1. Fully Funded PhD Programs in PRE-MADONA: Governance Structures for the Digital Transformation of Mass-Scale Renovation Processes
Summary of PhD Project
As a PhD candidate responsible for developing a multi-layered governance framework for digitally transforming renovation processes, you will design governance structures to guide the implementation and upscaling of PRE-MADONA’s envisaged digital ecosystem. As part of your project, you will address issues like data privacy and ownership, distribution of responsibilities and accountability, and technology access on organisational, project and district level, and explore how digital technologies impact stakeholders’ perception of and interaction in renovation workflows under organisational, local, and national regulatory constraints.

2. Fully Funded PhD Programs in PRE-MADONA: Generative Design of Mass Energy Renovation Projects
Summary of PhD Project
Transitioning to renovation flows demands the development of a set of support tools that can leverage a wealth of available and to-be-collected data to support mass renovation projects. Depending on how the process is initiated, these tools should support clustering similar houses (e.g., in terms of location, morphology, surrounding environment, access to energy grid, etc.) that would be suitable for the implementation of standardised renovation solutions from different perspectives (suppliers, clients, housing associations, etc.).

3. Fully Funded PhD Programs in PRE-MADONA: Digital Coordination for Mass-Scale Renovation Construction Processes
Summary of PhD Project
As the PhD responsible for co-development of Virtual Coordination Platform for Cluster-based Renovation Workflows, you will be exploring the needs in planning and programming renovation construction activities. You co-design coordination processes and create supportive planning technologies for infrastructure and building owners and contractors – who will be jointly planning clusters renovation processes in larger urban spaces. As part of your project, you also address planning data exchange, which mean that you contribute to the development of the Renovation Digital Twin concept (led by Saxion).

4. Fully Funded PhD Programs in MULTILAYER GROWTH OPTIMIZATION BY HYBRID X-RAY METROLOGY (MOXY
Summary of PhD Project
Nanometer-thin films are enabling factors in many advanced technology fields such as photovoltaics, wear resistance, optics, and many more. Due to their thickness often being only a few nm or even below, one major challenge in designing and improving thin film devices is characterizing the properties of the synthesized nanometer thin films and their interaction with neighboring layers and their environment. In particular for complex structures such as multi-layers of alternating materials, it becomes a real challenge to uniquely extract information on their layer properties in order to understand and improve their performance.

5. Fully Funded PhD Programs in the pilot scale production of hollow fiber membranes and prototype dialyzers for improved dialysis therapy
Summary of PhD Project
Most patients with kidney failure receive dialysis therapy, because of a donor organ shortage. Unfortunately, current filters cannot remove all toxins from patients’ blood, especially protein-bound uremic toxins, leading to high mortality and poor quality of life. Moreover, dialysis therapy requires lots of water. This research project aims to establish pilot scale production of hollow fiber membranes and prototype dialyzers for improved dialysis therapy.

6. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Futuring for Resilient Urban Spaces
Summary of PhD Project
Cities need to develop long-term plans for the future of their living environments and infrastructures amidst dynamic challenges like population growth, climate uncertainties and sustainability transitions. To plan resilient urban spaces that promote social cohesion and well-being in an inclusive way, new methods are needed that combine resident perspectives with scientific expertise. But: How can we integrate tools and practices coming from different scientific fields to contest and reconceptualize ways of collectively exploring tomorrow’s living environments?

7. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Closed-loop testing for faster and better EM evaluation of complex high-tech systems
Summary of PhD Project
To expose objects to electromagnetic fields we step to a new position, increase power level until a defined value is read by a meter but this very, very slow and the main problem is the slow meter response time therefore the key question is how electronic products react on electromagnetic interference and we would like that you help us to solve that problem!

8. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Enabling Membrane-Based Industrial Effluent Reuse using Model Predictive Control
Summary of PhD Project
The Netherlands is a water-scarce country. We therefore need to focus on circular reuse of water within industrial and drinking water settings, and minimizing energy and water footprints in separation processes. Although membrane separations are mature and energy-efficient processes, widespread adoption of this technology for industrial wastewater reuse has not been achieved yet. A major reason is the highly variable nature of industrial wastewater.

9. Fully Funded PhD Programs in VIA PRUDENTI – Collaborative Infrastructure and Asset Management Practices
Summary of PhD Project
This PhD project aims to experiment with unique shared service centres to coordinate and conduct asset management and maintenance activities across infrastructure networks in the Netherlands. Together with our research partners from Next Generation Infrastructure network, the PhD candidate will be in the lead to develop organisational principles and action perspectives that help infrastructure agencies to collaboratively maintain our roads, bridges, waterways, electricity networks and railways.

10. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Advancing Kinematic Couplings for Precision Alignment Applications
Summary of PhD Project
This PhD project explores the frontier of passive kinematic couplings—mechanical interfaces that achieve sub-micron alignment without actuators, sensors, or control systems. You’ll tackle fundamental challenges such as initial misalignment, thermal drift, and load response, and develop novel coupling designs that are both theoretically rigorous and practically impactful. Your work will contribute to next-generation solutions in optics, metrology, semiconductor manufacturing, and medical technology—where precision meets simplicity.

11. Fully Funded PhD Programs in contribute to a project crafting the future of healthcare decision making
Summary of PhD Project
In the section Health Technology and Services research at the University of Twente, we believe in making healthcare decisions that truly reflect the needs and values of patients. For that purpose, we are participating in a large international project dedicated to revolutionizing patient-centered decision making in healthcare with partners from different universities, industry and patient organizations. Within this project, we offer two PhD positions. The project contains different workstreams, and the PhD’s will be working along senior staff to perform tasks in different workstreams, in strong collaboration with multiple international partners and fellow PhDs from all over the world.

12. Fully Funded PhD Programs in design and fabrication of MEMS drag force-based flow and fluid composition sensors
Summary of PhD Project
In this project, we will combine well-known thermal flow sensing principles with micromachined mechanical sensors that measure the flow through the bending or displacement of a mechanical structure. In this way, we expect that, in addition to mass flow, many relevant gas parameters can be measured, such as thermal conductivity, density, specific heat, and dynamic viscosity.
