PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral candidate (PhD student) in the field of Spaceborne Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry
The GNSS-R Satellite Earth Observation (GLITTER) project harnesses the power of GNSS-R (Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry) for advanced Earth observation. This technique uses the reflections of GNSS signals off various surfaces—land, sea, and ice—to monitor environmental conditions. Our ambitious goal is to pioneer a new generation of experts capable of making significant advancements in this field through doctoral level education and research. At the heart of GLITTER is the development of a synchronized constellation of CubeSats, offering a cost-effective yet powerful approach to Earth observation. This innovative system allows for enhanced resolution and data accuracy through advanced beamforming techniques. Essential to our methodology are ground-truth data and calibration methods derived from near-field radar technology, which will enable comprehensive research across all facets of GNSS-R technology. This includes the launching and adjustment of CubeSat formations, RF synchronization, interferometry between moving platforms, and calibration of RF front-ends, alongside ground testing with drones and CubeSat systems, on-board processing, data transfer, and analysis. The project’s scope extends beyond GNSS-R technology to potentially revolutionize fields that use interferometry, like radio astronomy and phased-array-based communications. Moreover, GLITTER aims to support various industry sectors, including precision agriculture, forestry, and land and sea management, by providing accurate data essential for climate change.

PhD position summary/title:–PhD candidate for Deployment and Control of a Distributed Telescope as a Formation of Nanosatellites
This PhD project aims at the development of an improved distributed control of such formations of small satellites, also using a combination of solar and aerodynamic forces for propellant-less control. This will be ideal to deploy, maintain and reconfigure cost-efficiently a large formation of small satellites but requires the detailed modelling of the satellite dynamics, including the effects of aerodynamic forces (caused by the residual atmosphere in LEO) and the solar radiation pressure. After an analysis of optimal formation geometries for Earth observation, suitable orbital guidance and attitude control approaches will be developed and tested, using advanced simulation tools as well as formation flight experiments on a smaller scale with drones. These flight tests will also provide a better understanding of the level of control needed to achieve satisfactory beamforming.

PhD position summary/title:–PhD student position in Engineering Science
A PhD position in engineering is available at the Chair for ‘Urban Water Management’ (Prof. Dr. Joachim Hansen), Department of Engineering. The successful candidate will be hired in the frame of the QUALISURE project funded by Interreg Greater Region (Principal Investigator: Dr. Silvia Venditti). The project aims to identify the emission hot spots in the catchment area of the Sûre reservoir (the largest drinking water source for Luxembourg), for which both Luxembourg and Belgium are liable. Existing wastewater treatment plants are expected to be optimized, and Nature-based solutions (NBS) intensified with innovative substrates will be installed (pilot scale) at the hot spots of emissions, both at wastewater treatment plants and Combined Sewer Overflows, so that their performance can be evaluated.
The PhD topic will aim to answer the questions related to the viability and optimization of NBS to reduce pollution by developing a novel concept. In addition to measuring micropollutants, nutrients and bacteriological contamination are also taken into account, especially for water reuse purposes. Laboratory tests will be performed before the pilot plant to characterize and select the most appropriate substrates respecting the principles of circularity and sustainability giving preference to local material. The results will be incorporated into a decision support tool developed by a project partner enabling the intelligent distribution of pollution in the catchment area. Finally, a cross-border master plan for maintaining the quality of the Sûre will be defined.

PhD position summary/title:–PhD candidate Advancing Space Weather Predictability
Space weather, similar to weather on Earth, has a significant effect on infrastructure in space and on Earth. For example, solar storms may obstruct radio communication on Earth and space. Severe space weather events may even lead to failures of the electric grid, causing significant economic damage and posing a threat to societal stability. As weather forecasts on Earth, space weather forecasts may help to mitigate and prepare for such space weather events. Recently, the use of machine learning for improved space weather forecasting has gained in importance.
The Luxembourg-based company Mission Space and SnT, University of Luxembourg are joining forces to develop a space weather center of excellence. The first building block is to improve the accuracy of space weather forecasting using a combination of existing space weather models and data collected in space. For the latter, Mission Space will soon launch a dedicated satellite constellation for acquiring space weather data in space.

PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral candidate (PhD student) in the field of soft matter physics
Discovered only six years ago, the ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal (LC) phase has revolutionized soft matter physics and created an explosion of creativity and excitement in the field. Apart from the excitement from a fundamental physics point of view of a spontaneously polarized 3D liquid, the nascent research field is also driven by enormous application potential in, e.g., piezoelectric energy generators, supercapacitors, soft actuators and much more. The SHADOW project takes an innovative approach to studying ferroelectric nematics in a three-PI collaboration between Prof. Irena Drevensek-Olenik (experimental physics) and Prof. Miha Ravnik (theoretical physics) at University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, and the ESMP group in Luxembourg, headed by Prof. Jan Lagerwall. You will be working closely together with post-docs in the two Ljubljana groups, connecting your research with the theoretical and experimental activities in Ljubljana.
You will be preparing and studying spherical shells in which the ferroelectric nematic LC is suspended in and surrounds immiscible isotropic liquids. With tangential boundary conditions, the spherical topology requires positive-signed topological defects to form, but the typical configuration seen with conventional nematics, with four half-integer defects dominated by splay deformation, is not expected, as the ferroelectric nematic forbids half-integer defects and splay is shunned by the phase because it causes divergence in the polarisation field, with consequent bound electric charges. We will also study the behavior with normal boundary conditions, where a uniform shell would have enormous boundary charge, hence a break-up in domains is expected. Interestingly, the unequal areas of out- and inside would require a splayed configuration, which the LC avoids, hence an intriguing state of frustration should arise. Finally, we will also study chiral versions of the ferroelectric nematic LC in shell geometry, which develops structural color that can be tuned by electric field application.

PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral candidate (PhD student) in ultra-reliable and energy-efficient intra-avionic wireless communication systems
The SIGCOM group within the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) has an open Ph.D. position as part of the recently EU granted project AVATAR (digitAl twin for transformatiVe Air vehicle with ioT sensors towards sAfeR skies).
AVATAR project has the goal to create a Digital Twin by continuously monitoring the operation of transformative air vehicles (TAV) through an innovative smart IoT sensing skin, informed by accurate physical models and advanced analytics, resulting in reduced direct operative costs, extended service life and safer skies. In this context, one of the main project axes that will be investigated is the ultra-reliable intra-avionic wireless communication systems. These latter have been hardly adopted in aviation where most intra-avionic connectivity relies on wired technologies. The raison is that current wireless technologies are not able to support the diversified requirements (e.g. reliability, energy efficiency, resilience to interference) for various air vehicle applications.
