Collaborate & Learn: TU Delft and AIT
Challenge: Renewable energy transition
Change: Turn data into knowledge for efficient systems
Impact: Boost the sustainable, reliable energy transition
Jobdescription
TU Delft is a top ten university and is exceedingly active in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with a strong expertise in energy systems. Energy systems are the backbone of our modern society, but are becoming increasingly complex and challenging to operate as renewable energy, heating and transport sectors are integrated into the system. It’s crucially important that energy systems are sustainable, reliable and effective, now and in the future. TU Delft’s research investigates how the new area of data-driven and scientific computing can contribute to managing energy systems.
We combine ground-breaking machine learning with the reliable theory of the physical energy system. The area of data-driven scientific computing promises to combine statistics, time-frequency analysis, low-dimensional model reductions, and other techniques to extract information from data. With machine learning, we make such information useful for the management of complex energy systems. For example, it is possible to use neural networks to model differential equations that describe dynamics, and for predicting extreme, rare events. Together, the Intelligent Electrical Power Grids research section and the Delft AI Energy Lab has currently a team of 20+ researchers investigating data-driven scientific modelling for their applicability to complex energy systems. There, you will work closely with Associate Prof Dr. Simon Tindemans and Assistant Prof Dr. Jochen Cremer. You will extend the team and integrate your own ambitious research program within our research visions.
This Postdoc research project is on the theme of sampling operating conditions and network configurations of time-varying systems, closely along a PhD researcher. Along with your colleagues, you will apply probability theory to the transmission and distribution electricity systems. Your work is foundational and we expect a high impact as many machine learning tasks require synthetic generated data. However, currently, the models to generate data have errors due to shifts in data or modelling inaccuracies. Society and grid operators require urgently novel methods to sample various grid topologies and operating conditions, so the energy transition can be accelerated. These sampled conditions require to be physically feasible, relevant and important for the downstream machine learning task. Your methods will be generalizable to many machine learning tasks, resolving an issue typically hindering the adoption of machine learning workflows - the “lack of data”.
This research is part of a multi-partner, large-scale international collaboration with TenneT, EPRI, INESC TEC, DTU and others. You will closely work with our international partners to maximise success of your Postdoc project. There, your task is to design a data synthesizer that realises the methods you develop. You will integrate this synthesizer into a platform so other can test, experiment and verify the next level of AI-application for the Delft Control Room of the Future (CRoF).
Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context.
At TU Delft we embrace diversity as one of our core values and we actively engage to be a university where you feel at home and can flourish. We value different perspectives and qualities. We believe this makes our work more innovative, the TU Delft community more vibrant and the world more just. Together, we imagine, invent and create solutions using technology to have a positive impact on a global scale. That is why we invite you to apply. Your application will receive fair consideration.
Challenge. Change. Impact!
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three scientific disciplines. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we all use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make completely sustainable and future-proof. At the same time, we are developing the chips and sensors of the future, whilst also setting the foundations for the software technologies to run on this new generation of equipment – which of course includes AI. Meanwhile we are pushing the limits of applied mathematics, for example mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. In other words: there is plenty of room at the faculty for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1000 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.

Duration of contract is 3 years (starting 1 year with possibility for extension).
A job of 36-40 hours per week. Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
