2. Fully Funded PhD in Educational Sciences – HORIZON-EUROPE Project MTSS-K

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Effective and inclusive education systems are the foundations of successful and cohesive societies. Yet, several European education systems are regularly pointed out as being underperforming, inequitable or segregated, as is the case for Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Italy, and Switzerland. Their prevalent ‘wait-to-fail’ model of education particularly affects the most vulnerable students who only receive appropriate pedagogical support when they encounter significant academic challenges, which is sometimes too late for many students. This calls for a drastic change through preventing learning difficulties and providing early intervention measures.

3. Fully Funded PhD in Automated Testing of Autonomous Satellite Operation Orchestrators

Summary of Funded PhD Program

We offer an attractive doctoral position in the context of the ATLAS project, funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) and GomSpace Luxembourg. Specifically, you will contribute to one of the space systems track of ATLAS, which concerns the automated assessment of Autonomous Satellite Operation Orchestrators (ASOOs). ASOOs automate tasks that, a few years ago, were performed manually to minimise costs and improve the quality of service. Unfortunately, physical constraints (e.g., orbits), continuous evolution (e.g., to achieve more autonomy), and the distributed nature of ASOOs make their validation and verification (V&V) costly, ineffective, and nearly infeasible. Our research will lead to a toolset capable of exercising the PUS and REST entry points of those systems, automatically setting up simulation environments, and automatically determining the correctness of execution results.

13. Fully Funded PhD in Ultrafast Physics

Summary of Funded PhD Program

The goal of the experimental activity will be to investigate electron-electron and electron-phonon dynamics in layered and 2D materials, in metallic/semiconducting nanostructures and in strongly correlated systems. We will also exploit the electric field of single cycle pulses to drive ultrafast currents in nanocircuits with the appealing perspective of studying electronic transport in quantized systems with unprecedented temporal resolution. The research activity will be based on the development of novel ultrafast laser sources that work at high repetition rates while keeping the possibility to generate pulses approaching the single-cycle duration combined with broad tunability from UV to the THz frequency range. By pushing the experimental sensitivity to its limits, it will be possible to study fundamental processes in physical systems where dimensionality plays a key role.

15. Fully Funded PhD in Energy Storage Rightsizing for Electric Buses

Summary of Funded PhD Program

This PhD project addresses the question of the optimal setup on an electric bus, with primary focus on the battery and charging methods. The current lack of knowledge regarding energy consumption models has led to the prevalent but inefficient strategy of oversizing batteries, resulting in unnecessary costs and environmental externalities. The project aims to develop advanced learning mechanisms, using real-world data from electric bus fleets and applying federated learning to create energy consumption models that account for variable operating conditions, such as ambient temperature and door opening patterns. Additionally, it will explore how automation—both at the local (bus) and global (fleet) levels—can contribute to energy reduction, investigating whether isolated or system-level automation offers the greatest benefits.

19. Fully Funded PhD in Deployment and Control of a Distributed Telescope as a Formation of Nanosatellites

Summary of Funded PhD Program

This PhD project aims at the development of an improved distributed control of such formations of small satellites, also using a combination of solar and aerodynamic forces for propellant-less control. This will be ideal to deploy, maintain and reconfigure cost-efficiently a large formation of small satellites but requires the detailed modelling of the satellite dynamics, including the effects of aerodynamic forces (caused by the residual atmosphere in LEO) and the solar radiation pressure. After an analysis of optimal formation geometries for Earth observation, suitable orbital guidance and attitude control approaches will be developed and tested, using advanced simulation tools as well as formation flight experiments on a smaller scale with drones.
