Postdoc Aerodynamic Drag Reduction for Electric Aircraft

Job description

The project addresses an urgent challenge in the aviation sector: decarbonising short-haul regional flights with routes up to 1,000km. Today, these account for nearly half of global departures and over 19% of aviation emissions, yet there is still no scalable, zero-emission solution for this segment. Battery-electric propulsion stands out as the most viable path to net-zero regional aviation, within a relevant timeframe. Conventional fuel-based aircraft have sufficient range to cover regional routes with ease. For electric aircraft however, reducing aerodynamic drag directly translates to increased usable range, expanding market reach.

Electric propulsion systems open up opportunities for novel configurations and capabilities. This project focuses on the development, application, and validation of tools which allow the designer to fully exploit electric propulsion capabilities when considering the integration of the wing-nacelle-propeller-heat exchanger (IPU) system. This IPU system is a key determinant of drag, as well as thermal and propulsor efficiency. The project explores novel design solutions for the IPU system, including validation through high-fidelity wind-tunnel and numerical simulations.

This post-doc position focuses on the development of reduced order models for rapid design space exploration of integrated propulsion system arrangements. These models, trained on higher fidelity data, allow for the accurate prediction of lift and drag characteristics, including laminar-turbulent transition and separation line prediction. The models will be applied to a distributed electric propulsion concept, with the most promising configurations adapted into a modular wind tunnel test model by project partners.

Because of the strong impact of the work on the overall project, frequent discussions are foreseen with project partners from industry and research centers.

About the team
The position is based in the Flow Physics and Technology department, with involvement from both the Flight Performance and Propulsion and Aerodynamics sections. The successful applicant will be part of international teams working on propulsion integration aerodynamics and flow control. These teams consist of PhD researchers, post-doctoral researchers, and professors. We approach problems in a horizontal “team spirit” and continuously traverse boundaries between theory, simulations, and experiments towards understanding fluid flows and using this understanding to propose novel design solutions. We strive for a cocreative and stimulating environment where we can develop our skills as a scientist, team member and teacher. We place great emphasis on a collegial working environment where everyone is welcome and encouraged to shape their own track. We like to know about everyone’s research project and try to help and learn from each other’s problems to boost our scientific and personal growth.

You should meet the following requirements:

• PhD degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering focused on fluid mechanics
• Good track record in BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees.Proficiency in the English language, both oral and written.
• Proven experience with work in research projects with internal and external partners
• Enthusiastic about working in an energetic team and in close collaboration with project partners

The following skills are also highly appreciated:

• Affinity with aircraft aerodynamics, propulsion aerodynamics, and transition theory and modelling
• Experience with numerical simulations of propeller aerodynamics, parameterization techniques, optimization methods

Postdoc Researcher in Generative AI for Nanomedicine Design

Job description
We are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to develop generative AI methods for nanoparticle (NP) drug delivery design. You will join the research group of Dr. Sepinoud Azimi, working within the NAP4DIVE project (Horizon Europe), a consortium including AstraZeneca, TU Eindhoven, University of Gothenburg, Chalmers, and FinnAdvance.

Nanoparticle drug delivery is a high-dimensional, multi-objective design problem: formulations consist of multiple interacting components whose therapeutic behaviour changes after administration due to biological interactions (protein corona formation, degradation, payload release). Current AI approaches treat NP design as static property prediction. This project takes a fundamentally different approach: using generative models to propose novel NP formulations and coupling them with explainability methods so that design decisions can be understood, validated, and trusted.

As a postdoc, you will:

• Develop generative AI models (e.g., variational autoencoders, diffusion models, or reinforcement learning-based optimization) for NP formulation design, targeting specific therapeutic outcomes such as blood-brain barrier permeability and tumour accumulation.
• Couple generative models with counterfactual explanation methods, enabling researchers and regulators to understand why a proposed formulation is predicted to work and what minimal design changes would alter therapeutic outcomes.
• Co-supervise doctoral candidates working on related topics, including nanoparticle database curation, molecular dynamics-based transport modelling, and reinforcement learning for treatment optimization.
• Contribute to high-impact publications.

You will work alongside PhD students and interact with experimental partners across the NAP4DIVE consortium. You will have access to the DelftBlue high-performance computing cluster.

This position offers a unique opportunity to shape an emerging field. The group is building toward a long-term research programme on trustworthy AI for personalized nanomedicine, and your contributions will directly feed into this vision.

The intended start date is July–August 2026.

Job requirements

• PhD in machine learning, artificial intelligence, computational chemistry, computational materials science, or a closely related field.
• Demonstrated expertise in generative models for molecular or materials design, with at least one first-author publication using variational autoencoders, diffusion models, normalizing flows, or reinforcement learning-based design optimization.
• Strong programming skills in Python with experience in PyTorch, JAX, or equivalent deep learning frameworks.
• Ability to work independently, formulate research questions, and drive projects to publication.
• Excellent written and spoken English.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience with drug delivery, nanomedicine, pharmaceutical formulation, or materials informatics.
• Familiarity with explainable AI or counterfactual explanation methods.
• Experience with molecular dynamics data, graph neural networks, or multi-component system modelling.
• Track record of interdisciplinary collaboration.
