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).

[AU]Joint phd program with EUT and Macquarie
Joint PhD Supervision Program with Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands
Context-Aware Ultra-Low Power Wireless Body Area Network Research for Health Monitoring
Recent advances in sensor and wireless communication technologies enable the creation of a new generation of healthcare monitoring systems with wearable electronics and photonics. 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.
If you are interested in this Joint PhD Program and would like to enrol at Macquarie University as your home university, please contact Prof. Eryk Dutkiewicz for further information. If you would like to enrol at Eindhoven University of Technology as your home university, please contact Assis/Prof. Dr Wei Chen for further information.

3) mechanical testing and design of bulk metallic glass composites [FILLED, 9/21/09].
These are available to be filled in the summer, if possible, but can take a fall student, if necessary.
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.

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.

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.

[NL]PhD Position on Identity Management AT TUE
PhD Position on Identity Management for Mobile Devices at the Technische Universiteit
PhD Position on Identity Management for Mobile Devices at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven has a vacancy for a PhD Student Identity Management for Mobile Devices (1.0 fte) (V32.047) within the Eindhoven Institute for the Protection of Systems and Information (EiPSI).
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science provides undergraduate and MSc programs in Mathematics and in Computer Science. The department has research collaborations with other departments at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) as well as with a large number of other universities and companies, both at home and abroad. The Department has approximately 350 employees and more than 700 students.
The Eindhoven Institute for the Protection of Systems and Information (EiPSI) is a TU/e research institute covering the whole technical spectrum of information security and with special focus on methods and techniques to protect digital information against unintended effects and interference, and the study and design of more complex applications in which security goals like confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, reliability, and availability of data play a crucial role. EiPSI started its activities on Oct. 1, 2007. It combines the Coding Theory and Cryptology group in Mathematics with the newly established Security group in Computer Science. More information on EiPSI may be found at EiPSI General information
The PhD position is in the Security group, while the Cryptology group takes part in the supervision. This PhD project is part of a Sentinels funded cooperation of TU/e with Radboud University Nijmegen, TNO/ICT Groningen, TELIN (Telematica Institute) Enschede and Ericsson Research Rijen.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Mobile devices such as GSM phones, PDA’s, RFID, offer a technological platform which can help solving the problems of ID management for the roaming user, as they can be employed as trusted control interface for applications using personal and privacy sensitive information. However, the implementation of identity management concepts on mobile devices with their typical restrictions and features is still a challenge. The aim of the project is to contribute to a solution to give the user full control over his mobile identity (i.e., the digital identity of an entity when using a mobile device), in a flexible and privacy-friendly manner, by relying on their mobile devices as identity proxy and identity agent. The concrete objective for the TU/e PhD project is the development of methods, protocols and tools for the management and handling of private identities and data which allow different degrees of privacy, accountability, and usability. An extensive project description is available on request.

[US](EECS) RA positions in Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech Real-Time实验室招人信息 （ZZ mitbbs）
替实验室老板发信招人，明年秋季入学为主。老板的email是binoy@vt.edu.
Applications are invited from outstanding MS students in Electrical Engineer
ing and Computer Science for PhD positions in Virginia Tech/ECE Department's
Real-Time Systems Laboratory (http://www.real-time.ece.vt.edu/). Several Ph
D positions with full financial support is available on a multi-year, US Nat
ional Science Foundation sponsored project on developing abstractions, algor
ithms, and mechanisms for distributed synchronization using transactional me
mory (TM). Many research groups have recently come to the conclusion that lo
ck-based synchronization is not scalable, seriously error-prone, and non-com
posable, and that TM promises to alleviate many of these difficulties. Furth
ermore, TM is gaining significant traction as the performance and scalabilit
y of experimental TM systems on multicore architectures -- now ubiquitous --
have been found to be excellent---e.g., most chip vendors now provide TM im
plementations (in software or hardware) for their multicore systems.
Virginia Tech's NSF project aims to build upon these emerging results and de
velop distributed transactional memory as a mechanism for distributed synchr
onization. In addition to the previously mentioned problems, lock-based dist
ributed synchronization suffers from the problems of distributed cache coher
ence, node/network failures, and node joins/leaves, and the general difficul
ty of reasoning about, writing, and debugging distributed programs---RPC and
its derivative models are notoriously hard to get right, let alone synchron
izations within such models. Distributed TM promises to alleviate these. Vir
ginia Tech's preliminary results on this can be found in Relay: A Cache-Cohe
rence Protocol for Distributed Transactional Memory, OPODIS 2009; Location-A
ware Cache-Coherence Protocols for Distributed Transactional Contention Mana
gement in Metric-Space Networks, SRDS 2009. The project's goals are to devel
op abstractions, algorithms, and mechanisms for distributed TM and roll out
distributed TM infrastructure software---i.e., run-times, virtual machines,
and OSes.
Students with prior research experience in OSes, virtual machines, compilers
, networking, and distributed algorithms are sought. Prior publication recor
d is a strong plus. Interested students must apply to Virginia Tech's Gradua
te School (http://grads.vt.edu/), and are also strongly encouraged to contac
t Prof. Binoy Ravindran (binoy@vt.edu) with a CV.

[US](CS) RA position in UTA
I am looking for graduate (PhD, Master) and undergraduate students. Financial supports are available.
Bio
I got my PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My Ph.D. advisor is Professor Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang. I worked on the AIM and MetaQuerier projects, in the Database and Information Systems Laboratory. I received my B.S. and M.E. degrees in Computer Science from Department of Computer Science and Technology, Nanjing University, China. I am a member of ACM and SIGMOD.
My interests are in the areas of databases, Web data management, data mining, and information retrieval, with an emphasis on making data retrieval and exploration in emerging applications more effective, efficient, and robust. In particular, ranking and top-k queries, Web search/mining/integration, database exploration, query processing and optimization, social networks and user-generated content, OLAP and data warehousing. Currently we are working on the following projects.
