Postdoc position on development of impedance eduction techniques at NLR/TUDelft
Job description
The postdoc will work in the ERC funded project MORASINA, for the study of the distortion of rotors in proximity to surfaces. The postdoc will join a Team of 3 PhDs. The candidate will carry out the following activities:
- experimentally study the flow pattern distortion of rotors in close proximity to corners in vertical take-off and descent phase.
- help in the development of an acoustic controller to anticipate the unsafe and uncontrollable delays based on a neural-network approach informed with the parameters of the vehicle.
- innovate with the development of rotors insensitive to turbulence by using a genetic algorithm as profile generator.
Requirements
The candidate should have:
- a PhD in Engineering, Physics or Mathematics, an area relevant to the subject,
- good analytical skills and a strong interest in performing experiments is required.
- a solid knowledge of signal processing and mathematical theories,
- advanced programming skills are advantageous for these positions.
As the project is part of a larger research program, practical interactions and collaborative skills are important too.
