PhD Position Symbolic AI and Reasoning Under Uncertainty

Modern decision-making increasingly relies on algorithms that provide recommendations based on models of the real-world problem. These models take many parameters as input. Wouldn't it be great if we knew *which input parameters* in such model *really matter* for its outcomes?

Knowing which parameters are really important helps decision-makers to allocate resources towards obtaining more accurate estimates of those parameters, to draft contingency plans, and to provide guarantees on the robustness of their decisions w.r.t. specific input parameters.

Classical approaches to this sensitivity analysis are based on simulations. These are computationally expensive an might miss important variables.

In this project we will explore logic-based methods that identify critical/important parameters based on the *structure* of the problem, instead. This allows us to provide *formal guarantees* on the correctness of our results, enabling confident decision-making by end-users. We will explore how the structure of logic problems can inform statistical testing methods. Leveraging structural knowledge can help limit the number of required tests to identify, for example, faulty components in a power network, leading to stronger guarantees with less data.

The supervisory team for this project consists of dr. ir. Sicco Verwer (promotor), dr. Fabian Mies and dr. Anna Latour (co-promotores).

Job description
In your research you will build on and expand your knowledge of modelling- and solving paradigms like Boolean Satisfiability, Constraint Programming, Mixed-Integer (Linear) Programming. Additionally you will work on methods for reasoning about discrete probability distributions, sampling from complex spaces, and statistical analysis methods.

While doing so, you will collaborate with other researchers and software engineers to build usable tools for both the scientific community and societal stakeholders. You will communicate your research findings by publishing in and presenting at top-tier academic conferences and journals. This provides excellent opportunities for building an international network of experienced researchers and experts.

Work environment

You will work in the Algorithmics section at the Software Technology (ST) department and collaborate with the Statistic section of the Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics (DIAM). In the Algorithmics section you will become part of a dynamic and diverse environment of PhD and postdoc researchers excited about making theoretical and algorithmic contributions in intelligent decision making. We aim to deal with the scalability challenge inherent in many such applications, to understand how to learn models that are useful for upstream planning, scheduling, and verification tasks, and how to deal with their uncertainty. Further, we aim to understand how to effectively incorporate behaviour and preferences of stakeholders into the algorithmic decision-making process.

TU Delft hosts a vibrant interdisciplinary community, facilitated through cross-faculty institutes and seminar series addressing a range of societal problems, including climate change, the energy transition, and artificial intelligence. As a PhD candidate, you will collaborate with experienced researchers, attend conferences, and experience an international research environment. The position will focus on research, with optional contributions to education and supervision of bachelor and master students.

Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three scientific disciplines. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we all use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make completely sustainable and future-proof. At the same time, we are developing the chips and sensors of the future, whilst also setting the foundations for the software technologies to run on this new generation of equipment – which of course includes AI. Meanwhile we are pushing the limits of applied mathematics, for example mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. In other words: there is plenty of room at the faculty for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1000 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.

PhD Position Data-Driven Health Monitoring of Floating Wind Turbines

Job description
We are seeking a motivated researcher to join our team in advancing innovative approaches for mitigating wake interaction effects in floating wind turbines. Recent advancements in dynamic actuation strategies have shown promise for enhancing wake mixing, but significant gaps remain in understanding the complex behavior and nonlinearities of mooring systems. This project aims to address these gaps by developing hardware-in-the-loop facilities for emulating mooring line nonlinearities at model scale and devising active control and health monitoring strategies. These efforts are aligned with the HybridLabs project, which leverages bio-inspired, data-driven control techniques in controlled wind tunnel environments.

The successful candidate will focus on real-time data-driven control and health monitoring techniques for mooring systems and floating wind turbines. Key responsibilities include designing an experimental setup at TU Delft to mimic the realistic nonlinearities of mooring lines, implementing and testing control algorithms, and conducting a comprehensive test campaign using state-of-the-art facilities. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research at the intersection of renewable energy, control systems, and experimental mechanics.

Job requirements
The successful candidate has the following qualifications:

  • A M.Sc. degree in systems and control, wind energy or hydrodynamics.
  • Fundamental knowledge in the field of optimization and control.
  • The capacity to communicate effectively with peers, students and stakeholders in the application field.
  • Good programming skills are a plus: MATLAB, Python, Git.
  • Fluency in English.
  • An open personality and good communication skills in written and spoken English.
