PhD on Highly Robust High-Power AC-DC Converter for Green Hydrogen Production

Introduction
Green hydrogen has a central role in enabling the global energy transition, and the technologies related to it must develop quickly according to new market needs. One of these technologies is the AC–DC power electronics used to provide DC power to the electrolysis system. Even though the rectifier is a well-established system in high-power applications, the state-of-the-art technology is based on IGBT semiconductors with limited switching frequency. The new wideband gap semiconductors, like the Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, allow the rectifier to operate at higher frequencies, resulting in highly efficient and smaller systems (reduced footprint). Nevertheless, the higher operation of such devices poses new challenges in terms of protection, which are still unsolved. Unlike IGBT, wideband gap devices cannot withstand short-circuit currents for enough time until the actuation of the protection. Therefore, new protection schemes must be proposed in order to make the wideband gap-based rectifier robust enough for industry standards.

To address these challenges, we are looking for a motivated PhD candidate interested in working on advanced protection strategies for active front-end rectifier and innovative fault-tolerant topologies.

Job Description
The PhD will be part of the IMPROvE project: Industrial monitoring and protection with power microelectronics. The project aims to develop a highly robust rectifier for electrolysis applications, with a focus on advanced protection strategies and innovative fault-tolerant circuit topologies. The research will address faults from the component level to the system level. Initially, fault detection techniques at the semiconductor level will be explored, particularly for wide bandgap devices, leading to the development of a comprehensive fault identification and isolation scheme. In parallel, new power electronic topologies will be investigated to propose a novel fault-tolerant rectifier design. At the system level, the project will also explore fault detection and isolation in parallel power electronics systems. Besides, the proposed solution should be implemented and validated experimentally in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed protection schemes and rectifier topologies under realistic fault scenarios.

Besides research, you will also contribute to education within the department. Apart from supervising BSc and MSc students in their research projects, other assistance in education, e.g. in bachelor courses, is also expected. The overall load usually amounts to around 10% of your contract time.

The mission of the Department of Electrical Engineering is to acquire, share and transfer knowledge and understanding in the whole field of Electrical Engineering through education, research and valorization. We work towards a ‘Smart Sustainable Society’, a ‘Connected World’, and a healthy humanity (‘Care & Cure’). Activities share an application-oriented character, a high degree of complexity and a large synergy between multiple facets of the field.

Research is carried out into the applications of electromagnetic phenomena in all forms of energy conversion, telecommunication and electrical signal processing. Existing and new electrical components and systems are analyzed, designed and built. The Electrical Engineering department takes its inspiration from contacts with high-tech industry in the direct surrounding region and beyond.

The department is innovative and has international ambitions and partnerships. The result is a challenging and inspiring setting in which socially relevant issues are addressed.

Job Requirements

• A MSc degree in Electrical Engineering or any other relevant program.
• Strong background in power electronics (specially AC-DC converters, grid connected and multilevel converters).
• Hands-on experience with prototypes (PCB design, implementation, and experimental verification) is highly desirable.
• Experience with control design, fault-tolerant converter and protection mechanism for power electronics is a plus.
• Fluent in spoken and written English.
• Enthusiasm and motivation to work on highly challenging research topics.

Conditions of Employment
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. 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 four years, with an intermediate assessment after nine months. You will spend a minimum of 10% of your four-year employment on teaching tasks, with a maximum of 15% per year of your employment.
• Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. € 3,059 - max. € 3,881).
• A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
• High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
• An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
• An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
• A Staff Immigration Team and a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) for international candidates.

PhD in Micromechanical experimental analysis of particle generation in silicon wafer handling

Introduction
Are you an engineer who wants to contribute to the high-tech, state-of-the-art micromechanical experimental analysis of microscopic wear of silicon during wafer handling? We are looking for an outstanding and enthusiastic PhD candidate, with a strong experimental mechanics profile of excellence, to work on a challenging micro-mechanical testing project, in an exciting multidisciplinary team.

Job Description
Context
The yield of many manufacturing processes of micro- and nanoscale substrates depends highly on their cleanliness. Reduction of contaminating particles improves the overall efficiency and quality, thereby enabling the creation of larger structured substrates. Investing in the prevention of wear particles generation is a way to tackle this issue directly at the source, which is particularly relevant for wafer handling.

Silicon is a very complex material, undergoing multiple phase transformation, with some phases showing extensive plastic deformation, during mechanical loading and contact. The generation of particles is rooted in the complex fracture events spanning the various phases of silicon in various 3D stress configurations. A predictive model should properly account for the complex physics, damage and fracture. The loading conditions in contact and scratching are equally complex and need to be properly accounted for as well.

PhD project
The objective of this project is to extensively characterize the governing micromechanisms of phase transformation, plasticity, damage and fracture during the silicon particle detachment under contact conditions, enabling a quantitative assessment of the dominant influence factors and possible mitigation routes to control the detachment process. To achieve this goal, the project will use a dedicated in-situ scratch tester with in-situ scanning electron microscopy observation capabilities, which so far was used for indentation of silicon with only preliminary exploration of in-SEM scratching.

Building upon the preliminary in-situ SEM scratch exploration, the following extensions and improvements need to be made:

• Develop a method to measure the extent of silicon phase transformation and plasticity underneath a silicon micro-scratch, using electron backscatter diffraction or transmission Kikuchi diffraction on focused ion beam lift-outs of the scratch.
• Develop a method to quantify the volume and size distribution of wear particles, based on in-SEM scratch movies combined with atomic force microscopy of the corresponding scratches.
• Combine these methods to quantify phase transformation, plasticity, damage, fracture, and particle volume/sizes for the parameters space that is relevant for wafer handling.
• Map out the different regimes of silicon deformation and particle generation and formulate and validate a mitigation strategy to reduce particle generation.
• Determine the input parameters for the predictive modelling framework being developed in the numerical co-project, e.g. material parameters and the friction coefficient in the different scratch regimes.

The experimental campaign will be guided by the insights from numerical simulations. The interaction between the experimental project and the parallel modelling project, focused on simulating particle generation in silicon wafers, is therefore essential.

Section Mechanics of Materials
You will work in the section of Mechanics of Materials (MoM) (www.tue.nl/mechmat) at the department of Mechanical Engineering of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). The MoM section is recognized worldwide for its high-level research on experimental analysis, theoretical understanding and predictive modelling of complex mechanical behavior in engineering materials at different length scales (e.g, plasticity, damage, fracture), which emerges from the physics and mechanics of the underlying multi-phase microstructure. An integrated numerical-experimental approach is generally adopted for this goal.

A state-of-the-art micromechanical testing infrastructure is in place for the experimental work in this project (www.tue.nl/multiscale-lab).

Job Requirements

• An outstanding, motivated, enthusiastic, curiosity-driven researcher. Deep analytical skills, initiative, creativity, and flexibility are highly desired.
• A MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering, or similar.
• A convincing and very strong background in experimental micromechanics, supported by excellent grades, is required. Candidates without such a background are discouraged to apply.
• Additional experience in materials science, metallurgy, microscopy, mechanical testing, continuum and computational mechanics, or structure-property relationships is of benefit.
• Interest to work in an interdisciplinary project, with a strong scientific profile, but in close coordination with industrial partners such as VDL ETG.
• Motivated to develop your teaching skills and coach students.

Fluent in spoken and written English (C1 level).

Conditions of Employment
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. 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 four years, with an intermediate assessment after nine months. You will spend a minimum of 10% of your four-year employment on teaching tasks (including supervision of BSc and MSc students doing a research internship in support of your PhD project), with a maximum of 15% per year of your employment.
• Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. € 3,059 - max. € 3,881).
• A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
• High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
• An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
