Delft, Nederland TNO Voltijd

About this position

There are major challenges in the technical industry waiting to be solved in the coming years. Think about the structural safety of structures; climate adaptation; renovation and replacement of infrastructure; the energy transition; material re-use; offshore constructions; and digitalisation. For example, the effect of increasing traffic intensity and vehicle loads on current, sometimes outdated infrastructure, new types of fuels for shipping and the effects on the integrity of the structure, the effect of the energy transition on the way we deal with sustainability in the design or re-use of structural elements or materials, or the design of increasingly larger offshore wind turbines. These are major social issues that TNO does not shy away from, but rather tackles them by combining many different areas of expertise in in-depth, independent research. This way TNO is at the basis of the implementation of technological innovations.

What will be your role?

In your thesis project you will be focussing on end of life rule checking for supporting prioritization of Replacement and Renovation Decision Making of Rijkswaterstaat through knowledge graphs

This topic is providing a digital solution to tackle four challenges: Ageing Infrastructure, Missing Overview of Large Population of Infrastructure Objects in relation to their object-type-specific failure mechanisms, Scattered data and limited utilization and understanding of technical data to strategic asset management, Limited re-use of existing experiences and knowledge on past failures.

The solution we work towards is creating a Rule-Based Model that is based on knowledge graphs. There are system components such as schemas, instantiation, rule-sets, rule-checking and visualization. Schemas include ontology design to capture semantic domain knowledge as well as linking and re-using existing ontologies. Schemas will be used for automatic instantiation of objects with open-source framework such as Apache Jena or RDF Lib. Rule-sets will be based on SPARQL, SHACL will be used for rule prototyping, and a GraphDB will be used for rule checking and visualization. Any experience with the abovementioned topics and also with UI connected to GraphDBs is additionally appreciated.

What we expect from you

We offer a graduation position to students that:

Follow a master program in STEM such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, architecture, (applied) physics or mathematics, computer science, or similar. Have an investigative and critical attitude, you want to know why certain phenomena occur and determine its effect. Like to cooperate with others and are creative. Live in The Netherlands. Have excellent oral and written communication skills in English, and preferably Dutch language (B1 level).


Of course, for each topic described above we may expect additional knowledge and skills depending on the research topic.
