PhD position summary/title:–PhD Position Scalable Graph Learning

Graph machine learning (Graph ML) is an emerging field of artificial intelligence (AI) motivated by the ubiquity of graph-structured data in real-world applications. Graph neural networks (GNNs) serve as a key technology in this area and are successfully used in recommendation systems, financial crime analysis, cybersecurity, and social and biological network analysis. However, conventional GNN architectures are limited in the type and complexity of graph patterns they can detect. For example, cycles, cliques, and frequent motifs can serve as highly discriminative signatures when analysing financial, biological, and social networks. However, cost-efficient and scalable discovery of such patterns in large graphs using neural-network-based approaches is challenging. Although these patterns can be detected using purely combinatorial approaches, such approaches lack statistical learning and adaptation capabilities and have high computational complexity.

(05) Fully Funded PhD Position 

PhD position summary/title:–PhD Position Value-Based Assessment Methods for AI Systems

AI alignment refers to the goal to make AI systems behave in line with human intentions and values. With the rapid proliferation of AI systems and their growing capability, there are equal risks from misalignment. Validating models is a crucial step before decisions can be made about implementation and is important for continuous monitoring of systems in use. The challenge is, however, that validation needs to happen along a range of different values that are important for AI to possess at the police: accuracy, but also fairness, reliability, trustworthiness, and more need to be ensured.

As a PhD student at TU Delft, you will conduct impactful research on two key aspects in advancing the responsible use of AI within the police force. First, you will investigate the standards and values surrounding AI usage, particularly concerning openly available models to begin with. This entails defining what criteria these models must meet, beyond common considerations like bias and fairness. You will research which values AI systems need to be aligned with through in-depth case studies at the Police. Second, you will also design methods to systematically evaluate a range of models against these established standards and values. This contribution ensures the responsible deployment of AI within the police force, pushes forward our understanding of how to align AI models in practice, and maximizes the efficiency of utilizing publicly available models.

Through these efforts, you will significantly contribute to advancing the important area of AI alignment and help foster an ethical and accountable AI culture within the organization.

(07) Fully Funded PhD Position 

PhD position summary/title:–PhD Position Technology for Electrochemical Membrane Processes

The energy transition impacts all energy- and chemistry-related processes. Two rapidly growing fields in this sector are 1) and conversion of renewable electricity into synthetic chemicals and fuels, such as green hydrogen, and 2) and the electrification of chemical plants. The scales of these processes are astronomical. The chemical industry is responsible for >10% of fossil fuel consumption in EU, from which roughly half the energy is spend on separation processes, and 90-95% of these separation processes are currently thermally driven (i.e., burning fossils). In the transition to renewable energy, electrical-driven separation processes are required at huge scale. Moreover, the electrolyzer capacity is expected to increase from the present-day 40 GW for the EU by 2030, which is >5% of the total EU’s primary energy consumption.

(11) Fully Funded PhD Position 

PhD position summary/title:–PhD Position Implications of as-a-service in Buildings to Value

The doctoral project at Delft University of Technology (research project 4b) is part of the response to the objective, ‘Analogue expansion of valuation’. In the circular economy, business models drive future building use potential. One unexplored aspect is the product service system direction. In a very infant stage, some initiatives have been developed that focus on the building as a service. The product service systems approach enables more accountability on the building operation, including e.g. CO2 emissions, because specific services (like elevators, heat systems, or lighting) could be owned and accounted for by service providers. In this context the question arises: what are the implications for the value of the building? This project will explore the implications of product service system applications in buildings on the real estate value. As well as a dissertation, and a number of academic papers, the project will produce an accessible report for real estate professionals.

(13) Fully Funded PhD Position 

PhD position summary/title:–PhD Position New Approaches to Options Valuation for Circular Real Estate

The doctoral project at Delft university of Technology (research project 1a) is part of the response to the objective, ‘Quantum inspiration and implementation’. This project will explore improvements to valuation and decision-making of real estate on a multitude of parameters. The aim is to make real estate investment decisions more adaptive, by using the time dimension and real options analysis in valuation methods. Time value of money and real options analyses are strongly affected by linear assumptions in investment calculations, for example through interest rates that are smoothened over time. Quantum mechanics can contribute to break open this linearity, as it conceptualises a non-linear world to pioneer models for capturing value assumptions in dynamic and fuzzy real-world conditions. The project will conceptualise new innovative models and analyse how these can more accurately reflect real estate valuation in a circular economy for different industry players. As well as a dissertation, and a number of academic papers, the project will produce an accessible report for real estate professionals.

(15) Fully Funded PhD Position 

PhD position summary/title:–PhD Position Surrogate-enabled Uncertainty Quantification for Water Quality Modeling

Reactive transport models are essential for assessing groundwater quality and contamination risks, which are critical for safe drinking water. However, uncertainties in model parameters and data hinder accurate predictions. Traditional uncertainty quantification (so-called Bayesian) methods require extensive computational resources, hindering robust uncertainty quantification for complex models.

This PhD position offers an exciting opportunity to address this challenge by leveraging surrogate modeling techniques. Surrogate models approximate computationally intensive models at reduced cost, enabling uncertainty quantification despite time budget constraints. Recent advances in machine learning techniques also offer promising opportunities to improve surrogate modeling approaches. In this project, you will develop surrogate models tailored to reactive transport models and integrate them into an uncertainty quantification framework.

PhD position summary/title:–PhD Position The Impact of Circular Measures on the Life Span of Buildings

The doctoral project at Delft University of Technology (research project 2a) is part of the response to the objective, ‘Value of the building that lasts’. This project will study how exchangeability of building functions and uses contribute to increase buildings’ functional lifespan (i.e. reduce functional obsolescence), and how a prolonged lifespan could increase the value of the building. Here we will develop knowledge about adaptive reuse, circularity and building adaptability to expand the lifespan of real estate and contribute to climate adaptation and mitigation. This project innovatively uses the quantum perspective to answer (1) how to increase the adaptability and lifespan of existing real estate through adaptation and adaptive reuse strategies, (2) which strategies should be applied to achieve future ready real estate, and (3) how will an extended building lifespan contribute to the future value of real estate. This project will follow a research by design methodology, developing and testing new solutions through co-creation, involving all partners of the research consortium. The project explores, develops and tests the value of different uses of a building. Furthermore, this project will develop knowledge about the costs of measures of particularly circularity and building adaptability to finally develop an assessment framework for investing in lifespan extension underpinned with real options appraisal. As well as a dissertation, and a number of academic papers, the project will produce an accessible report for real estate professionals.

(17) Fully Funded PhD Position 

PhD position summary/title:–PhD Position: Insight into Urban Water Vapour

Climate change is already affecting the way we as a society experience the weather. More extremes in temperature, rainfall and wind means we need to adapt ourselves and our cities to the changing climate. While the Urban Heat Island is a well-known driver of heat stress, urban climate processes related to water are less explored, especially the water vapour content of the air. Water vapour is a driving component of heat stress, since it influences the human ability to cool down through sweating. Given that climate adaptation measures in cities often go towards blue-green solutions (water and vegetation), it is important to quantify how these adaptation measures will affect the local urban atmosphere, and impact people’s lives. There are many unanswered questions regarding the importance and the time evolution of urban water vapour, and how to make use of urban blue and green spaces to combat (future) heat stress.

PhD position summary/title:–PhD position: Pathways for Realising Climate Adaptation in the Wadden Sea (PaRCA)

The PhD aTU Delft will explore methodologies for the intertidal areas to keep pace with SLR. An important question which needs to be addressed as part of that assessment is why the morphology of some of the intertidal areas in the Wadden Sea grow much faster than SLR, which is probably the result of earlier interventions. The resulting relevant timescales dictate when and where to intervene with additional management strategies: interventions may not be needed in areas where accretion is systematic but crucial when accretion rates will rapidly slow down. Through a combination of data analysis (of historic changes) and application of numerical models, the output of the PhD will predict future habitat suitability indexes (ecotope classification) – and strategies how and when to maximise the accretion of these areas under conditions of accelerated SLR of reduced sediment availability.

(19) Fully Funded PhD Position 

PhD position summary/title:–PhD Position Ocean Coastal Trapped Waves

Oceanic wave guides are the ocean’s version of a high-speed internet network: they communicate changes in for example sea level and temperature rapidly to other parts of the ocean. Within this category, Coastal Trapped Waves communicate signals along the edge of the continental shelf, along coastlines, along underwater ridges, in and out of fjords, and between the deep ocean and the shallow shelf areas. As a hybrid between internal Kelvin waves (impacted by ocean stratification) and topographic Rossby waves (impacted by bottom slope), they can change their characteristics when propagating into an area with different topography and/or stratification. The current generation of climate models does not resolve these type of waves; understanding the behavior in realistic ocean settings as well as how they change under different climate conditions is therefore urgently needed. Using a combination of realistic numerical simulations of the ocean and more idealized setups, you will study how Coastal Trapped Waves manifest in realistic situations, how and where they transmit or scatter energy, and how that affects the regional ocean circulation.

(20) Fully Funded PhD Position 

PhD position summary/title:–PhD Position The Natural Rhythm of Estuaries

One large remaining unknown for estuaries is how quickly they respond to environmental change. Equilibrium conditions are fairly well established, and so is the expectation for the direction of estuarine change. Time rates of change, however, are poorly known. Numerical morphodynamic models such as Delft3D are a useful tool to predict fundamental responses of deltas/estuaries to changing boundary conditions and long-term morphodynamic feedbacks. However, model outcomes are hard to test. Recent global datasets of estuaries offer an opportunity. By expanding the number of observations, we can reduce the influence of complicated local field conditions and extract (sometime subtle) rates of change that we can then further explain with numerical models.

The aim of this PhD project is to unite Delft3D simulations and global datasets, and better understand rates of estuarine change. We envision that you will:

  • Identify boundary conditions of global estuaries, including the range in discharge peaks & intermittency, sediment supply, and dimensions, based on literature and databases.
  • Run idealized Delft3D simulations and characterize morphodynamic feedbacks in estuaries of different sizes to varying discharge peaks and sediment supply, and link this to natural systems.
  • Based on the interest of the PhD candidate: develop scenarios to test the adaptation rate of estuaries to direct anthropogenic pressures (e.g. dredging, dams and floodplain constraints), explore the effect of climate change scenarios (e.g changing discharge) or look into spatially varying natural processes (e.g. vegetation, biota)

PhD position summary/title:–PhD Position Sustainable Steel Production Modelling Solid Pile Formation in Reduced Electric Furnaces

The objective of the “Groeien met Groen Staal” program, funded by the Dutch National Growth Fund, is to help and prepare the steel industry for a green transition. The transition towards sustainable steel production necessitates significant alterations requiring novel processes and equipment. However, the technology for novel equipment remains underdeveloped, and the processes occurring within them are not fully comprehended. Therefore, modelling should be enhanced to optimize furnace operations. This will be done by developing a framework of numerical models to gain insights into the complex phenomena within these furnaces.

This PhD project aims to describe solid pile formation in a Reduced Electric Furnace. This is a novel approach to producing high-quality green steel, but its large-scale applicability needs to be proven. Can you help achieve this? You will work on developing a Discrete Element Model that describes the feed of pellets in the furnace. The challenge lies in the complex interplay between feeding, melting, and multiphase particulate flow in the slag layer and in the molten hot metal layer. Ultimately, the resulting model will be integrated into larger computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models that encompass the entire furnace system based on your work and the work of other PhDs in the program. Collaboration with industrial partners and researchers from various universities is a key aspect of this project.
