As systems become more complex and multidisciplinary, design of these systems also becomes more complicated. To assist design of such systems, physical models and computational tools are needed for their analysis and optimization. Our research focus is on the development of such advanced (computational) design techniques, combined with the understanding and design of innovative mechanical devices.
Supported by vast experience in structural optimization and modeling available in Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME) with the mathematical optimization and machine learning expertise in the Delft Center for Systems and Control (DCSC), the candidate will fuse the worlds of artificial intelligence and structural optimization. To that end, the candidate will develop, conduct, and supervise research on AI-based optimization applied to structural systems (machine learning algorithms with novel regularization techniques for scarce training data, applied to problems in structural mechanics).
The tasks to be performed include:
The applicants should have the following qualifications:
Fixed-term contract: 1 year (with the possibility of extending the contract to 2 years based on performance).
