PhD position summary/title: PhD Position Basin-scale geology of the Paleozoic of the south-eastern Netherlands and surroundings
The PhD project we offer focusses on the geology of the Paleozoic (Devonian-Caroniferous) rock succession in South Limburg, the Netherlands and neighbouring countries. The project aims to considerably improve the understanding and (hydrostratigraphic) characterization of the subsurface, to produce an improved 3D geological model focussed on Paleozoic stratigraphy, structural setting and (hydrostratigraphic) rock properties. This will be done by collating and using legacy data and producing new data, which will be integrated into a comprehensive geological model. Legacy data comes from various sources and will be collected in collaboration and consultation with specialists in each field. New data include seismic 2D lines and data from the new tTEM system, a ground-based method for electromagnetic data acquisition that allows for very efficient ground-penetrating surveys to identify faults and other geological structures. Moreover, new smart boreholes are planned within the project targeting key lithological transitions to validate the geological interpretation of seismic lines, which are key to building the geological model. Existing boreholes and new boreholes will be sampled for age determination and rock physical properties to populate the geological model. Distributed Acoustic and Strain Sensing cables will be implemented in legacy and new boreholes to measure static and dynamic rock strains. If feasible, these systems may further be used in tunnels and outcrops. Last, noise interferometry will be applied in collaboration with KNMI on continuous seismic recordings.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position ERC ViSioN: Virus Spread in Networks
The project “Virus Spread in Networks” (ViSioN) is funded by ERC as an Advanced Grant 2020. ViSioN starts from a Network Science view on virus spread in networks in which the duality between the virus transmission process and the contact graph is key. The devastating Corona crisis reveals two major shortcomings in traditional epidemiology. First, it ignores the human contact graph and implicitly assumes a homogeneous population without specific graph structure. Second, most models for the virus spreading process relate to a Markovian setting, with exponential infection and curing times, leading to an exponential decay of the epidemic. Measurements, however, point to significantly different infection and curing time distributions. In addition, digital technology can help in constructing the contact graph and combined with medical testing, all infected can be detected. ViSioN aims to develop the theory of non-Markovian epidemic process on networks, a surprisingly missing element today, because non-Markovian theory is needed to tell, based on the characteristic infection and curing times of the virus, how long a pandemic will last and when the peak occurs. Next, ViSioN will combine all available measurement technologies to construct the best possible contact graph via temporal networking or adaptive networking. Finally, ViSioN will explore how accurately infections can be predicted under partial information of process and contact graph.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in experimental wind farm control
In wind farms the wind turbines operate on an individual level, therefore each wind turbine optimizes its own power production, resulting in sub-optimal power output at wind farm level due to the wake effect. Within academia, novel actuation strategies are investigated that have a positive effect on wake mixing, and thus reducing the overall wake losses within wind farms. On the 15th of November 2019, the HELIX concept for wind farm flow control was introduced by the TU Delft. In this concept, novel actuation techniques using individual pitch control (IPC) are employed to significantly enhance wake mixing

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position Navigational Integrity for Autonomous Surface Ships
In this research project, Navigational Integrity for Autonomous Surface Ships, there is a PhD position for four years. Safety expressed in terms of accuracy, availability, continuity and integrity are among the key criteria for all autonomous systems. A big challenge for the future autonomous surface ships technology is to show that an unmanned system is at least as safe as a manned one. This problem includes a few elements such as avoidance of collisions with other ships and obstacles, safe ship navigation, and their real-time monitoring depending on weather conditions such as wave height, wind speed, wind direction and wave period. Integration of a series of on-board sensors and external factors are key elements of safe navigation. Among them the GNSS systems working in different setups such as D-GNSS, SBAS, NRTK, assisted GNSS and signals of opportunity, combined with other sensors such as magnetometer, acoustic, gyro, inertial, radar, laser and optical sensors along with integrated ocean observing systems (IOOS) can provide valuable source of information.

PhD position summary/title: PhD: High Reynolds number flows for wind turbines
The main objective of this project is to study the aerodynamic performance of airfoils at representative Reynolds numbers for modern wind turbines. The study will be initiated by an experimental campaign in the low turbulence wind tunnel at TU Delft, regularly used for this purpose. The pressure distribution, lift and drag of airfoils in different operational states (both clean and rough, steady and unsteady) will be obtained at medium Reynolds numbers, to gain insight in the behaviour and important parameters. The experimental campaign will be completed using a unique pressurized wind tunnel to provide novel data at ultra-high Reynolds numbers for a few selected interesting cases. The second part of this project will evolve towards understanding the physics of high Reynolds number flows and its role on the performance and load assessment of wind turbines. The limitations and applicability of the existing state-of-the-art (low-order) tools will be evaluated. Finally guidelines will be defined on how to incorporate high Reynolds number effects into the design process

PhD position summary/title: PhD position Safe and Efficient Traffic of Connected Vulnerable Bicyclists and Automated Vehicles
Transportation of the future will include a mixture of automated vehicles (AVs) and vulnerable road users (VRUs), like bicyclists and pedestrians. Unregulated mixing of automated vehicles into urban areas has the potential to cause a rise in transportation related death and injury. This mixing also exacerbates safety concerns for vulnerable road users. Current VRU detection and its associated trajectory planning are based on information that is collected solely from AV sensors which is not sufficient to accurately predict the near-future behavior of vulnerable road users. We want to validate the hypothesis that digital information sharing among all road users combined with physiologically and dynamically realistic predictive models can guarantee overall safety. Our project goal is to achieve safe and socially acceptable interactions among automated vehicles and vulnerable bicyclists in dense urban environments by leveraging information shared in a two-way vehicle↔bicycle (V2B/B2V) communication system.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position Origami-based Flexible Architected Materials for High-Tech Equipment
The semiconductor industry expectations for lithography machine performance demand ever-increasing capabilities, such as throughput, lifetime, cleanliness, sustainability, and precision for mechatronic systems. One of the key construction elements in high-tech mechatronic systems is flexible (i.e. compliant) mechanisms. Unlike their rigid-body counterparts, they allow motion in the desired directions enabled by their slender parts which deform elastically. Due to their monolithic nature, cleanliness, and predictability, they are desired in precision applications. Despite these advantages, flexible mechanisms are one of the main road blockers for high-tech mechatronic systems to achieve higher throughput, i.e. higher process speed and acceleration. This is due to their inherent drawbacks such as limited range of motion for a given design volume and low load bearing capacity (i.e. support stiffness).

PhD position summary/title: PhD The design, building, testing and integration of a highly efficient, miniaturized space qualified RF chain for driving AOTFs during space-missions
TU Delft is looking for an ambitious PhD candidate to work at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, within the Space Systems Engineering section. The PhD candidate will contribute to the development of future miniaturized space-based instrumentation, used for remote sensing. Remote sensing from space is frequently used to obtain details about the Earth’s surface. This technique enables a periodic observation (imaging) of aspects related to hydrography, agriculture, geology, mineralogy and land use. The use of Acousto-Optical Tunable Filters (AOTFs) for spectral imaging/optical wavelength selection offers many advantages compared to other techniques, such as a good spectral resolution, excellent robustness and compactness. Past, current and future scientific (ESA) space missions make use of this device for observations in different optical wavelength domains. AOTFs are made of different types of material, depending on the optical wavelength domain in which they need to filter. Especially in the Ultra-Violet, no dedicated efficient space-qualified AOTF exists yet. The PhD candidate is encouraged to explore this new field, assess the requirements and to assist in the further strengthening of collaborations between different partners.

PhD position summary/title: PhD: 3D Unsteady CFD model for Multi-Rotor Multi-Body Fluid Structure Interaction
The main objective behind this project is to develop a 3D Hybrid solver implemented in OpenFOAM purposed for lift-driven aerodynamics such as in wind energy and aircraft. More specifically, this PhD project focuses on the addition of fluid-structure interaction capability by introducing a combination of domain deformation and partitioned fluid-structure coupling methods. In a region close to solid boundaries the flow, the full Navier-Stokes equations are solved on a deforming (meshed) domain and coupled to a structure dynamics model (possibly with an arbitrary turbulence model or DNS, the limitations being the computational power and the physical properties of the flow); outside of that region, the flow is solved with a Lagrangian (meshless) vortex particle method. In this hybrid approach, the complexity and size of the deforming mesh problem is substantially reduced as it is only required for a small domain close to the body. Also, interaction between different bodies moving in each other’s vicinity is facilitated through the Lagrangian (meshless) vortex particle.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position AshCycle – Turn waste-ashes to resource via structural concrete
In this project you are expected to work in a large EU consortium AshCycle which deals with integration of underutilized ashes into material cycles by industry-urban symbiosis. The incineration of biomass, municipal solid waste and sewage sludge produces significant quantities of ashes in the EU: approximately 25 million tons annually. These residues have currently no use or they are utilized only in low-value applications. Major problems with the use of incineration residues in the construction, water treatment, and other industries are insufficient public awareness of the safety and environmental acceptability of the final products , the lack of uniform regulations, and readiness of the market to accept incineration residues as a supplementary material. The project AshCycle with 28 European partners will demonstrate and implement industry urban symbioses revolving around the underutilized ashes to reach circular and climate neutral economy in Europe. Pilots and replication demonstrations will be carried out in Denmark, Finland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Croatia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and South Africa.
