PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Software Engineering – Automations for Multi-Stage, Multi-Step and Concurrent Design of Space Program Architectures (SAMP FNR CORE)
Luxembourg has been successful in creating in a very short time, a space ecosystem with over 60 startups. This has positioned Luxembourg as a global hotspot for established and emerging actors from the international space economy. However, an architecture (high-level design) of Luxembourg’s space program is currently missing.
A space program architecture would support steering the strategy of the Luxembourg space ecosystem but also guiding companies where to position themselves within that ecosystem and goes beyond an individual space mission and usually combines multiple missions in a sequence along with the used systems and technologies. It links strategic objectives (political, economic, societal, environmental, etc.), which are usually high-level (often national) with means to achieve them (systems, technologies, etc.).

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Vision-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping with BIM alignment
The position holder will work under the umbrella of a partnership project Theia with the Luxembourg-based company GAMMA AR, developing a solution for real-time vision-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) of a hand-held tablet on real construction sites (i.e. as-built), with drift-free alignment with existing Building Information Management (BIM) data (i.e. as-planned). This solution will extend our novel Situational Graphs (S-Graphs), concretely our Informed S-Graphs and our Vision-based S-Graphs. Concretely, the main scientific challenges are the (1) vision-based global localization of the hand-held device within BIM (i.e. global alignment between the real construction site and the BIM) when the main structural elements (e.g. walls) are built and there are no major deviations from the BIM. (2) vision-based individual alignment between the main elements of the construction site and BIM, when there are no major deviations. And (3) vision-based global and individual alignment between the construction site and its main elements and BIM in the presence of deviations. The solution will be validated experimentally in real datasets and real construction sites (together with their BIM). On top of this, the solution will be integrated into our ready-to-use robotic platforms to demonstrate its potential use in autonomous robot systems in real-world use cases.

This is a fully funded position for 3 years (extendable to an additional 4th year) within Cosmic Communication Construction project that is to start on 01/01/2024. is an a Luxembourg National Research Found project that intends to build the future of the SnT and Luxembourg’s antennas and propagation industry by researching, designing, simulating, prototyping, and measuring metamaterial antennas and RF components applied to the satellite antenna segment using AM&M techniques. For this, project will be composed of two key pillars: The first comprises researching different metamaterial antennas and RF components like gap-waveguide, metasurfaces, metalenses, and metamaterial phase arrays, to reduce the complexity in the satellite antenna segment in the K-band compared to conventional designs. The complexity reduction comprises compacting the number of antenna and RF sections and connectors. The second involves researching the most suitable AM&M techniques to prototype metamaterial antennas and RF components, to highly reduce the weight of the antenna satellite segment, maintaining the same performance as conventional scenarios. The AM techniques may include Stereolithography (SLA), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and for the metallization, Physical Vapor Deposition (PDV), Chemical Vapor Deposition CDV, Water Transfer Printing (WTP), Spray Painting (SP), electroplating, and electroless plating. The challenges for the prototype requirements comprise integrating all the metamaterial antenna sections, ideally in a single element, which can be successfully manufactured using additive manufacturing with the required resolution to generate cavities, pins, holes, and grooves. Furthermore, depending on the power and frequency requirements, the correct metal thickness proposes another challenge to overcome. Finally, this project will also aim to determine a better AM&M process to prototype satellite antenna segments successfully.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Antenna Design and Prototyping Using Additive Manufacturing
This is an a Luxembourg National Research Found project that intends to build the future of the SnT and Luxembourg’s antennas and propagation industry by researching, designing, simulating, prototyping, and measuring metamaterial antennas and RF components applied to the satellite antenna segment using AM&M techniques.
For this, project will be composed of two key pillars: The first comprises researching different metamaterial antennas and RF components like gap-waveguide, metasurfaces, metalenses, and metamaterial phase arrays, to reduce the complexity in the satellite antenna segment in the K-band compared to conventional designs. The complexity reduction comprises compacting the number of antenna and RF sections and connectors. The second involves researching the most suitable AM&M techniques to prototype metamaterial antennas and RF components, to highly reduce the weight of the antenna satellite segment, maintaining the same performance as conventional scenarios.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral candidate (PhD student) in ultra-reliable and energy-efficient intra-avionic wireless communication systems
The SIGCOM group within the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) has an open Ph.D. position as part of the recently EU granted project AVATAR (digitAl twin for transformatiVe Air vehicle with ioT sensors towards sAfeR skies).
AVATAR project has the goal to create a Digital Twin by continuously monitoring the operation of transformative air vehicles (TAV) through an innovative smart IoT sensing skin, informed by accurate physical models and advanced analytics, resulting in reduced direct operative costs, extended service life and safer skies. In this context, one of the main project axes that will be investigated is the ultra-reliable intra-avionic wireless communication systems. These latter have been hardly adopted in aviation where most intra-avionic connectivity relies on wired technologies. The raison is that current wireless technologies are not able to support the diversified requirements (e.g. reliability, energy efficiency, resilience to interference) for various air vehicle applications.
