Non Deterministic Approaches

Several PhD and post-doctoral research positions are currently vacant within the framework of a recently started SBO-project of the Institute for the Promotion of Innovation by Science and Technology in Flanders, Belgium (IWT, www.iwt.be).

This 4-year project involves the study and development of methods for dealing with uncertainty in finite element calculations. More specifically, this project aims at the development of a generic approach for implementing a fuzzy finite element method. It also focusses on the possible extension of this approach to other non-probabilistic or hybrid non-deterministic techniques, as e.g. imprecise probabilities, info-gap and probability boxes. Next to the development of algorithms and numerical implementation strategies, the project focuses explicitly on the actual application of these novel non-deterministic numerical simulation techniques for design purposes.

This project assembles a consortium of eight prominent Flemish partners with academic as well as industrial background in the field of non-deterministic numerical modeling techniques. Vacancies for PhD students as well as post-doctoral researchers are currently available at the five involved academic research partners in two leading Flemish universities:

The NEW section NDA People is devoted to gather information on all institutions, companies, research groups and, in general, people active in the field of non deterministic approaches.

Everyone can apply for free to be part of this section! When you apply you'll get a full one page description of the topics of your research and a link to the front page for some time.

Are you interested? Send your one page description with one picture included (logo, photo, other) and the link to the homepage of your group to admin@ndaportal.com and we'll put you on!
