Jobbeschreibung

ETH Zurich is one of the world’s leading universities specialising in science and technology. It is renowned for its excellent education, its cutting-edge fundamental research and its efforts to put new knowledge and innovations directly into practice. The Chair of Intelligent Maintenance Systems at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering focuses on developing algorithms and decision support systems for data-driven intelligent maintenance of industrial assets.
Railway wheels are safety critical components, have a significant impact on the performance and are a major cost driver for maintenance. The condition of the wheels also has a significant influence on the infrastructure condition and its maintenance. Furthermore, wheel defects cause noise and vibration emissions.
Due to their criticality, wheels are tightly monitored by different condition monitoring devices: including fixed installations, wayside monitoring devices and in‐workshop inspections. While wheel defect detection with wayside monitoring devices belongs to the state of the art, particularly based on strain gauges, prediction of the wheel deterioration and defect evolution in time under varying operating conditions is still an open research question.
The goal of the research project is to predict the evolution of the wheel condition in time by integrating the information of several heterogeneous data sources including real‐time information on wheel condition and influencing parameters of its deterioration. The developed methodology will be based on deep learning algorithms enabling to learn the relevant features and their relationships from the heterogeneous data sources and use the learnt relationships to predict the profile evolution.
The project is conducted in a close collaboration with the SBB (Swiss Federal Railways).
We look forward to receiving your online application including a letter of motivation, CV, a brief statement of research interests (1 page), transcripts of all obtained degrees (in English), one publication (the one that you consider being most relevant to the position that you are applying for), and contact details of two referees. Only complete applications containing all the required documents will be considered. Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application portal. Applications via email or postal services will not be considered.
