Sweden: PhD Students in Automatic Control

Deadline: 5 Jan. 2013

The Automatic Control Lab, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, seeks PhD students 
 Work description

We are now looking for 1-3 PhD students with background and interest from some of the following areas: mathematics, control theory, system identification, machine learning, statistical learning theory, and optimization. The research concerns theory development for different aspects of system identification of large scale complex systems. Examples of problems that we study are estimation in decentralized systems and networks, optimal experiment design, sparse estimation and reinforcement learning. We use and develop techniques from all the areas above. Our applications span a large range, including communications systems, smart grids, intelligent transportation systems, combustion engines, and process control. PhD students are expected to (i) contribute to lay the foundations towards a theory, (ii) to devise practical solutions.

Qualifications

  • Highly motivated individuals holding an MSc degree in electrical engineering, engineering physics, computer science or similar;
  • The candidates should have excellent grades and very good skills in oral and written communication;
  • To be ready to contribute to an international research group and a scientific research agenda of major importance for European industry and society.

Employment

PhD positions are intended for those who pursue their own doctoral studies. The positions include about 80% research and 20% teaching assistance duties. The salary is based on the existing employment agreement for PhD position at the School of Electrical Engineering.
