The Department of Biomechanical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering Technology (ET) at the human-tech oriented University of Twente in collaboration with the department of Medical Physics at the Amsterdam University Medical Centre, are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join us for a full-time, fully funded, 4-year project to substantially advance our novel … Read more
Project Overview The goal of this project is to create a system capable of autonomously selecting in real time the optimal concrete composition and process parameters to produce the ideal concrete paste for specific applications, so as to reduce material wastage and improve the environmental performance of concrete as a building material. This is a … Read more
This project aims to model the social and physical activity of high school students, measured through sensors and a smartwatch application, in relation to the social, cultural and physical environment. This will allow you to better understand the school environment and to propose interventions to make the school more inclusive. In recent work, we showed … Read more
Society is facing major challenges like circularity, digitalisation and climate adaptation. These challenges have a significant impact on our built environment and the actors that operate in this field. Addressing these challenges requires a fundamental change in how public organisations operate and coordinate themselves and their relations with private parties. This PhD project aims to … Read more

THE CHALLENGE This PhD research will address the health-related challenges individuals encounter at various stages throughout the progression of their health condition. Many health conditions typically involve multiple stages and levels, with each stage being highly interrelated and characterized by changing needs. Examples include, but are not limited to, the gestational stages of pregnancy and … Read more
As part of the Dutch National research program Aviation in Transition, the Production Technology group at the University of Twente has a PhD position on the simulation of a novel assembly technique for thermoplastic composites in a T-joint configuration. Background and challenge Thermoplastic composite materials are considered a prime candidate for the next generation of … Read more
Mudflats, with (micro)algae, salt marsh plants, and seagrasses can be found along many sheltered coasts regulated by the tides. These intertidal areas are, for example, important as feeding grounds for (wader) birds, and for reducing flooding probabilities of the hinterland. The European HE-funded project REWRITE (REWilding and Restoration of InterTidal Sediment Ecosystems for carbon sequestration, … Read more
