TU/e - Teaching Assistants Electromagnetic Compatibility (5SVB0)

We are looking for teaching assistants (TA) who would like to contribute to the improvement of the EMC course. The ideal candidate is a Master student, who is an electromagnetics enthusiast, has passed the EMC course already and wants to contribute to its improvement. 

The main tasks involve:

-        Improving the lab assignments. For instance: improve the practical setups, improve the questionnaire, improve the grading process, etc.
-        Finish the solution manual. The proposed exercises for each unit of the course still lack a solution manual. Some former TAs started with this task, but there are still several units missing.
-        Improve the quality and quantity of the in-class demonstrations and experiments. If time allows, work on new demos.

So, if you would like to contribute to the ever-increasing quality of education at our faculty, please send contact information and/or questions to:

TU/e - Student assistant for electronically actuated soft matter

 We have a vacancy available for a student assistant with a background in EE, in the field of advanced materials for soft robotic applications at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), The Netherlands

Research background
Soft robotics is a relatively new subfield of robotics that deals with constructing robotic functions from compliant materials. Soft technologies and integrated soft systems can revolutionize the use of robotic devices, for instance in applications where elastic versatility and safe human/machine interactions are needed. It is predicted, and certainly has the potential, to lead to the development of radically new generations of machines. The examples are numerous. In the medical world, they will increasingly assist surgery, in-vivo therapeutic treatments or contribute to the rehabilitation of disabilities by exoskeletons. Soft robotic functions have the perspective to enhance the communication between man and machine or between machines mutually. We foresee that we can make materials that can feel, sense, behave and act as human skins, but with enhanced sensitivity and accuracy. They can be used as stand-alone and autonomous devices, but also be applied as coating or integrated with electronics or even with biological material to perform functions not accessible otherwise. And as a long-term perspective one can foresee the development of evolutionary self-developing soft robotics following nature’s approach to intelligent soft machines.

Projects description

You will be joining a multidisciplinary research group, where we develop responsive materials that address the advancing needs in man-machine communication, specialized medicine and miniaturized mechanics. More information can be found at www.danqingliu.nl.

A key aspect of our projects is to translate molecular effects to macroscopic phenomena which, in turn translate into (robotic) devices, and especially haptic applications. You will join a team where you will be responsible for developing electrical circuits to address material actuation!

Profile
We are looking for talented, motivated and student assistant who meet the following requirements:
  • Skills in electric engineering. 
  • Basic experience with programming is much appreciated.
  • Prior knowledge in soft matters, responsive materials and experience in microscopic techniques and device fabrication/ characterization are appreciated.
  • Ability to independently work within a dynamic team and multidisciplinary research environment.
  • Fluent in spoken and written English.

Salary is based on the experience of the students.

TU/e - Student-assistant Study+ Group

Join our network!

Students may need extra support during their studies due to a disability, chronic illness or mental health issues. Extra support is also for students who are caregivers or have/are expecting a child. 

The TU/e has been improving her policy on studying with extra support since 2020. However, to make information about and guidance for studying with extra support more accessible to all students, we are looking for students who want to help us with this!


We are looking for student-assistants who will contribute to and supervise a community for 1 day a week (8 hours) that facilitates activities and student-to-student communication on studying with extra support. Your contributions consider organizing relevant activities, being the ears and eyes for students who need extra support during their studies and communicate this when needed to people who are responsible or can initiate a change (e.g. the student advisory committee). Moreover, a platform was build to enable students to ask each other for advice or share experiences. This platform has already been built by us, but has to be monitored. 


In addition, we are looking for students who want to join our advisory committee. We advise the university and come up with new plans to put studying with extra support on the map. We have meetings every 2 months.


To join or help us you don’t have to be a student with extra support!

Are you interested in contributing and supervising the platform and/or joining our advisory committee? Send an email to lighthouse@tue.nl

TU/e - MSC project: Continuous monitoring of human biomarkers for real-time health monitoring

Continuous monitoring of human biomarkers for real-time health monitoring
The Mission
The future of health will require radical new
techniques and approaches to bring forward
the required improvement in accuracy and
timeliness of monitoring and diagnostics of
patients. There is a growing scientific,
commercial and societal interest in using light
for carrying out such monitoring functions
alleviating the need of invasive methods such
a micro-needles.
The use of light offers the ability to perform
spectral measurement and to detect subtle
small changes/quantities in different bodily
fluids.
The ECO group in the TU/e is partnering with a Swiss med-tech start-up company Spiden AG, to
leverage their proprietary spectroscopy methods by exploiting the knowhow in laser modulation and
signal processing at the ECO group.
The MSc graduation task
The MSc graduation task will be to investigate the use of laser modulation and their electronic drive,
in combination with advanced signal post-processing to extract valuable health markers and establish
feasibility for the detection of various biomarkers and compounds in different body fluids. The work
will be carried mostly in TU/e ECO labs but will include a period on site in Switzerland1
, to compare
the developed lasing drive schemes with state-of-the-art bench-top laser systems. The student will
be supported from the TU/e by staff members (Dr. Chigp Okonkwo and Dr. Oded Raz) as well as get
guidance from the start-up company (Dr. Jens Hofrichter, Dr. Jean-Christophe Blancon). We expect
that by the end of the project, the student will be able to report on the feasibility of using modulated
laser light (with carefully designed modulation signal) with robust signal processing algorithms to
detect desired analytes in human fluids. It is further expected that the student will be able to
evaluate the attractiveness of obtained solution in terms of its scalability and cost effectiveness to
assess its market potential (in collaboration with Spiden’s Strategy & Operations team). A truly
unique opportunity for a student to gain experience from scientific research to commercial impact.
The candidate
• Basic understanding of electronic modulation techniques
• Basic understanding of laser physics and optics
• Programming skills in Matlab and/or FPGA based platforms
• Enthusiasm to push the frontiers of research by using light for medical diagnostics and healthcare
Apply now!
• Dr. Oded Raz o.raz@tue.nl
