Postdoc Protection and Control of DC Microgrid for Electric Aircraft

Job description

DC microgrids with integrated energy storage are a key enabler of the electrification of transportation, industry, data centers, and renewable energy systems. However, the high-power, low-impedance, and dynamically varying DC microgrids introduces significant challenges in system stability and fault resilience. These challenges are particularly critical for electric aircraft, requiring high power density, stringent weight constraints, fast electrical dynamics, and demanding safety requirements.

The objective of this postdoctoral position is to develop efficient, stable, and fault-resilient DC microgrids for electric aircraft, addressing challenges from the converter level to the system level. At the converter level, you will investigate power conversion, control, and protection technologies to achieve high power density, robust operation, and effective fault handling. At the system level, you will design DC microgrid architectures that integrate diverse energy sources, power converters, and aircraft loads. A hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test platform will be developed to validate the proposed solutions. This platform will support research on stability analysis, and the transient and steady-state responses under various faults. A particular focus will be placed on the interaction between protection actions and system control to ensure stable and resilient operation under normal and fault conditions.

What You Will Do

• Develop and validate digital models of energy sources and storage, power electronic converters, and aircraft loads
• Design DC microgrid architectures for electric aircraft, balancing reliability, efficiency, power density, and weight. Implement an HIL test platform for the selected architecture
• Investigate DC fault dynamics by analyzing transient and steady-state system behavior under pole-to-pole and pole-to-ground faults, and propose mitigation measures
• Investigate the interaction between protection and control and develop coordinated protection and control strategies to enhance overall system performance and fault resilience
• Validate proposed solutions through simulation and HIL experiments

What the Position Offers You

• A state-of-the-art power electronics laboratory, equipped with advanced research and testing facilities, including OPAL-RT, PLECS RT Box, and Imperix power amplifiers
• An opportunity to conduct high-impact research on electric aircraft, contributing to the future of sustainable aviation

Postdoc Markerless Motion Capture for Home Monitoring in Neurological Populations

Job description
The department of Biomechanical Engineering TU Delft seeks a motivated postdoctoral researcher with a background in biomechanical engineering for a full-time, fully funded project on the clinical validation of single-camera markerless motion capture for assessment and long-term home monitoring of motor impairments in stroke and Parkinson's disease patients. The position is based at TU Delft, supervised by Dr. Eline van der Kruk and Dr. Ajay Seth, with measurements at clinical partner sites and in patients' homes, and part of your time spent on-site at Model Health (Leuven, Belgium) to co-develop the home-based prototype. You will work closely with clinicians, patients, and Model Health, embedded in the multidisciplinary "Care is coming home!" program, a 5-year consortium of 2 technical universities (TU Delft, UTwente), 6 hospitals, 13 companies (including Model Health), 1 rehabilitation centre, and 5 patient organisations.

The Challenge
Reliable, long-term monitoring of motor impairments outside the clinic is essential to support home-based rehabilitation, yet existing markerless motion capture systems are rarely validated on neurological gait patterns and struggle to generalize across pathology, body morphology, camera viewpoint, and home environments. Before such systems can support clinical decisions, we need to know how accurate they really are, for which patients, and under which conditions. We also need to understand which outcome measures are valid and meaningful to patients, caregivers and clinicians.This position aims to close that gap: you will verify and validate a single-camera markerless motion capture system against gold-standard 3D marker-based motion capture and musculoskeletal models, first in the lab and then in patients' homes, linking biomechanical accuracy to clinically meaningful outcomes.

You will:

• Assess the accuracy of markerless outcome measures against marker-based 3D motion capture and musculoskeletal modelling in people with stroke and Parkinson’s disease.
• Use musculoskeletal modelling to compare markerless and marker-based estimates, evaluate their biomechanical plausibility and perform sensitivity analyses
• Evaluate whether these outcome measures are valid, meaningful, and acceptable in the home environment, in collaboration with patients, caregivers and clinicians
• Generate biomechanically realistic synthetic movement data from musculoskeletal simulations to train and improve markerless motion capture models
• Design and carry out home measurements with a single-camera prototype developed together with Model Health, and compare its real-world performance with lab-based measurements
• Contribute to clinician-facing visualization of the results, with privacy-by-design protection of patients and their home environment

You will translate this into a research plan aimed at peer-reviewed publications, alongside consortium deliverables.

Our offer
You will become part of the funded research program in the Netherlands named 'Care is coming home!', which involves 9 PhDs and 5 Postdocs. So, we offer an excellent inspiring, collaborative, and international research environment, with access to leading experts in medical technology and AI-driven healthcare solutions. Additionally, you will have access to state-of-the-art labs, clinical partners, and patient organisations, which are preconditions to make a meaningful contribution to the future of sustainable healthcare.

• Full-time postdoctoral position for one year, with the possibility of extension by up to two years
• Excellent mentorship and a stimulating international research environment with excellent facilities

Job requirements
We are seeking an ambitious, hands-on postdoctoral researcher who wants to find out whether markerless motion capture truly works for patients, in the lab and at home. You combine a strong engineering background in biomechanics with the communication skills to work directly with clinicians and patients.

You bring:

• A PhD in Biomechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Human Movement Sciences, or a related engineering discipline.
• Hands-on experience with musculoskeletal modelling (e.g., OpenSim, AnyBody), including critical evaluation of model outputs.
• Experience with marker-based 3D motion capture (e.g., Vicon, Qualisys) and force plates, from protocol design to data processing.
• Strong programming skills (e.g., Python and/or MATLAB) for data processing, analysis pipelines, and statistics; experience with markerless or video-based pose estimation (e.g., OpenCap) is a plus.
• Experience with, or a strong motivation to work on, measurements in patient populations, preferably people with stroke or Parkinson’s disease.
• Excellent communication and organization skills to explain technology clearly to clinicians and to work with patients, including in their home environment.
• Willingness to travel regularly to Model Health in Leuven (Belgium), clinical partner sites, and patients' homes in the Netherlands.
• Ability to work independently while thriving in a collaborative, multidisciplinary consortium team.
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken.
• Proficiency in Dutch is strongly preferred, as you will visit patients at home; proficiency in Moroccan Arabic or Turkish is an additional advantage.

If you enjoy bringing biomechanics from the lab to the clinic and into people's homes, this postdoc is the perfect opportunity to make a real impact in home-based neurological monitoring.
