About this position

This PhD project is based at the Electromechanics and Power Electronics (EPE) group at Eindhoven University of Technology and focuses on the next generation of power conversion for data centers. The research sits at the intersection of power electronics, control systems, and grid integration, with direct industrial collaboration with Delta Energy System GmbH, a company active in power conversion for data centers.

The project centers on solid-state transformers (SSTs) for data-center applications, with particular emphasis on the DC-DC stage. The doctoral researcher will investigate converter design and advanced control/modulation strategies aimed at improving power density, efficiency, and controllability while supporting stable operation in demanding digital infrastructure. A further part of the work is experimental validation of the developed design, linking theory, simulation, and prototype-level testing.

The advertised research is positioned within TU/e’s broader environment of high-tech collaboration and applied engineering research. It is intended to contribute to more sustainable AI infrastructure by enabling better integration of renewable energy sources and supporting grid stability in rapidly growing data-center systems.

Funding details

Full-time PhD employment for 4 years with salary scale P: €3,204–€4,051 gross base salary per month, plus 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% year-end bonus.

What's required

A master's degree (or equivalent university degree) in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Control Systems, or a related field is required. Applicants should have a research-oriented attitude with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, be able to work in an interdisciplinary team, and be interested in collaborating with industrial partners. The post values demonstrated knowledge of power converter topologies (e.g. DC-DC, AC-DC, multilevel converters), familiarity with control theory (e.g. classical control, state-space methods, model predictive control), experience with simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink or PLECS, and understanding of grid integration challenges such as power quality, stability, and renewable energy interfacing. Hands-on prototyping and experimental validation experience, as well as affinity with embedded systems (DSP, FPGA) for real-time control implementation, are advantageous. The candidate should be motivated to develop teaching skills and coach students.
