    Brainport Digital Twin: Data Architecture and Technology internships

    Lines

    The problems that impact our world today are complex. The urgency with which they present themselves necessitates rapid breakthrough innovation. The Eindhoven Engine has taken on this challenge and strives to improve the innovation speed in the Brainport Region.

    Are you ready to contribute to the future of urban development and address societal challenges with advanced data analysis and technology? The Brainport Digital Twin is looking for motivated graduate students who want to work on realizing a groundbreaking digital twin of the Brainport region!

    About the Brainport Digital Twin

    The Brainport region faces major challenges such as energy transition, environmental problems and population growth. To tackle these challenges effectively, we need a data-driven approach. The Brainport Digital Twin aims to develop an integrated model of the Brainport region that can support various societal issues. With this digital twin, crucial decisions can be better informed and accurate models and data can be used.

    Graduation projects

    We offer several challenging graduation assignments for both Fontys students and students from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). As a graduate student at the Brainport Digital Twin, you will have the opportunity to work on the following projects:

    Fontys graduate students:

    • Research and develop database architecture for combining various datasets in terms of time, geography, scope and quality.
    • Investigate and develop visualization methods for multidimensional data to understand the impact of different choices.
    • Investigate and implement AI methods for finding correlations between different application domains (e.g., air quality and traffic)
    • Investigate and set up a governance structure for the Brainport Digital Twin.


    TU/e graduate students:

    • Setting up a scalable architecture for an integral, multidimensional digital twin of the Brainport region.
    • Develop a data exchange protocol and architecture for the integration of diverse data in terms of time, geography, scope and quality
