Delft, Zuid-Holland, Nederland Delft University of Technology Voltijd

Enable ultrasonic welding of composites through data-driven approaches
Job description

We aim to advance the integration and joining of thermoplastics composites with a concerted effort of several researchers contributing towards a new approach to fusion bonding, combining process and performance optimization by simulations of physical phenomena and process monitoring using artificial intelligence. This postdoc will explore

novel approaches in monitoring of ultrasonic welding through a multisensor approach feeding from the air coupled acoustic characteristics, temperature evolution, energy transmission etc., and implement data fusion methods to decipher the evolution of structure-process-property relationship during the ultrasonic welding process.

This position is part of the NWO Perspectief project ENLIGHTEN - Enabling Integrated Lightweight Structures In High Volumes and will contribute to the project through enabling advanced monitoring and control of fusion bonding processes.

Requirements

You must have the following qualifications:

Strong experimental skills related composites manufacturing and instrumentation for testing and/or monitoring.
Background in mechanical/aerospace/civil engineering, materials science, physics or a related field.
Proficiency with machine learning methods and corresponding software packages is a plus.
Experience with ultrasonic welding is a plus.
Fluency in English and proven academic writing skills.
The ability to work well in an interdisciplinary project in a collaborative setting and to interact with stakeholders.

Conditions of employment
Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
