4. PhD Position in nanophotonic lab-on-fiber sensing
Summary of PhD Program:
Optical fibers carry optical signals over large distances and are widely used for communications. They are also increasingly used for sensing, as they allow gathering information from environments which are far or hard to reach (from arteries to dikes). Fiber sensors are compact, minimally-invasive and potentially inexpensive. However, the applications have so far mostly be limited to temperature and pressure/strain sensing. By building a sensor on the tip of the fiber and properly functionalizing it, it is in principle possible to sense all physical, chemical and biological properties of the environment, turning the fiber into a powerful sensing instrument. This “lab-on-fiber” technology has so far been hampered by the difficulty of realizing the sensors on the tiny fiber tips.

5. PhD Position in Smart and analyzable scheduling solutions for real-time systems
Summary of PhD Program:
The project focuses on designing analyzable machine-learning (ML) based scheduling solutions for real-time systems (i.e., systems that require both functional and temporal correctness). What makes this project distinct from the existing learning-based scheduling solutions is that it focuses on the analyzability of the solution so that the result can be used in safety-critical real-time systems, where the end-to-end worst-case response time (WCRT) of each system functionality must be smaller than its deadline to ensure the system’s safety.

10. PhD Position in Electro-osmotic drying of diluted biomass streams
Summary of PhD Program:
This project is part of a large Dutch academic-industrial research program entitled ELECTRIFIED. Its aims is to develop key enabling technologies and consists of multiple PhD and PD research projects. The main objective of this ELECTRIFIED research program is to develop and explore electrically driven dewatering technologies for the food and biobased industry. Drying alone represents almost 25% of all energy used in the processing industry. Sustainable food and biobased processing can only be realized by replacing our current evaporative dewatering processes by processes using more effective driving forces such as electricity. ELECTRIFIED uses such electric driving forces to extract water from biomaterials. This is done by making use of a combination of molecularly designed electroresponsive hydrogels, well-controlled electro-osmosis and electrohydrodynamic drying in diluted, semi solid and solid regimes.

15. Two PhD Position in Neuromorphic Computing with Oscillatory Neural Networks
Summary of PhD Program:
In recent years, we have witnessed an explosion of artificial intelligence (AI) applications which will continue to grow over the next decade. An intelligent and digitized society will be ubiquitous, enabled by increased advances in nanoelectronics. Key drivers will be sensors interfacing with the physical world and taking appropriate action in a timely manner while operating with energy efficiency and flexibility to adapt. The vast majority of sensors receive analog inputs from the real world and generate analog signals to be processed. However, digitizing these signals not only creates enormous amount of raw data but also require a lot of memory and high-power consumption. As the number of sensor-based IoTs grows, bandwidth limitations make it difficult to send everything back to a cloud rapidly enough for real-time processing and decision-making, especially for delay-sensitive applications such as driverless vehicles, robotics, or industrial manufacturing.

22. PhD Position in Physics of fluids jetting
Summary of PhD Program:
In piezo-acoustic ink-jet print heads, a voltage pulse, applied to the piezoelectric element, induces a deformation of the print head channel creating a pressure wave in the ink, ultimately responsible for the ejection of ink droplets out of the nozzle [1]. Given the extreme accuracy achieved by modern inkjet printers, technological advancement requires a thorough physical understanding of the droplet generation mechanisms and of the subsequent droplet formation process. This project will investigate key physical aspects beyond the formation of inkjet droplets and the influence of physical effects that may interfere with this process [2]. The project will be conducted in close collaboration with Canon Production Printing Netherlands B.V. and in the framework of a larger network of PhD students investigating -with different techniques- several aspects at the basis of ink-jet printing technologies.

27. PhD Position in Modelling and Simulation of nanotube-based profiling
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD position aims to understand the nonlinear dynamics that drive the probe motion in the neighbourhood 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, a 3D force model of the probe tip in the vicinity of the sample will be developed.
