In your project, you will not only engineer these enzymes at an unprecedented rate and scale, but also map their fitness landscapes.
Your research will focus on continuous evolution, an umbrella term for approaches that achieve cycles of rapid mutation, selection and amplification inside living cells. By minimizing human intervention and enabling parallelization, continuous evolution approaches can autonomously explore longer and more numerous evolutionary trajectories. In your project, you will initially construct, automate, and apply a continuous evolution platform to autonomously engineer enzyme that perform sought-after C-C, C-halogen, or C-N bond-forming reactions. In the last part of the project, you will make use of third-generation sequencing techniques and bioinformatics tools to map the sequence-structure-function relationships of these biocatalysts.

PhD position summary/title: Promovendus/PhD Welzijn van leraren en leerlingen in het speciaal onderwijs en professionalisering (V24.0027)
Goed opgeleide, competente leraren die zich voor langere tijd aan een school verbinden zijn een onmisbare basis voor alle leerlingen, in het bijzonder leerlingen met extra ondersteuningsbehoeften. Voor zowel leraren als leerlingen is externaliserende problematiek echter een belangrijke stressfactor die daarmee indirect bijdraagt aan het lerarentekort. Hoe kunnen leraren beter leren inspelen op deze complexe problematiek? In dit onderzoek wordt een interventie onderzocht die in en voor het speciaal onderwijs is ontwikkeld – de ABC-methodiek. Leraren worden geschoold in de oorzaken van externaliserend gedrag en reflecteren op hun eigen handelen door intervisie gericht op concrete gebeurtenissen in hun eigen klas. Het doel van het onderzoek is beter begrijpen of en hoe deze interventie werkt op individueel, klas- en schoolniveau, in eerste instantie in het speciaal onderwijs en in een later stadium ook in het regulier primair onderwijs.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Knowledge-Infused AI for Human-Technology Integration (V24.0004)
Synergies between humans and AI-enabled systems are relevant in situations involving complex and high-stakes decision making. The effective integration of humans and AI can be based on knowledge representations in the form of ontologies and knowledge graphs, while neuro-symbolic learning can be a powerful mechanism to drive knowledge-infused machine learning. The incorporation of domain knowledge is hardly achievable without the collaboration of multi-stakeholder teams, and therefore a co-creative and evaluative approach to shaping Knowledge-Infused Artificial Intelligence is needed. Your research will therefore be expected to take a multidisciplinary perspective, including both contributions in linked data and knowledge-driven AI, as well as in effective multi-stakeholder co-creative and evaluative approaches to harness domain-relevant expertise and knowledge. Pilot project-use cases will feed into the study and will offer a rich testbed for the validation of the developed approaches. The research will be carried out within the European research project HumAIne https://humaine-horizon.eu: Hybrid Human-AI Decision Support for Enhanced Human Empowerment in Dynamic Situations. The project will provide novel solutions for collective intelligence (including Active, Neuro-symbolic, and Swarm Learning) for decision making and human empowerment for manufacturing, smart cities, healthcare, finance, and energy.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position on Human-Centred Digital Twins in Industrial Work Environments (V24.0003)
Digital twins enjoy significant take-up in a wide range of industries and application domains. The live coupling of the physical and digital worlds in digital twins targets the near real time operation and control of physical systems, in a form of mixed physical-digital-human system. Recent research has targeted the development of Human-Centred Digital Twins, as the Digital Twinning of physical and digital entities in socio-technical systems, but with clear emphasis on the actual role, contribution, and benefit of the human operator. A human – centred Digital Twin would be more effective if it achieves a cognitive coupling between humans and machines. A starting point for such coupling is to develop context models for situation awareness. Overall, your project will research requirements, methods, tools, and their application in project uses cases, resulting in a proposed framework for sliding work sharing between human and non-human actors, which would be a significant enhancement over currently available Digital Twins. The research will be carried out within the European research project AI4Work: Human-centric Digital Twin Approaches to Trustworthy AI and Robotics for Improved Working Conditions.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position Dynamic analysis and human vibration perception of hand held (V23.0732)
We are looking for a candidate to undertake research in the field of dynamics and vibration, with a particular focus on dynamic analysis and modelling of in hand vibrations of consumer products. This project is in collaboration with Philips.
The aim of this project is to analyse the vibrations transmitted by consumer products to their hands in order to improve their perception. An accurate model of the product dynamics coupled to hand can provide us with predictions on how the vibrations are perceived by the consumers. These predictions from the models can be made at an early stage before any prototypes are made. If unpleasant human perception being predicted, then the vibration levels can be reduced by design modification for healthy products.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position in Predictive Maintenance (V23.0730)
We are looking for a candidate to undertake research in the field of dynamics and vibration, with a particular focus on predictive maintenance of engineering structures.
To support the modern, robust and smart factories, it is critical that breakdown maintenance is reduced to a minimum and the management is allowed to have the luxury of a pre-planned scheduled maintenance. To accomplish this, predictive maintenance is required, which can accurately track assets’ performance, status and real time health condition using real-time vibration data. In recent era, the use of machine health and condition monitoring technologies in predictive maintenance practices has escalated owing to the interest from major industries like manufacturing, aerospace and civil, for which reliability in operations is a crucial factor. For reliable monitoring and diagnosis of machines, vibration analysis is carried out in order to anticipate the defects and degradations that can affect the performance of a machine. Predictive maintenance requires online and real time indicators of a machine’s status and health using instrumentation and control equipment for data acquisition and analysis. In this project, we will acquire vibration data using sensors, data acquisition on an engineering system. We will analyze both time domain and frequency domain data to predict the health of the structure in different operating conditions. This vibration data will be effectively utilized to assist in devising a predictive maintenance plan and to reach the root cause of these issues up to the source component. Finally, timely maintenance strategy will be pursued in order to avoid breakdown maintenance.
