PhD student 'PowerSensor'
Detail in (Deadline1 April 2009)
http://www.utwente.nl/vacatures/en/09-039.doc/
The ‘PowerSensor’ project
It is the objective of the PowerSensor project to develop modalities for quantitative assessment of the dynamic interactions between the human body and it’s environment during arbitrary movements using sensing systems on the interface. It involves the development of miniature sensors, sensor configurations and algorithms. The potential of this new method will be demonstrated in representative applications in ergonomics, rehabilitation and sports in close collaboration with selected users.
The Ph.D. student will develop measurement technology and algorithms for signal analysis. He/she will work in the Biomedical Signals and Systems (BSS) chair. The PowerSensor project is performed in collaboration with the Transducers Science and Technology (TST) chair (http://tst.ewi.utwente.nl/)
PhD student Dependability Critical Infrastructures
Detail in (Deadline 18 March 2009)
http://www.utwente.nl/vacatures/en/09-041eng.doc/
The project is a joint project in the DACS (Design and Analysis of Communication Systems) and DIES (Distributed and Embedded Systems) chairs within the department of Computer Science at the University of Twente, UT;(www.utwente.nl), which is an entrepreneurial research university, located in Enschede, the Netherlands. Most of the faculty’s research, including the present project, is part of the multidisciplinary research institute Centre for Telematics and Information Technology (www.ctit.utwente.nl).
What we ask
You have completed a relevant university degree (M.Sc. level) or are about to graduate in an area that is relevant to our research, e.g. mathematics, computer science, or electrical engineering. You have a quantitative attitude, and knowledge of probability theory, performance analysis and/or stochastic simulation. More specific areas such as model checking or dependability evaluation is and advantage but not necessary.
PhD Localization methods in Smart Dust Sensor Networks
Detail in (Deadline March 16th, 2009)
http://www.utwente.nl/vacatures/en/09-034-eng.doc/
Research project description
Smart dust sensor networks, consisting of very small sensor nodes capable of limited computation, sensing, and communication, are envisioned to fulfill complex large-scale monitoring tasks in a wide variety of application areas.
Smart dust networks differ from current wireless sensor networks in a number of ways:
-
Small size: current RF antennas are too large for dust nodes;
-
Mobility: future Smart Dust nodes are likely to be small enough to be moved by winds or even to remain suspended in air. This is in contrast to current sensor nodes, which are typically immobile due to their size and weight;
-
Large scale: the expected small size and low cost of future Smart Dust nodes will allow very large number of nodes;
-
Very low energy;
-
Limited computing and memory resources.
In many potential smart dust applications, such as object detection and tracking, fine-grained node localization plays a key role. Traditional localization methods are difficult to use in smart dust systems since the topology is an ad-hoc network, which can be mobile as well.
This PhD project will focus on the localization methods in smart dust sensor networks with the following research topics:
-
Inertial navigation techniques, using motion sensors to continuously track the position, orientation, and velocity of a moving object, without the need for external references;
-
RRSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator), which would allow the many sensors, that constitute a mesh network, to calculate their locations based on the time it takes for the radio signal to reach its neighboring sensors;
New localization techniques.
PhD student Piezoelectric devices
Detail in (Deadline March 15, 2009)
http://www.utwente.nl/vacatures/en/09-027-eng.doc/
In this project, we aim to develop novel piezoelectric devices and extract physical parameters thereof. The project is financed by the Dutch Technology Foundation STW (10172) (www.stw.nl (opens in a new window)) via the open technology program (OTP). The scientific program is carried out at the NXP Research site (MiPlaza) in Eindhoven, and at MESA+/University of Twente in Enschede, both in the Netherlands. The Ph.D. student is under guidance of two supervisors from the University of Twente. Throughout this period the scientific program is strongly linked to NXP.
PhD students in the EU project ‘BRICS’ (Robotics)
Detail in (Deadline 1 April 2009)
http://www.utwente.nl/vacatures/en/09-017-eng.doc/
Robotic systems and applications are about to become a key technology to address two socioeconomicmegatrends: the over-aging societies and the competitiveness in the global markets. To address the most urgent needs of an over-aging society, a multitude of service robots will have to be developed in a rather short time. To persist in an increasingly harsh competition with low-wage countries the innovation and production cycles in Europe have to be reduced significantly asking for new and flexible automation solutions.
Robot developers in academia and industry badly need common research platforms and development tools shortening the development cycles for new robot systems and applications significantly. In other areas such as telecommunication or automotive industry or embedded systems industry much effort has been made in the past years to design such integrated development environments. The robotics community has to follow these models in order to make robot technology an innovative key technology as stated above. BRICS is going to address this urgent need.
