Australia: Software Engineering Research Scholarship
Project title:
Probabilistic Verification and Model-Based Quality Evaluation
Research topic:
Model Based Development (MBD) has established itself as the key approach to software engineering of increasingly complex systems in automotive and aerospace domains. It has proved successful at managing complexity associated with functionality. A new approach is to use model-based techniques also for quality evaluation and predictions. Since most of quality attributes such as performance, reliability, availability, safety, and security have a probabilistic nature, probabilistic verification techniques are the best solution to perform model-based quality evaluation. The research project shall explore the possibilities of probabilistic modelling and verification techniques to reason about quality attributes early in the software development lifecycle. To get a detailed introduction into this research project please have a look at the following background literature:
-Controller dependability analysis by probabilistic model checking (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.conengprac.2006.07.003)
-Quantitative risk-based security prediction for component-based systems with explicitly modeled attack profiles (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.2007.11.716)
-Early quality prediction of component-based systems – A generic framework (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.2006.08.014)
Your Benefits:
Basically, the benefits can be summarised as follows:
* You will work on real-world research problems. (There will always be opportunities to cooperate with major software and systems engineering companies.)
* You will be trained in all skills that are required to successfully finish you research project. Our goal is to help you develop the skills, connections, and opportunities required, that ensure a successful postgraduate career.
* You will create research outputs at the highest standards. In today’s world, it is not only enough to be good, students must be great and competitive compared to other graduate students. Please have a look at our own research outputs.
* You will get optimal and continuous supervision. My goal is to give you strong support on your research from a technical side. However, we also try to help my students to develop their personal skills. If you like to know more about my supervision style, we can provide contact details of recently graduated students as reference.
* You study in a friendly and cooperative environment. Australia is known for its friendliness.
We require:
We are interested in a PhD student who has an excellent academic record (first class honours or equivalent with marks above 85%) with background in one or more of the following areas:

PhD: Development of a Surgical Force & Motion Analysis System
Department/faculty: Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering
Level: Master degree
Working hours: 38 hours per week (1 FTE)
Contract: This position has a temporary employment basis of four years (48 months).
Salary: Maximum of € 2558 per month gross with full-time employment
Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering
The 3ME Faculty trains committed engineering students and PhD candidates in groundbreaking scientific research in the fields of mechanical, maritime and materials engineering. 3ME is the epitome of a dynamic, innovative faculty, with a European scope that contributes demonstrable economic and social benefits.
The Department of Biomechanical Engineering coordinates education and research activities in the field of mechanical engineering techniques, including modeling and design, to analyze the interaction between medical, biological and technical systems. An important aspect of the research topics is how surgeons control their instruments during complex surgical procedures. For more information see www.misit.nl.
Job description
Minimally invasive surgical techniques require special manual skills. Accurate control of the surgical instruments is of utmost importance for dexterous performance and patient safety. To obtain automated assessment of dexterity, registration of instrument motion and forces is necessary. Combining motion analysis with an analysis of the forces enables the development of metrics and feedback systems to support the surgeon. In this project, the PhD student will integrate motion capture of the surgical instruments with force sensing into one measurement system, as well as develop analysis tools for assessment of skills in surgical tasks. The developed measurement and analysis tools should finally result in the clinical implementation of a surgical training system. The international nature of the research offers opportunities to travel and to work abroad. An applicability orientation is reflected by the department’s support to start-up companies.
The project is funded by Medical Delta - Health, Science & Technology (www.medicaldelta.nl), a consortium of Delft University of Technology, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Erasmus University Medical Centre Rotterdam (Erasmus MC), Leiden University and Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC). The research is conducted in close collaboration with LUMC and covers one clinical PhD student at LUMC and one in Biomechanical Engineering at DUT.
Requirements
The Department of Biomechanical Engineering is looking for outstanding engineers with an M.Sc. degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and/or biomedical engineering. The candidate should have a broad interest in mechanical design and sensor technology, preferably with experience in the field of human-machine interaction. Experience in programming languages such as Matlab or C++ is a requisite. The candidate must have an affinity for working in the medical field.
Conditions of employment
TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, a free ADSL connection at home, and the opt
