Are you currently pursuing higher education and need to complete a work placement?
We can welcome you in one of our three technology departments or into our administrative and support departments, depending on your profile.
The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment and IT. By transforming scientific knowledge into technologies, smart data and tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their decisions and businesses in their strategies.
The Environmental Research and Innovation (ERIN) department, made up of 200 life science, environmental science and information technology researchers and engineers, provides the interdisciplinary knowledge, expertise and technologies to lead solutions including the major environmental challenges facing society, such as climate change mitigation, ecosystem resilience, sustainable energy systems, efficient use of renewable resources, and environmental pollution prevention and control.
Land surface temperature (LST) indicates the thermal status of land surface as a consequence of the land-atmosphere exchange of energy and water fluxes. It is immensely sensitive to soil water content variations and carries the imprints of surface water stress. Meanwhile, LST is also affected by atmospheric demand for water through evaporative cooling. As with the drying and warming climate under global change, accurate retrieval of LST at a high spatio-temporal resolution is a pressing need. In this case, multiple high-resolution thermal infrared (TIR) missions including ESA’s Land Surface Temperature Monitoring (LSTM), the Franco-Indian joint Thermal infraRed Imaging Satellite for High-resolution Natural resource Assessment (TRISHNA), and NASA’s Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) are planned, which will facilitate LST mapping and its subsequent applications in agriculture, ecosystem, and urban thermal environment among the others.
The ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS), positioned on the International Space Station (ISS) on 29 June 2018, is a pathfinder for the future TIR missions. It collects thermal images in five bands between 8 and 12.5 μm with a high spatio-temporal resolution at varying times of the day. The spatial coverage is between ±52° latitude over the globe. The pixel size after resampling at the nadir is ~70 × 70 m. The average revisit time is approximately 1-5 days, depending on the latitude. The high spatio-temporal resolution ECOSTRESS data provide an unprecedented opportunity for monitoring terrestrial ecosystems with largely improved spatial detail and timeliness.

The IT for Innovative Services (ITIS) department, with its 100 researchers and engineers, focuses on the digital transformation of operations in organizations with traditional environments and digital ecosystems, with the aim of improving their performance and innovation capacity. The common thread throughout ITIS is to develop the most efficient use of big data to ensure the most appropriate decision-making processes.
The department relies on the Data Analytics Platform: a hybrid infrastructure covering the entire range of data analytics activities. The platform is based on three pillars: a high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, a cognitive analytics pillar and an interactive visualization wall (Viswall).
While 5G is being rolled out, the first research and standardisation efforts on the next generation have already started. One of the common visions for 6G involves the increasingly advanced use of artificial intelligence (AI) to dynamically manage the resources of these future networks. In this context, the concept of network digital twinning (NDT) — which involves creating a real-time digital replica of a physical network — is particularly relevant, since AI models can for instance be tested and calibrated before being deployed in the reality.
You will define a concrete and tangible example of an NDT and evaluate its performances through a demonstrator. It will target a use-case involving mobile nodes, including but not limited to drones and robot cars/dogs, and give the opportunity to the candidate to explore both theoretical and applied principles. It will be broken down into three phases:
1) Performing a review of the main research challenges related to NDT, with a specific focus on use-cases involving connected and automated mobility and unmanned aerial vehicles.
2) Defining an approach answering to one of the identified NDT challenges, together with a simplified scenario (i.e., that could be reproduced in a laboratory environment).
3) Evaluating the performances of this approach by implementing a demonstrator.

Through its research into advanced materials and processes, the “Materials Research and Technology” (MRT) department, with its 200 researchers and engineers, contributes to the emergence of enabling technologies that underpin the innovation processes of local and international industry. MRT’s activities hinge on four thematic pillars: nanomaterials and nanotechnology, scientific instrumentation and process technology, structural composites, and functional polymers.
The department also includes four high-tech platforms, focusing on composites, prototyping, characterization and testing. These platforms serve both LIST research staff, and other stakeholders in Luxembourg.
Capturing the sun energy and converting it to heat is attractive, owing to the possibility to take benefit from the entire solar spectrum. When the generated solar heat leads to temperatures exceeding 1000K, it can be efficiently used for the electricity generation or for chemicals production (e.g., hydrogen or hydrocarbons as energy carrier). A bottleneck in the process is the availability of solar absorbers capable of operating efficiently at such high temperatures. Carbon-based coatings, such as carbon nanotubes, behave as a black body by capturing most solar radiation to generate heat. Nevertheless, they feature a substantial radiative heat loss.
During this internship you will contribute to the efforts of reducing the thermal emissivity of carbon-containing layers to increase their suitability for the solar-thermal energy harvesting. Hereby, you will implement vacuum chemical deposition techniques for the deposition of the coatings, and you will be involved is several characterization techniques prior the thermal emissivity measurement and thermal stability testing. You will be in charge of assessing the coating functionality with a home-made solar simulator to evaluate the materials performance.
