A one-year PostDoc position is available at the Systems and Control Group within the School of Electric and Electronic Engineering of the University College Dublin. The PostDoc will work under the supervision of Dr. Giovanni Russo and will be jointly supervised by Prof. Robert Shorten.
The group performs fundamental and applied research in the area at the intersection of networks, control, decision science and cyber-physical systems. Our fundamental research is typically applied on a number of real-world applications, including manufacturing, smart cities and connected/autonomous vehicles. In order to do so, the lab features a number of testing facilities. This includes a large scale hardware-in-the-loop testing system for connected vehicles and an augmented reality environment for manufacturing applications.
For this position, we are seeking candidates for our work within the I-Form Centre for Advanced Manufacturing (http://www.sfi.ie/sfi-research-centres/i-form/). Within the project, we will develop a cyber-physical system allowing humans to collaborate with augmented reality avatars and with robots in order to fulfill a complex manufacturing task. The research will have both a theoretical and an applied, hands-on, aspect, benefitting from the experimental test-bed currently available at UCD.
The ideal candidate should have a background in:
- nonlinear dynamics and complex systems;
- deep and reinforcement learning;
- optimization;
- statistics.
