Phd in Data-driven Modelling for Event-based Dynamical Systems

4 dagen geleden


Eindhoven, Nederland TU Eindhoven Voltijd

**Job description**:
Major societal challenges in energy, health, and computing depend on advancements in high-tech mechatronic systems, which rely on numerous sensors and actuators. As these machines become more complex, efficient and sustainable data collection is of paramount importance. Traditional maintenance and control efforts that frequently sample data are highly inefficient in this context and may lack flexibility compared to smart sampling schemes that track occurrences of events in signals and systems. This PhD position will develop a new theoretical framework that combines dynamical system identification with event-based data collection. The proposed methods will enhance how we model, control and maintain high-tech machines, improving performance while optimizing sensor use and computational cost.

You will have the opportunity to investigate cutting-edge topics, including but not limited to, data-driven control, system identification, state estimation, and uncertainty quantification. Your work aims to make a significant impact on the high-tech mechatronics sector in the Brainport region in the Netherlands, collaborating with industrial leaders such as ASML, Philips, Canon, and Thermo Fisher, among others.

This PhD position is jointly supervised by Rodrigo A. González and Tom Oomen.

**Job requirements**:

- Strong background in systems and control, statistics, or optimization, with deep interest in solving fundamental problems in the intersection of these fields.
- Ability to balance theoretical work with applied work, taking ownership of the research project.
- Experience with programming in Matlab or Python.
- Interest in collaborating with an international team of academic and industrial partners.
- Good command of the English language and good communication skills.

**Conditions of employment**:
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:

- Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months. You will spend 10% of your employment on teaching tasks.
- Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the _Collective Labour Agreement_ for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €2,901 max. €3,707).
- A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
- High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
- An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
- An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
