PhD project descriptionNovel and innovative technologies like automated and autonomous driving will provide solutions to pressing global issues related to traffic. Autonomous cars will contribute by optimizing traffic flows, resulting in a more efficient use of energy resources and infrastructure. In addition, they ensure better traffic regulation, which results in fewer casualties and more safety. Radar systems are a basic prerequisite for automated and autonomous driving. However, the amount of radar sensors per car must increase from one to about ten in the future to allow for full autonomy. This, in turn, demands very cost-effective solutions without compromising on their performance. To address this need, new antenna types and distributed antenna systems with antenna elements that are spread across the entire car are needed, also calling for different integration strategies.The Antenna Systems group (https://www.tue.nl/en/research/research-groups/electromagnetics/em-antenna-systems-lab) is looking for two PhD students to conduct research on antenna systems for future automotive radars. Antenna integration using novel integrated circuit (IC) packaging technologies as well as antenna-electronics co-design are focus areas for this research. Also basic radar system design, e.g. for the implementation of a testbed, lies within the scope of the positions.Embedding of the PhD studentsThe positions are embedded in two large European initiatives called DistriMuse and SOIL with large consortia spread of multiple countries and industries. The successful candidates are expected to contribute to the deliverables of the projects and represent TU/e at the project meetings (scheduled every six months).At TU/e, the candidates are part of the Antenna Systems team within the Electromagnetics group(https://www.tue.nl/en/research/research-groups/electromagnetics/).

To mitigate seismic risks from subsurface exploitation sites (geothermal energy, subsurface CO2, H2 storage), accurate seismic hazard assessment (SHA) is a necessity. In regions without historical earthquakes, conventional ground motion models cannot be locally calibrated and thus suffer from large uncertainty, rendering them unreliable for the seismic risk assessment of future subsurface activities. The SHAWave project - a collaboration between various Dutch universities and research institutes as part of the DeepNL research programme - will take a new and innovative approach to conduct probabilistic seismic hazard assessment. This approach combines novel computational modeling techniques, based on waveform simulations, with advanced data calibration and risk quantification techniques.Job Description Within the SHAWave project, you will develop a state-of-the-art poromechanichal computational model to emulate anelastic (e.g., viscoelasticity) near surface effects. The model will be built on the first-principle-based subsurface simulation tools already developed at TU/e, which are based on state-of-the-art finite element methods. The developed model will be used to assess the validity of other simulators developed in SHAWave and to derive transfer-functions for the anelastic near surface. The most prominent components of your work within SHAWave are:To accurately and efficiently model wave propagation in the near-surface layer, you will be using isogeometric analysis (IGA) - an advanced higher-order finite element technique with the potential to yield accurate results on coarse meshes - to solve Biot's model for poroelasticity.You will incorporate viscoelastic effects in the poromechanical simulator using a thermodynamically consistent framework which ensures that dissipative mechanisms are incorporated in a physically sound manner.You will study the influence of poromechanical effects and anelastic material behavior on the full-scale waveform model developed at one of the project partners.You will develop upscaling procedures to convert the anelastic poromechanical model results into (averaged) amplification and damping functions, which help to improve the results of the full-scale waveform model.Your project will be embedded in the Energy Technology section at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). You will work together with the partners in the SHAWave project to ensure that the developed poromechanical model is successfully integrated.Requirements: You have experience with or a strong background in applied mathematics, physics and computational engineering. Preferably, you finished a Master's program in the areas of Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, (Applied) Physics, (Applied) Mathematics, Computer Science, or equivalent.You are a proficient programmer, willing to dedicate a substantial part of your time to high-performance computing software development.You have good communication skills and the attitude to participate successfully in the work of a research team.You have good command of the English language (knowledge of Dutch is not required).You are a talented and enthusiastic young researcher.Salary Benefits: A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network.

Increasingly complex 3D shapes are used as Semicon devices, requiring advanced metrology techniques to monitor production and understand performance of the devices. Atomic force microscopy allows to reach the required sub-nm accuracy by using relatively blunt probes, sensing always in the same direction, but only the top of the 3D shapes can be explored.This PhD project is part of a larger project in collaboration with TNO (Dutch Organization for Applied Scientific Research) and the semiconductor metrology company Nearfield Instruments, which aims to enable the use of nanotube-based probes to scan the profile on the samples with more challenging topographies. The nanotube probe shape strongly improves how well holes or trenches in the sample can be accessed. However, the slender probes become weaker in lateral direction, while sensitivity in this direction is also needed to thoroughly scan the samples. Within the project, this position focuses on the modelling and simulation of the nanotube-based profiling, whereas the other two work on the control and experimental part of the project.Job Description This PhD position aims to understand the nonlinear dynamics that drive the probe motion in the neighborhood of high-aspect ratio sample structures. In particular, van der Waals-type attractive forces, electrostatic forces and squeeze-film damping forces will bring a strongly nonlinear force-position dependency, which, in contrast to conventional approaches, cannot be understood by a spherical tip & flat surface approximation. Hence, to derive a proper dynamic model of the probe motion, different important steps need to be performed includingThe development of  a 3D force model of the probe tip in the vicinity of the sample.Based on the dynamical analysis derived from the force model, developing a two-dimensional sensing capacity where profile information can be obtained in longitudinal as well as in lateral direction of the nanotube probe.Consideration of sideways bending and buckling of the narrow probe in the model.Experimental validation of the 2D profile sensing.EmbeddingYou will execute this project in the Autonomous and Complex Systems group of the Dynamics and Control (D&C) section at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology, and TNO Optomechatronics in Delft.The mission of the Dynamics and Control Section, which consists of 22 faculty members and 45 researchers, is to perform research and train next-generation students on the topic of understanding and predicting the dynamics of complex engineering systems in order to develop advanced control, estimation, planning, and learning strategies which are at the core of the intelligent autonomous systems of the future: Designing and realizing smart autonomous systems for industry and society.TNO Optomechatronics develops world-class optomechatronic systems for applications in space, big science, and the semiconductor industry. We push back the boundaries of technology, so as to give impetus to the high-tech industry and enable scientific discoveries.Requirements: You have experience with or a strong background in mechanical engineering, especially in the context of modelling and simulation. Preferably, you finished a Master's program in the areas of Mechanical Engineering, (Applied) Physics, (Applied) Mathematics, Mechatronics, Micro/Nanosystems, Systems and Control, Electrical Engineering or equivalent.You have good communication skills and the attitude to participate successfully in the work of a research team.You are motivated to develop your teaching skills and coach students.You have good command of the English language (knowledge of Dutch is not required).Salary Benefits: A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network.

In these times where circularity and accessibility to safe drinking and irrigation water is becoming increasingly important and under pressure, (membrane)adsorption is an attractive method to attack water scarcity by selectively removing harmful micropollutants and undesired components from the water cycle such that polluted water can be safely reused. The application of membrane adsorbers is sustainable and contributes to a circular economy with a focus on recovery and reuse of valuable resources. The aim of this research is the development of a green platform to design and prepare membrane adsorbers.Details of the PhD-project Membrane adsorbers are porous structures (polymer matrix) with specific functionalities that selectively adsorb and remove undesired components from water sources. As both the type of matrix material and its morphology as well as the specific functionalities can be selected independently, membrane adsorption is a very versatile technology applicable for the purification or recovery of a multitude of different feed streams and applications.  The approach proposed here is founded on nanofiber electrospinning using water or green solvent soluble polymers with intrinsic functionalities to prepare porous hierarchical structures in one single step with tunable properties for specific separations. Electrospinning is a fiber production method that uses an electrical voltage to generate fibers from a polymer solution that are collected on a removable support forming a highly porous fibrous mat. The thickness, porosity and pore size can be easily tailored towards a specific application. The green solvent par excellence is water and ideally water-soluble polymers or bio-polymers are used to prepare electrospunbound membrane adsorbers. Additionally, the adsorption selectivity can be easily tailored by dispersing active particles to the polymer solution followed by co-electrospinning or by post functionalisation of the obtained nanofibers. Developed electrospun absorber mats are used to make membrane adsorber modules by stacking or wrapping the mats followed by performance characterization and evaluation in artificial and real industrial aqueous environments. This project contributes to increasing the fundamental knowledge about electrospinning and the embedding of adsorption functionality, meanwhile increasing the effectiveness of the membrane adsorption technology and the availability of clean and safe drinking water.Membrane Materials and Processes at Eindhoven University of TechnologyThe research will be conducted at the research group Membrane Materials and Processes (MM/P) part of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at the TU/e (The Netherlands).The research group MM/P focuses on the design, development, characterization and application of polymer membranes to control mass transport in sustainable processes.

Are you passionate about emerging technologies and committed to improving the performance of the built environment? If you are motivated to find out how Digital Twins and decentralised data infrastructures can accelerate the circular transition of the built environment, then this position is for you.ContextThe construction sector is responsible for 50% of raw material consumption and 35% of all waste. In the Netherlands, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from material extraction, manufacturing of construction products, construction, and renovation of buildings are estimated at 5-12% of the total national GHG emissions. Research shows that greater material efficiency could save 80% of those emissions. Therefore, strong commitments are made at national and European levels to stimulate the implementation of a circular economy. The recovery rate for Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) has increased significantly; however, recovery and recycling represent the lowest levels in the circular economy model. A circular built environment needs to close biological and technical loops to maximize the value of building products and materials, enable their reuse, and prevent waste from being created in the first place. Several existing initiatives address these challenges to various extents by, e.g., representing Buildings as Material Banks (BAMB), representing building products and material constituents in (Digital) Product Passports, defining measurement indicators for circularity (e.g., Building Circularity Index (BCI), Material Circularity Indicator (MCI)), and creating marketplaces enabling the reuse of CDW. Each of these initiatives has made important contributions to demonstrating how the industry can transform from existing linear supply chains to new circular ones. However, existing efforts have not yet achieved systemic change.The TU/e-led UPSCALE project aims to enable the targeted and needed socio-technical paradigm shift via a systemic and interdisciplinary approach and collaboration throughout the entire construction ecosystem. UPSCALE strives to transform the traditional supply chains in construction into dynamic supply networks enabled by Peer-to-Peer (P2P) principles. Besides targeting behavioural and economic change, the project aims to leverage the potential of digitalisation to create a trusted digital ecosystem. The envisioned system relies on a decentralised network of existing built assets, circular construction hubs and users to help link, evaluate, track, trace and reuse construction products and materials throughout their service lifecycle.Research ActivitiesTU/e will contribute with research and implementation of the decentralised digital infrastructure to enable tracking, tracing, and linking CDW using state-of-the-art decentralised web technologies with decomposed asset data in Building Information Models and networked Digital Twins enriched for circularity (i.e., Networked Circularity Twins). The digital ecosystem integrates multi-stakeholder motives and business concepts such as Product-as-a-Service (PaaS) supported by Life-long Networked Product Passports (LNPP). The system will monitor products and materials throughout their life cycle within single and multiple built assets (Track & Trace). Besides decentralised tracking, management and reusing of CDW flows, the intended UPSCALE infrastructure is based on Green Business Process Management (BPM) technology, in which the expected carbon footprints of logistic, construction activities and materials are explicitly considered. The developed solutions will be tested in three different demonstrators that include circular public buildings, consolidation centres (construction hubs), and circular bio-based social housing.Based on the above, the main research activities include:Definition of requirements and development of the UPSCALE system architecture;Implementation of the Networked Circularity Twin infrastructure relying on a data mesh architecture linking multiple UPSCALE data hubs;Development of Life-long Networked Product Passports (LNPPs) per built asset;Implementation of Track&Trace model for products and materials.You will become part of the Information Systems in the Built Environment (ISBE) group at the Department of the Built Environment. You will join a recognized team under the supervision of Dr. Ekaterina Petrova and Dr. Pieter Pauwels from the Department of the Built Environment and Dr. Rik Eshuis from the Department of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences. Not only will you be part of a challenging and innovative project, but you will also be able to learn, apply and improve diverse data handling and software development techniques in support of the creation of Digital Twins, Product Passports and Peer-to-Peer systems for circular construction.Furthermore, you will collaborate closely with researchers from Utrecht University (UU), Delft University of Technology (TUD), Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (RUAS) and a wide range of industry and societal partners.Requirements: You hold a master's degree (or an equivalent university degree) in Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or similar.You have a strong background in Building Information Modelling and/or circular construction.You have experience or interest in working with data handling, semantic data modelling, knowledge representation and linked data technologies.You have knowledge and experience with programming and software development.You have a research-oriented attitude and good communication skills.You have an ability to work in an interdisciplinary team and interested in collaborating with industrial partners.You are motivated to develop your teaching skills and supervise students.You are fluent in spoken and written English (C1 level).Salary Benefits: A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network.
