PhD position summary/title: PhD candidate Advancing Space Weather Predictability
Space weather, similar to weather on Earth, has a significant effect on infrastructure in space and on Earth. For example, solar storms may obstruct radio communication on Earth and space. Severe space weather events may even lead to failures of the electric grid, causing significant economic damage and posing a threat to societal stability. As weather forecasts on Earth, space weather forecasts may help to mitigate and prepare for such space weather events. Recently, the use of machine learning for improved space weather forecasting has gained in importance.
The Luxembourg-based company Mission Space and SnT, University of Luxembourg are joining forces to develop a space weather center of excellence. The first building block is to improve the accuracy of space weather forecasting using a combination of existing space weather models and data collected in space. For the latter, Mission Space will soon launch a dedicated satellite constellation for acquiring space weather data in space.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral candidate (PhD student) in the field of soft matter physics applied in robotics
You will be a member of the ESMP group at DPhyMS, FSTM, working under the supervision of the group leader Jan Lagerwall in close collaboration with the Automation & Robotics Research Group (ARG), led by Holger Voos, at the UL Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT). You will be refining our recent method for making Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomer (CLCE) sheets and fibres, adding new shapes like hollow spheres and tori and integrating them in strain and force sensing set-ups based on the mechanochromic response of CLCEs, i.e., their colour changes predictably and reversibly in response to mechanical strain. You will then incorporate the sensors in soft robotic arms and grippers mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), enabling real-time monitoring of the operation of the UAV as it manipulates objects using the arm/gripper. Your tasks range from preparation of CLCEs in unconventional shapes and large size, to the development of electronic set-ups (based on, e.g., Arduino or Raspberry Pi) for illuminating and optically monitoring each CLCE, to writing code (e.g. Python) for real-time translation of the optical signals into strain and force data to be sent to the robot. To achieve this and to integrate the sensors in the UAVs, you will be working in close collaboration with two PhD candidates from ARG. While being rooted in soft matter physics/chemistry and photonics, your part of the project thus branches into mechanical, computer and robotics engineering.

PhD position summary/title: Ph.D. position on phase-field damage modelling of rubber under cyclic loading in Luxembourg
The mechanical behaviour of rubber depends on numerous phenomena. It depends amongst others on the temperature, the surrounding medium, the radiation exposure, the deformation and the deformation rate. For appropriate descriptions, such quantities must not only be known in the present, the entire history of many of these quantities is required.
The ultimate goal of this project is to predict the fatigue life of elastomers when exposed to different temperature profiles. To this end, a phase-field damage model is to be formulated and implemented. Experimental data is to be collected to formulate the model and to identify its parameters. Because of the simulation times associated with fatigue life predictions under cyclic loading, a numerical procedure is to formulated and implemented to accelerate the simulations.

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.

PhD position summary/title: Ph.D. position in secure and privacy
The position is linked to INVISIMARK, a multidisciplinary research project carried out by three research groups: (a) the Interdisciplinary Research in Sociotechnical Cybersecurity (IRiSC), led by Prof. Gabriele Lenzini; (b) the Experimental Soft Matter Physics (ESMP) led by Prof. Jan Lagerwall, and (c) the Automation & Robotics Group (ARG), led by Prof. Holger Voos.
The project is about a new generation of fiducial markers (as those used in robotics and Augmented Reality to encode information about objects on which they are applied), designed to carry encrypted messages interpretable only by authorized parties. The markers are made using polymerized Cholesteric liquid crystal Spherical selective Retroreflectors (CSRs), allowing them to be invisible to humans while easy to detect by machine vision.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral Researcher in Psychology
The doctoral researcher will conduct research under the guidance of a supervisory team including local and international experts, with the aim of studying towards a doctoral degree (cumulative; i.e., based on peer-reviewed publications) in Psychology. The doctoral researcher will develop a test battery to evaluate language development and diagnose specific language disorders in Luxembourgish adapted to the linguistically heterogenous Luxembourgish school context (i.e. diverse language and cultural backgrounds). In close collaboration with the national competence center “Centre de Logopédie”, the doctoral researcher will develop a new testing battery in Luxembourgish to be used for diagnostic screening purposes for children (age 5 to 6). This PhD project is embedded in a larger project concerning language test development for children in Cycle 1 (Kindergarten). The PhD candidate will be part of the LUCET diagnostic test development team.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral researcher (PhD candidate) in Computer Science
The proposed PhD project will be a continuation of research done by Jim Barthel in computational number theory and public key cryptography in the context of the PRIDE project. A possible research starting point for this PhD project is the practical evaluation of a combination of graph-based techniques with number-theoretic problems like the “simultaneous Chinese Remainder Theorem” or integer factorisation and generalizations thereof, especially practical evaluations of possible algorithms for the “Decisional Simultaneous Chinese Remaindering” problem is of interest. Suggestions for other interesting research topics in computational number theory or public key cryptography can also be discussed.
