Optimisation Professors and Supervisors in Netherlands

This PhD project at Delft University of Technology focuses on safe planning and decision-making for long-horizon robot autonomy under uncertainty. The work sits in the Cognitive Robotics Department and is embedded in the Reliable Robot Control Lab , within the EU-funded OPERA consortium. You will develop methods that help robots operate among people over extended time spans while balancing deliberate planning with fast, reactive behavior. The central research challenge is to make robots act safe...

This postdoctoral project at Eindhoven University of Technology focuses on optimization-driven verification and validation for precision machines such as semiconductor equipment, metrology systems, and advanced manufacturing tools. The aim is to uncover rare but critical “unknown-unsafe” operating scenarios before machines are built, so that high-tech systems can be qualified more efficiently and with greater confidence. You will extend a V&V framework that was originally developed for automated...

The University of Groningen is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in Supply Chain Resilience for a one-year position focused on quantitative research at the intersection of critical materials, clean energy technologies, sustainability, and global supply chains. This project investigates how disruptions propagate through supply chains across material extraction, processing, manufacturing, use, and recycling. The research will examine vulnerabilities arising from international trade dependencies, c...
