A 3 year PhD scholarship is available at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Section for Manufacturing Engineering.
Expected starting date: As soon as possible.
Job description
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is seeking a PhD student for the topic “Geometrical metrology of complex systems”. The PhD student will be working as a part of the project “Yaw Drive Unit – Novel Yaw Bearing and Drive Unit for Wind Turbines” which is funded by the Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation. The PhD project encompasses research activities involving coordinate metrology using tactile and optical probes, surface texture characterization, data fusion, mathematical modeling, and functionality analyses. The aim of this project is to develop methods, equipment and reference artefacts to achieve traceable geometrical measurements on complex systems, as a tool to link dimensions, form and surface topography with functionality. The project will be carried out together with a project team involving DTU Mechanical Engineering as well as industrial companies.
Qualifications
Candidates should have a master’s degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree in engineering. Candidates with prior knowledge on geometrical metrology are preferred.
Approval and enrolment
Scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programs at DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide.
Salary and appointment terms
