PhD position summary/title: PhD Position PRE-MADONA: Generative Design of Mass Energy Renovation Projects
Transitioning to renovation flows demands the development of a set of support tools that can leverage a wealth of available and to-be-collected data to support mass renovation projects. Depending on how the process is initiated, these tools should support clustering similar houses (e.g., in terms of location, morphology, surrounding environment, access to energy grid, etc.) that would be suitable for the implementation of standardised renovation solutions from different perspectives (suppliers, clients, housing associations, etc.). Additionally, a generative design approach needs to be developed to rapidly design globally optimal (e.g., cost, feasibility, contribution to energy efficiency, resource availability, and potential for mass execution) solutions for different clusters.
In this project, we aim to develop supporting tools for the clustering and generative design of energy renovation projects in order to accelerate the transition to the renovation flow.
You will be part of a team comprising three PhD researchers who are dedicated to the PRE-MADONA project. Together, you work in a multidisciplinary project with through leaders in the domain of digitalisation and energy renovation. You will learn to conduct research independently and grow scientifically through collaboration and supervision by researchers from Saxion and Hanze Universities of Applied Science, supervisors from the Construction Management Engineering cluster at the University of Twente, and a strong network of industry partners in the Dutch construction sector.

PhD position summary/title: PhD positie Coeliakie@home: zorg op afstand voor kinderen met (een vermoeden van) coeliakie
Ben jij geïnteresseerd in transformatie van zorg, en dan specifiek gericht op kinderen met coeliakie? De vakgroep Health Technology and Services Research binnen de faculteit Behavioural Management and Social Sciences, en Rijnstate Ziekenhuis Arnhem, hebben een promotieplaats beschikbaar. De promotie richt zich op het inrichten van zorg op afstand (dichtbij de patiënt) voor kinderen met (een vermoeden op) coeliakie, en op screening van broers en zussen. Het onderzoek wordt gefinancierd door ZonMW vanuit het programma Medisch Specialistische Zorg en Onderzoek, Passende en doelmatige zorg.
Coeliakie is een auto-immuun darmziekte die wereldwijd voorkomt en behandeld wordt met een ingrijpend glutenvrij dieet. Kinderen met coeliakie worden vanwege mogelijke complicaties regelmatig gezien door hun kinderarts, echter zonder vaste richtlijn wat leidt tot variatie in zorg. In dit promotieonderzoek zullen we met kinderen, ouders, de patiëntenvereniging en zorgverleners, zorg op afstand ontwikkelen om gelijke zorg voor iedereen te bieden. Daarnaast willen we de ziekte opsporen bij broers en zussen, omdat zij meer kans hebben op coeliakie. Door inzet van zorg op afstand bij deze kinderen, willen we de toegang tot screening verbeteren, de ziekte in een vroeg stadium detecteren en toekomstige complicaties bij hen voorkomen.
Je gaat samenwerken in een interdisciplinair samenwerkingsverband tussen de Universiteit Twente (UT) en Rijnstate ziekenhuis Arnhem. Door het land verspreid werken 10 verschillende ziekenhuizen mee. Het dagelijks onderzoeksteam bestaat uit een onderzoeksverpleegkundige en een senior onderzoeker. Deze worden ondersteund door een kinderarts-MDL en een klinisch epidemioloog.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position on Stochastic geometric numerical methods
Are you passionate about developing cutting-edge numerical algorithms at the intersection of geometry, stochastic analysis, and high-performance simulations? We offer a challenging PhD position in the Mathematics of Computational Science group to design and analyse novel structure-preserving methods for stochastic dynamical systems, with applications ranging from plasma physics and molecular dynamics to advanced simulations for sustainable energy research.
We are looking for a motivated and ambitious PhD candidate to join the Mathematics of Computational Science (MACS) group within the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Twente.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position on the design and fabrication of MEMS drag force-based flow and fluid composition sensors
In this project, we will combine well-known thermal flow sensing principles with micromachined mechanical sensors that measure the flow through the bending or displacement of a mechanical structure. In this way, we expect that, in addition to mass flow, many relevant gas parameters can be measured, such as thermal conductivity, density, specific heat, and dynamic viscosity.
For the measurement of gas flows, (micromachined) thermal flow sensors are often used because of their high sensitivity, low pressure drop, and relatively straightforward operating principle. However, their response is dependent on the properties of the fluid, especially the thermal conductivity and heat capacity. Micromachined mechanical flow sensors, based on bending or moving microstructures, have been primarily used for specific applications, such as measuring turbulence, where small and fast sensor elements are required. However, their response is dependent on the viscosity and density of the gas. The combination of thermal and mechanical sensing elements in a single device will reveal valuable information on the gas properties and, therefore, on the composition of the gas.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position: Enabling Membrane-Based Industrial Effluent Reuse using Model Predictive Control
The Netherlands is a water-scarce country. We therefore need to focus on circular reuse of water within industrial and drinking water settings, and minimizing energy and water footprints in separation processes. Although membrane separations are mature and energy-efficient processes, widespread adoption of this technology for industrial wastewater reuse has not been achieved yet. A major reason is the highly variable nature of industrial wastewater. For that reason, together with our industrial partners Jotem Water Solutions and Waterstromen, we have defined the SMARTIER project: Scalable Membrane-based Adaptive Recycling Technology (SMART) for Industrial Effluent Reuse (IER).
Within the SMARTIER project, we aim to develop the tools and know-how to enable robust and economical recycling and reuse of industrial effluent using membrane technology (ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis). We intend to do this by combining fundamental know-how relating to membranes, transport phenomena and interface science (UT) with the practical experience in building (Jotem Water Solutions) and operating (Waterstromen) membrane-based wastewater treatment plants.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position on the pilot scale production of hollow fiber membranes and prototype dialyzers for improved dialysis therapy.
Most patients with kidney failure receive dialysis therapy, because of a donor organ shortage. Unfortunately, current filters cannot remove all toxins from patients’ blood, especially protein-bound uremic toxins, leading to high mortality and poor quality of life. Moreover, dialysis therapy requires lots of water.
This research project aims to establish pilot scale production of hollow fiber membranes and prototype dialyzers for improved dialysis therapy.
As PhD researcher you will work within a multidisciplinary project which unites expertise from various fields, aiming to improve the quality of life for people in need of organ replacement. It is therefore essential to show willingness to look beyond disciplinary boundaries.
The project is funded by the NXTGEN Biomed growth fund project on artificial organs.
NXTGEN aims to develop and produce smart and responsive extracorporeal and implantable artificial organs. To achieve this, it pioneers advanced high-tech building blocks that can be produced both reliably and affordably.
