PDEng position on Image-based Control at Eindhoven University of Technology

Eindhoven University of Technology has a vacancy for a

Post-Master PDEng position on Image-based Control for Fast Data Acquisition in Transmission Electron Microscopes

in the Electronic Systems group, department of Electrical Engineering.

The ICT post-master designers program is a two-year salaried program in the field of technological design in Electrical Engineering. The program leads to a Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng) degree.

Project description
Researchers in academic and corporate labs are continuously pushing frontiers of science in order to provide the world with new medicines or cleaner energy. They are enabled to do so in part by the high-end lab equipment provided by Thermo Fisher Scientific. Their world-class Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) are used to reveal structures at sub-nm scale, enabling understanding of protein and material properties at the atomic level.

The design project is centered around the development of image-based control in TEM, and will be performed at Thermo Fisher Scientific's research facility in Eindhoven. Advanced real-time image analysis will have to be performed to determine how system parameters can be adjusted. This will lead to a shorter time to result and potentially higher quality images and large 3D reconstructions; which in turn will undoubtedly lead to new discoveries in life and material sciences.

The project is spread over two years and aims to develop your design engineers' abilities. In the project, a specific design objective must be reached within a restricted period of time and with limited means. In accordance with the supervising professor the candidate will be given the opportunity to gather specialized knowledge for the design project already in the first year of your Traineeship. You will be coached by experienced design engineers from industry and/or by TU/e staff with clear and relevant design experience. You will acquire independence and learn to make choices and work well in a project-based manner.
