2 PhD positions in Measuring the Future of Power Electronics at the University of Twente University of Twente in Netherlands

The University of Twente is recruiting two fully funded PhD researchers to join the EU Chips Joint Undertaking project Moore4Power and advance the measurement science needed for next-generation power electronics. The project focuses on the challenge of accurately measuring ultra-efficient converters built with wide-bandgap semiconductor devices such as SiC and GaN , where losses are so small that bandwidth, traceability, calibration, and uncertainty analysis become critical. The two PhD projects...

PhD opportunity at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in collaboration with Stedin This PhD focuses on future energy infrastructure planning under uncertainty , with a strong emphasis on energy system modelling , grid planning , optimization , and socio-technical transitions . The project addresses urgent challenges faced by grid operators such as Stedin, who must make near-term investment decisions for a carbon-neutral, robust, cost-effective, and socially acceptable energy system. The r...

PhD opportunity at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), Amsterdam in inverse problems for wave-based imaging , with a strong emphasis on mathematics , partial differential equations , numerical methods , and scientific computing . The project sits in the Computational Imaging group at CWI and focuses on developing a new mathematical and computational framework for imaging from wave measurements. The research combines PDE-based modelling with data-driven reduced-order modelling to improve robust...

PhD position in Electrical Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology This doctoral project, TERMINATOR (funded by FFI Nollutsläpp ), investigates how fast-switching silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) power electronics affect the long-term reliability of electric motors. The research focuses on two major degradation mechanisms: electrothermal stress that accelerates aging of motor insulation, and bearing currents that damage mechanical bearings under high dv/dt operation. The ...
