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.

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).
Applications should consist of an application/motivation letter and a detailed CV. Please mention vacancy number 09/193.
