Professional Doctorate in Engineering Sensor Fusion for Environmental Monitoring at the Eindhoven University of Technology

During the traineeship you follow an individual program, consisting of courses, workshops, assessments and industrial projects, deepening the theoretical knowledge gained during your university studies. You will apply all knowledge gained in a large-scale in-company multidisciplinary design project. The project for this traineeship is conducted in collaboration between the Electronic Systems group (www.es.ele.tue.nl) in the Electrical Engineering department of TU/e and the environmental monitoring project team at imec-NL (www.imec-NL.nl). You build up a valuable network in the ICT business community and can count on professional supervision from both the university and imec. Your individual training scheme is customized to your personal and professional skills, as well as the demands of the industrial project.

Air quality monitoring becomes more important in our society, both for indoor and outdoor applications. In this project, you will develop a wireless sensor system for air quality monitoring. The sensor system consists of multiple sensors for measuring different gasses (e.g. NOx, CO2, O3, ...) and particles (different particle sizes). Part of the sensors are developed in house at imec and the rest will be well chosen off the shelf components. The main work consists of the system design, including the routing strategy in the cloud of sensors towards the IPv6 exit points and the development of algorithms for calibration (initial and during lifetime) and temperature and humidity compensation. Also sensor fusion algorithms will be investigated to improve both sensitivity and selectivity of the total system for the different gasses. The design should be supported by system simulations that should be validated by working solutions in the field. The main emphasis is on data analysis and building efficient algorithms for the use of that data in environmental monitoring.
