1. PhD ANTERRA project: Integrated Photonic-RF Front-End
Summary of Doctoral Project:
Our society is on the brink of a new age with the development of new visionary concepts such as internet of things, smart cities, autonomous driving, smart mobility, and coverage everywhere. This stimulates the use of new deployment concepts, such as extreme densification or Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), to support the wireless communication evolution. For 6G, a key use case which stands unaddressed by prior telecommunication generations, is that of coverage everywhere. One of the major reasons for not addressing this use case thus far is the lack of expertise about non-terrestrial communication in the classical (terrestrial) telecommunication industry. The European research project ANTERRA addresses this issue by training 15 PhD students on antenna systems for NTN, one of the key aspects to successfully implement coverage everywhere.

2. PhD ANTERRA project: Dynamic high-pathloss doppler-enabled OtA emulator
Summary of Doctoral Project:
In ANTERRA, the research fellows will investigate particular aspects of the system concept. For this, they will take a system view by investigating architectural needs and constraints from which they will develop novel multi-functional high-gain antenna architectures that exhibit a large coverage. Moreover, innovations in energy efficient highly integrated radio front-ends is a key enabler towards more efficient, high performance radio-access hardware for satellite nodes. Research in novel synchronization and beam-finding techniques will lead to stable integration of all network nodes into one global 6G NTN. All concepts will be optimized to meet the requirements of NTN antenna systems. This vacancy concerns the PhD position on a Dynamic high-pathloss doppler-enabled OtA emulator. System test solutions that include the antenna interface do not readily exist. Therefore, this project aims at developing a measurement solution to realistically emulate highly dynamic scenarios for communications.

4. PhD Candidate on “SMEAR – Design of a Soft-Material-Exploring Autonomous Robot”
Summary of Doctoral Project:
State-of-the-art machines to manipulate soft matter —materials that behave as soft solids or liquids, depending on the level of force applied to them, such as sunscreen gels, clay, mayonnaise, tomato sauce— are preprogrammed to execute the same motion endlessly. By itself, the machine has no intelligence, no perception that a soft material must be manipulated, nor can autonomously adapt its plans to change the shape of the material. The intelligence is currently placed in the mind of the developer(s) who built the system and told it how to move. The SMEAR project aims at bringing part of this intelligence and autonomy in manipulating soft matter into the machine, by integrating and improving the latest available perception technologies in the domain of computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) with “traditional” state-of-the-art model-based engineering techniques, with the goal of designing a prototype robotic system for autonomous manipulation of soft matter.

5. PhD on integrated data and knowledge driven modeling of high-dimensional data
Summary of Doctoral Project:
Data driven modeling is widely used for optimizing modern digital systems, addressing our inability to model these systems from first principles due to their complexity and the high dimensional data they generate. However, the data driven models often contain millions of parameters, making it difficult to understand their behavior and to trust their output. Moreover, they require large amounts of labeled data, which is not always available. There are data driven approaches targeting these challenges (e.g. surrogate modeling or unsupervised learning), but they are often limited in their application. Knowledge driven approaches, on the other hand, are often explainable and can leverage expert knowledge to deal with few labeled samples, but struggle with noisy and high dimensional data. We are looking for candidates that would like to explore integrating data driven with knowledge driven modeling to provide trustworthy modeling of high dimensional data.

8. PhD position Physics of fluids jetting
Summary of Doctoral Project:
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.

9. PhD studentship on nanophotonic lab-on-fiber sensing
Summary of Doctoral Project:
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. Our group has recently demonstrated a method to fabricate sensors and photonic circuits on a semiconductor wafer and transfer them to a fiber tip. This allows harnessing the power of integrated photonics to build complex sensing structures on fiber tips and opens the way to a new generation of fiber sensors.

11. Two PhD on Materials Modelling for Making Perfect Halide Perovskites
Summary of Doctoral Project:
Halide perovskites, a novel class of semiconductors, caused a stir in the field of optoelectronics because of their exceptional performance in efficient and low-cost solar cells. They are typically synthesized via a facile solution-based process, offering wide tunability in compositions and dimensions. However, the very properties that render them so attractive also make controlling the microstructure and the quality of the films challenging. More importantly, the stability issues, the major obstacle for large-scale deployment, are highly sensitive to the atomistic details of the microstructure. To tackle this challenge, we are looking for two PhD candidates, who will focus on the development of a bottom-up multiscale computational framework that combines atomistic quantum mechanical calculations, reactive molecular simulations and advanced rare event algorithms. This new approach will allow full spatiotemporal understanding of each step during perovskite nucleation and crystal growth. The research effort will contribute to perfecting perovskites by designing processing parameters and thereby speeding up their large-scale applications.

Metamaterials owe their name to unprecedented effective behavior that typically cannot be found in natural materials, such as being ultra-stiff & ultra-light, having auxetic behavior, or negative compressibility. Such behavior typically emerges from metamaterials’ micro-structural morphology rather than from the properties of individual material constituents. Recent trends in metamaterial design aim at their actuation, using, e.g., discrete mechanical, pneumatic, thermal, chemical, or electromagnetic actuation. Metamaterials thus offer a significant design space, which can be exploited in numerous engineering applications such as artificial muscles, medical robotics including minimum invasive surgery, bio-implants, soft robotics, or self-folding systems.

19. PhD and Postdoctoral fellow positions for advanced materials for soft robotics
Summary of Doctoral Project:
Soft robotics is a relatively new subfield of robotics that deals with constructing robotic functions from compliant materials. Soft technologies and integrated soft systems can revolutionize the use of robotic devices, for instance in applications where elastic versatility and safe human/machine interactions are needed. It is predicted, and certainly has the potential, to lead to the development of radically new generations of machines. The examples are numerous. In the medical world, they will increasingly assist surgery, in-vivo therapeutic treatments or contribute to the rehabilitation of disabilities by exoskeletons. Soft robotic functions have the perspective to enhance the communication between man and machine or between machines mutually. We foresee that we can make materials that can feel, sense, behave and act as human skins, but with enhanced sensitivity and accuracy. They can be used as stand-alone and autonomous devices, but also be applied as coating or integrated with electronics or even with biological material to perform functions not accessible otherwise. And as a long-term perspective one can foresee the development of evolutionary self-developing soft robotics following nature’s approach to intelligent soft machines.

22. PhD in Quantum Simulation Experiments with Trapped ions and ultracold atoms
Summary of Doctoral Project:
Interacting (many-body) systems are ubiquitous in Nature, yet the universality in their building blocks enables us to simulate and study them using scale models in the laboratory. Trapped ions and ultracold neutral quantum gases are among the key platforms that facilitate this analog quantum simulation. However, to fully benefit from combining these fields and creating a hybrid ion-atom system, it is essential to understand, characterize, and control the interactions between the atoms and ions. Our experiments focus on this exploration and on using this knowledge to enhance our understanding of quantum chemistry, cold molecules, impurity physics, and quantum simulation of many-body systems. Hybrid ion-atom systems benefit both from the spatial localization and addressability of the ions as well as the long coherence times and scalability of the atoms. In this PhD project, you will work in an AMO laboratory and build a new experimental setup that combines trapped ions with ultracold atoms. The goal is to study the interactions between a trapped ion impurity and an ultracold gas of atoms. The work will involve designing the ultra-high vacuum setup, setting up optics, lasers and electronics as well as, programming, scientific reporting and data measuring and analysis. You will work in an international team with one other PhD Students and the principal investigator.
