PhD Position Physics Informed Machine Learning for Metamodeling Equipment Performance on Industrial Scale
Delft University of Technology, Delft
For the handling of granular materials, DEM models have been of value in supporting the design of bulk handling equipment in many ways. The current models are very detailed and accurate, yet not suitable for design optimisation due to their high computational costs. For fast and efficient design optimisation approaches, low computational cost models are required.As a PhD in this project, you will develop metamodels that are fast enough to be used for design optimisation.

Ensuring safe planning and control is paramount when we deploy autonomous robots in complex environments around humans, such as in agricultural or food-production applications. Unsafe decisions of autonomous robots may damage their hardware, the environment, or even harm humans. Together with an interdisciplinary team, we investigate new algorithmic foundations to ensure that robots only execute safe and desired decisions and plans. Whenever our algorithms detect potentially unsafe situations while the robot is operating, they execute countermeasures to keep the robot in a safe state. Such online verification algorithms allow us to mathematically prove the robot’s safety. To demonstrate and evaluate our algorithms, we work with various robotic systems such as mobile manipulators, quadrupeds, and drones, and deploy them in complex real-world environments.We are looking for an enthusiastic and open team player to help us develop the next generation of verification techniques that automatically certify the safety of autonomous robots in real-world environments.

PhD Positions Air-Sea Interaction and Wind Stress
Delft University of Technology, Delft
The presence of rich flow structures in the atmosphere and ocean down to the scales of atmospheric convection O (100 m - 10 km) has sparked renewed interest across atmospheric and ocean scientists in recent years. How does this diverse wind structure influence the exchange of energy and momentum through the air-sea interface, and impact weather and climate? Marine cumulus clouds, especially during rain, are one of the drivers of large wind variability and leave a clear imprint on ocean surface roughness seen in high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery. These multi-scale, heterogeneous wind patterns may change the surface wind stress in ways we do not understand.
