Metro-Access and Short Range Communication Systems Group
Vision: Photonics, electronics, digital signal processing, microwave and sensor technologies synergistically interacting will become the modern telecommunication infrastructure connecting the end-user to the world and bringing the world into the personal area network.
Research: the scope of our activities is driven by the challenges facing the global telecommunication network of the future to cope with the increasing demand for instant, reliable, any time, anywhere and affordable delivery of broadband services directly to the end-user. In the search for solutions to those challenges, we pursue research in topics spanning transparent interfacing between the core/metropolitan and access area network segments, high capacity access (wavelength division multiplexing –passive optical networks: WDM-PON) technologies, converged signal generation, detection and transport of wireless or wireline signals all the way long from the metro to the indoor (in-home) environment.
Our ongoing research activities can be grouped along the following tracks:
Coherent detection systems supported by DSP techniques for 100 Gbit/s, 400 Gbit/s and beyond systems
High capacity wireless-over-fiber transmission and access systems
Universal digital signal processing (DSP) receiver structures for optical communications
Equalization and error correction techniques
Converged wireline and wireless broadband access network
Techniques and technologies for metro-access interfacing nodes
Cognitive performance and quality of transmission monitoring techniques for advanced modulation and transmission systems
Photonic technologies and techniques for high capacity, narrowly spaced WDM access systems
High capacity short range networking over multimode and polymer fibres for wireless and wireline signals
High speed, high carrier frequency, short range wireless communications links
In-home networking
We foster close cooperation links with other research groups in DTU Fotonik and at other research institutions world wide. Currently, the group has attracted funded research projects from the Danish research council, European Commission FP7, Danish private foundations and DTU scholarships schemes.
Our group has attracted researchers from a wide range of cultural backgrounds to create a dynamic and enthusiastic research environment. Our team members have educational and cultural backgrounds from Denmark, Russia, Colombia, South Africa, China, Jamaica, Australia, and The Netherlands.

Vision: Photonics, electronics, digital signal processing, microwave and sensor technologies synergistically interacting will become the modern telecommunication infrastructure connecting the end-user to the world and bringing the world into the personal area network.
Research: the scope of our activities is driven by the challenges facing the global telecommunication network of the future to cope with the increasing demand for instant, reliable, any time, anywhere and affordable delivery of broadband services directly to the end-user. In the search for solutions to those challenges, we pursue research in topics spanning transparent interfacing between the core/metropolitan and access area network segments, high capacity access (wavelength division multiplexing –passive optical networks: WDM-PON) technologies, converged signal generation, detection and transport of wireless or wireline signals all the way long from the metro to the indoor (in-home) environment.
Our ongoing research activities can be grouped along the following tracks:
Coherent detection systems supported by DSP techniques for 100 Gbit/s, 400 Gbit/s and beyond systems
High capacity wireless-over-fiber transmission and access systems
Universal digital signal processing (DSP) receiver structures for optical communications
Equalization and error correction techniques
Converged wireline and wireless broadband access network
Techniques and technologies for metro-access interfacing nodes
Cognitive performance and quality of transmission monitoring techniques for advanced modulation and transmission systems
Photonic technologies and techniques for high capacity, narrowly spaced WDM access systems
High capacity short range networking over multimode and polymer fibres for wireless and wireline signals
High speed, high carrier frequency, short range wireless communications links
In-home networking
We foster close cooperation links with other research groups in DTU Fotonik and at other research institutions world wide. Currently, the group has attracted funded research projects from the Danish research council, European Commission FP7, Danish private foundations and DTU scholarships schemes.
Our group has attracted researchers from a wide range of cultural backgrounds to create a dynamic and enthusiastic research environment. Our team members have educational and cultural backgrounds from Denmark, Russia, Colombia, South Africa, China, Jamaica, Australia, and The Netherlands.
We would like to hear from highly motivated and qualified candidates interested in PhD studies, PhD guest/exchange research stays in our group. We also welcome candidates interested in a postdoctoral stay, candidates for Marie-Curie Grants and other grants. If you be interested in our research or have any enquires, you are very welcome to contact us for further information.

4) Solid knowledge and experience on signal (image) processing, machine learning, and data mining.
5) Solid knowledge and experience on developing optimization algorithms and probabilistic models
Our research includes Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and intelligent sensing-based infrastructure system management. The research focuses include:
a) development of sensing-based intelligent roadway asset inventory and management system
-.developing intelligent roadway sign asset inventory and management systems using image and LiDAR processing and recognition.
-.developing automatic pavement condition evaluation system by processing downward pavement images and LiDAR data.
b) developing an intelligent workzone intrusion vehicle detection and warning system using image-based object detection, recognition, and tracking algorithms.
c) developing spatial optimization and stochastic models and algorithms to facilitate large-scale pavement maintenance and rehabilitation decision making process;
d) developing logistics models for large-scale port management.
Research projects are described below:
current research project sponsored by the National Academy of Science (NAS) NCHRP IDEA program on “Development of Sensing System for Highway Workzone Hazard Awareness.” Computer vision, along with other innovative sensors, will be developed to track moving vehicles and pedestrians. In addition, to develop a reliable hazard warning system, a probabilistic model will be developed to quantify the estimation and prediction uncertainties caused by sensing technology.
current research project sponsored by Georgia Logistics Innovation Center to develop a maritime awareness system for automatically detecting and recognizing waterway activities (e.g. containers, vessels, dolphins, environmental problems, etc.) through Savannah Port.
upcoming research project sponsored by the US DOT for developing a Remote-Sensing and GIS-enabled Asset Management System (RS-GAMS). Different state of the art scanning laser technology will be equipped on a van to collect 3D LiDAR data along with image data that is collected using cameras and infrared ray cameras. Intelligent signal processing and object recognition algorithms will be developed to automatically detect and recognize roadway assets, including signs, guardrails, pavement markings, cross slopes, etc.. In addition, 0.5 mm resolution high-performance downward LiDAR will be used to automatically detect pavement surface macro-texture and construction defects, such as segregation, as well as pavement distresses, including cracks, rutting, raveling, etc. Spatial data integration using GPS, IMU, GPS, DMI, etc. will be applied to integrate different data sources. And spatial data fusion methods will be developed to extract features of interest, such as pavement distresses, abnormal maco-texture. It is expected we will analyze pavement texture characteristics at macro level and then extend to micro and nano levels in the future for developing safe, quiet, smooth, and long-life pavements.

09/193 – 2 PhD positions in bone regeneration
The Faculty of Science and Technology (700 faculty members, 1100 students) offers a range of bachelor and master courses (NanoTechnology, Applied Physics, Chemical Engineering and Technical Medicine). The faculty’s research is organized in three of the university’s interdisciplinary research institutes: MESA+, MIRA, and IMPACT. These institutes increase the vitality of research by enabling collaboration between programs and disciplines, by providing shared facilities, and by attracting funding for joint projects. They also provide a conduit to industrial and other external partners.
2 Ph.D positions (4 years) in bone regeneration: development of novel materials and high-throughput screening of their biological performance
Job description
The department of Tissue Regeneration at the MIRA Institute for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine, University of Twente (The TR department) is dedicated to develop new strategies for the treatment of bone and cartilage defects. Recently, our lab developed synthetic osteo-inductive ceramics, materials which are able to actively stimulate bone regeneration and which are now clinically evaluated as alternative for autologous bone grafting. Fueled by this, we are currently developing a new generation of inductive ceramics by further improving the inductive potential as well as the handling and mechanical properties.
In this project we are looking for two PhD students. One student will engage in development of a family of novel biomaterials, by modifying their physico-chemical properties and by the preparation of composites of ceramics and polymers. The other student will set up a high throughput screening system to evaluate the bone forming capacity of ceramics in vitro. Micro-array technology will be used to assess the biological response of stem cells to ceramics and be correlated to their ability to induce bone formation in animal models using bio-informatic analysis.
Requirements
We are now recruiting two PhD students. One candidate should have a Master’s degree in chemistry or engineering and affinity with biomaterials and orthopaedics. The other candidate, with a biomedical background should be keen to apply molecular biology to solve a medical problem. Expertise in bio-informatics is recommended.
Outstanding knowledge of scientific English both in speaking and in reading is required.
Terms of employment
The Tissue Regeneration Group, led by Prof. Clemens van Blitterswijk is a part of the MIRA – Institute for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine at the University of Twente (The TR department). We offer a top level research and academic environment with excellent opportunities for personal development. The assignment is for 4 years, with a go/no-go assessment at the end of the first year. The candidates are expected to finish the project with a PhD thesis and disseminate the results through publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at international conferences. The starting salary will be € 2042, – in the first year and up to € 2612, – gross per month in the last year.
Applications
Questions about the project on biomaterials development should be directed to Dr. Pamela Habibovic (p.habibovic@tnw.utwente.nl). For information about the high-throughput screening project, please contact Dr. Jan de Boer (j.deboer@tnw.utwente.nl).

This research intends to develop a platform (for example an intelligent jacket) and associated algorithms and protocols to support ultra-low power wireless body area networks (e.g. 60 GHz or UWB WBANs) to monitor various vital health parameters, such as ECG, respiration, EEG, EMG, etc. The research will consist of platform design, WBAN protocol development, system performance optimization and user testing.
1. Platform design and WBAN protocol development
Firstly, the format of the general platform will be investigated. The research in this part will include defining the health monitoring functions an intelligent platform (e.g. intelligent jacket) could have, investigating what kind of electronic and optical sensors will be suitable for the general platform, and determining what advantages and limitations an intelligent jacket will bring to the users. Secondly, research to determine the strategy will be carried out for integrating different electronic and optical sensors on the general platform. In this part, the research focus will be on the size, numbers and locations of sensors for obtaining reliable sensing results. Thirdly, a WBAN will be designed and established by integrating different sensors and a low power wireless front end on the platform. WBAN protocols will be developed to support the targeted health monitoring applications.
2. System performance optimization and user testing
During the phase of technology integration, performance optimization will be carried out. A platform will be configured for several applications and will support dynamic adaptability. Physical and MAC layer protocol design and optimization for combating noise and interference and for minimizing energy consumption and maximizing throughput will be carried out. Adaptive context aware sensing and communication will be investigated. The proposed WBANs system will be built and validated via user testing either in hospital or at other locations, depending on applications. The system trade-offs will be investigated. One interesting application could be neonatal monitoring at hospitals for the health status of newborn babies. According to feedback from the user testing, the WBAN system will be further refined.
The project will be conducted at Wireless Networking and Communications Laboratory, Department of Physics and Engineering, Macquarie University, Australia and Designed Intelligence Group, Department of Industrial Design, Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands. Supervisors for the PhD student will be Prof. Eryk Dutkiewicz from Macquarie University, Assis/Prof. Dr. Wei Chen, and Prof. dr. ir. Loe Feijs from Eindhoven University of Technology. Interested applicants can apply for admission to either Macquarie University or Eindhoven University of Technology as the primary home institution. The two universities will then prepare a joint PhD supervision agreement for the successful applicant, enabling the applicant to enrol and carry out the research simultaneously at both institutions. The applicant will be expected to spend approximately half of the PhD study period at each university. Each university will carry out the PhD thesis examination according to its own examination processes. Upon successful completion of the research program, the applicant will receive two separate PhD degree certificates – one from each university. For funding support opportunities please contact the home university of your choice.

Gerald Frankel
Position: 1 of 2 PhD for Autumn 2009, funding confirmed, "Study of micro-defects in electropolished, electron-beam welded, niobium structures" (joint project with Dr. Michael Sumption who will advise the second GRA opening).
Superconducting accelerating structures (SRF cavities) are being designed using electron-beam (EB) welded Nb cavities. However, these cavities suffer from a number of issues related to surface defects that seem to be associated with welding, polishing, electropolishing (EP), or some combination of these efforts. A strong fundamental understanding of Nb electropolishing at the materials level has not yet been developed, which leads to one of the major thrusts of this proposal. The Fontana Corrosion Center is a well established group working in corrosion and corrosion-based chemistry. Scientists from the corrosion group will perform EP on EB welded tokens both close to and remote from the weld seam and then these tokens will be characterized in terms of their resultant microstructures and surface properties, associating the results with variations of process parameters. The student will work closely with another in the Laboratory for Applied Superconductivity and Magnetism (LASM) whose task will be to study fabrication of SRF cavities by hydroforming. Issues in need of investigation in support of the possible future development of hydroformed cavities on a large scale have to do with microstructural changes in response to deformation especially in the neck areas. Ultimately, the goals of the project are to (i) understand and control the EP process better, and (ii) understand and control the process of hydrostatic cavity formation better, in each case with the goal of increased gradient values and gradient reproducibility for SRF cavities.

Position: 1 PhD opening for Autumn 2009, funding confirmed. Contact Dr. Sumption for further details. [5/6/09]
Position: 1 of 2 PhD for Autumn 2009, funding confirmed, "Study of micro-defects in electropolished, electron-beam welded, niobium structures" (joint project with Dr. Jerry Frankel who will advise the second GRA opening).
Superconducting accelerating structures (SRF cavities) are being designed using electron-beam (EB) welded Nb cavities. However, these cavities suffer from a number of issues related to surface defects that seem to be associated with welding, polishing, electropolishing (EP), or some combination of these efforts. A strong fundamental understanding of Nb electropolishing at the materials level has not yet been developed, which leads to one of the major thrusts of this proposal. The Fontana Corrosion Center is a well established group working in corrosion and corrosion-based chemistry. Scientists from the corrosion group will perform EP on EB welded tokens both close to and remote from the weld seam and then these tokens will be characterized in terms of their resultant microstructures and surface properties, associating the results with variations of process parameters. The student will work closely with another in the Laboratory for Applied Superconductivity and Magnetism (LASM) whose task will be to study fabrication of SRF cavities by hydroforming. Issues in need of investigation in support of the possible future development of hydroformed cavities on a large scale have to do with microstructural changes in response to deformation especially in the neck areas. Ultimately, the goals of the project are to (i) understand and control the EP process better, and (ii) understand and control the process of hydrostatic cavity formation better, in each case with the goal of increased gradient values and gradient reproducibility for SRF cavities.
