:
In this PhD position, you will explore the long-term performance and failure mechanisms of sewer-liner systems subjected to complex environmental loads. Ageing, delamination, moisture infiltration, and chemical exposure are real-world challenges that impact urban infrastructure reliability. As a PhD researcher, you will develop a robust Finite Element Method (FEM) modelling framework to predict how these systems evolve—and eventually fail—over time. You will develop a comprehensive FEM-based modelling framework for sewer-liner systems that integrates advanced damage, plasticity, and fracture models, as well as ageing effects and coupled chemo-hygro-mechanical processes.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Formal analysis and control of multi-agent cyber-physical systems
Summary of PhD Program:
The primary focus of this project is to develop novel distributed planning and control approaches for multi-agent CPS, in which each agent adaptively makes decisions by taking into account the interactions with other agents as well as environmental uncertainties. The considered multi-agent systems are subject to high-level requirements expressed through formal languages, such as linear temporal logics and spatio-temporal logics, with additional emphasis on security considerations.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Investigating and fostering socio-technical transformation at the nexus of electricity, heat, and mobility
Summary of PhD Program:
Creating a more sustainable future requires deep, society-wide changes that go beyond improving or implementing individual technologies. Rather, it requires changes in practices, regulations, technologies, infrastructures, markets, user preferences, and culture, not only within but also beyond the boundaries of individual socio-technical systems such as housing, electricity, heating, food, and mobility. However, both academic research and policy efforts often concentrate on improving sustainability in single socio-technical systems.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in material processing for sustainable batteries
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project is part of a national, multidisciplinary research consortium aimed at developing the next generation of sustainable batteries (Sustainable Materials & Advanced Technologies for Circular Batteries – SMART C-BAT) which brings together leading Dutch universities, research institutes, and industry partners to accelerate the transition to circular, high-performance battery technologies.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in mathematical modeling in imaging optics
Summary of PhD Program:
For an imaging optical system, the deviations of a perfect system are the so-called optical aberrations. An optical system can be described by an optical map that connects positions and directions at the object plane with positions and directions at the target or image plane. For an ideal system, this map is linear. Any deviation from this linear map is an aberration. To derive aberration theory for (complex) optical systems, the mathematically most sound approach is to use Lie operators. This mathematical framework was developed in the nineties of the previous century and successfully applied to normal lens and mirror systems. The relation between the Lie algebraic approach and the well-known Seidel aberrations are known for normal lenses.
Application Deadline: 18-08-2025
11. Fully Funded PhD Position in mathematical modeling of scattering
Summary of PhD Program:
The goal in freeform design is to compute the shapes of optical surfaces (reflector/lens) that convert a given source distribution, typically LED, into a desired target distribution. For ideal sources and optical surfaces we can solve the so-called Monge-Ampère equation to find the freeform shapes of the surfaces. Scattering elements however send light rays in multiple directions. They are used to reduce glare in optical systems. Current design methods that include scattering use a slow iterative process. In this project we will develop fast design methods for 3D optical systems with scattering surfaces.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in ML accelerated simulations and uncertainty quantification of composites
Summary of PhD Program:
Natural fiber reinforced materials are increasingly used as environmentally friendly alternatives for composite materials, due to the sustainability and circularity of the natural fibers (e.g. hemp, flex, bamboo). Natural fiber reinforced composites have applications in different engineering fields, including construction (used for insulation and load bearing members), automotive (used for interior components), and consumer products (e.g. in sporting products). The natural fibers used in these composites are sensitive to moisture-induced and chemical degradation.

Summary of PhD Program:
The field of process mining, a branch of business process management, revolves around discovering, analyzing, and optimizing business processes. It does so by extracting insights from event logs, structured records that capture sequences of activities, such as steps in a loan approval workflow, product purchases by customers, or patient journeys across hospitals. However, traditional process mining techniques focus primarily on control-flow, which describes the chain of activities.

15. Fully Funded PhD Position in Multi-Objective Optimization in Imaging Optics
Summary of PhD Program:
Imaging optics involves the design and optimization of imaging systems (cameras, telescopes, …) to most accurately capture and reproduce an image. This is especially relevant for high-interest research topics like optical metrology in chip production. The design process in imaging optics is inherently multi-objective, involving different competing performance measures. This could be on a more systematic level the interplay of quality, cost and manufacturability but also image quality itself can be described by competing performance measures.
