EngD in Image-Based Damage Detection in Paintings

Introduction
Are you eager to work on a challenging image analysis problem with direct societal impact? Together with ASML, the Van Gogh Museum and TU/e, you will develop crack detection methods for paintings and build software that supports conservators in their daily work.

Job Description
Cultural heritage is an integral part of our built environment: paintings, monuments, and historic interiors are human-made assets that degrade under environmental loads such as humidity, temperature, and mechanical stress. High-resolution scanners can now capture the colour and surface topography of a painting down to the microscale, but the resulting datasets are large, heterogeneous, and complex. Crack assessment therefore still relies on manual visual inspection, which is time-consuming, subjective, and difficult to reproduce over time.

As our EngD trainee, you will design and validate a semi-automatic crack detection and classification framework based on the fusion of high-resolution colour and surface height data. This is a challenging image analysis problem: cracks appear as thin dark lines, but so do brushstrokes, impasto, and pigment variations, and no single imaging modality is sufficient on its own. You will develop robust image-processing and multi-modal fusion methods, extract quantitative crack descriptors, and integrate these into an interactive software tool that supports conservators in documentation, monitoring, and decision-making, without replacing expert judgement. You will be embedded at ASML in Veldhoven and collaborate closely with conservators and scientists of the Van Gogh Museum and researchers at TU/e, within the framework of the Materials innovation institute (M2i), at the meeting point of high-tech industry, academia, and one of the world's most renowned museums.

Smart Buildings & Cities EngD Program
The Smart Buildings & Cities EngD program wants to contribute to the transition towards smart, intelligent, and sustainable cities where the quality of life for residents is high and cultural assets are preserved for future generations. This transition requires new solutions which can only be created through multiscale and transdisciplinary approaches.
The program consists of two main parts running in parallel:

• One part of the program consists of post-graduate level education in the form of generic design projects and courses on design methods, entrepreneurship, and management, with special attention to the development of professional skills. The education part also includes technical courses on topics relevant to SBCs, as well as courses tailored to the specific topic of the individual project, such as image processing, data science, and software development.
• The other part of the program is dedicated to an individual design project in collaboration with a company or with a consortium of companies and organizations, who work together on a subsidies project. It is the trainee’s main responsibility to manage and execute (own part of) the project. Each trainee is supported by an advisor from the company and a supervisor from the university.

Job Requirements
We are looking for an excellent and highly motivated candidate with:

• an MSc degree in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Structural/Civil Engineering, or a related field
• an interest in image processing, computer vision, data analysis, machine learning and in translating algorithms into practical, user-oriented software tools
• demonstrable programming skills (e.g. Python, Pytorch); experience with image analysis, machine learning, or damage/defect detection is an advantage
• an excellent command of the English language, both in speaking and writing
• the ability to work in a team and an interest in collaborating with the industrial partner (ASML) and museum professionals (Van Gogh Museum)
• affinity with cultural heritage or conservation is a plus, but not required

We value diversity in our team and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
Candidates with non-traditional profiles or degrees from related disciplines are welcome to apply.

Conditions of Employment
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an international setting with a close relationship to industry. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:

• Full-time employment for two years.

This role is at the heart of one of the five regional innovation hubs of QDNL, which aims to accelerate the development of quantum technologies for applications such as quantum computing, quantum secure communication, and quantum sensing applications.

As quantum program manager, you will be supporting a growing and active quantum community in the Brainport region. Operating between QT/e and the Casimir Institute, you are part of the operational Hub team of quantum hub coordinator, business developers, communication and project officers. You will work closely with TU/e researchers across departments and institutes, Brainport Development, BOM, and other partners to grow and energize the local ecosystem.

You will support the Foundational Technologies Domain of the Casimir institute, that includes the research topics Quantum & Novel Computing Paradigms; AI for Robotics and Control; Mathematical Foundations; and Software, Security and systems. You will play an active role in supporting and contributing to the management of the quantum center QT/e, which coordinates the National Growth Fund programs in quantum technology, including the Hub program for QDNL Brainport Eindhoven. In this position, you will be ideally placed to help accelerate the development of quantum technologies within the region, while fostering strong connections across the Eindhoven ecosystem - from academic and institutional partners to industry. You will contribute to strengthening collaborations and nurturing a vibrant, integrated community that drives innovation and impact.

You will take a leadership and supporting role in QDNL Brainport Eindhoven’s large-scale current and future funding programs. These large-scale programs focus on long-term trajectories (longer than five years) at both the national and international level, with a clear ambition to scale up the Hub activities and partnerships internationally. You will support the Hub team in coordinating hub activities and large-scale program support, events, engaging stakeholders, expanding the network of partners and increasing collaborations with industry, and ensuring smooth operations.
