6.1 PhD: Missouri University of Science and Technology, USA
Contributed by: Tansel Yucelen, yucelen@mst.edu
Open PhD Positions
Advanced Systems Research Laboratory (www.asrl.us)
Missouri University of Science and Technology (www.mst.edu)
We are searching for exceptional PhD students with a strong background in systems, controls, and robotics.
These students are expected to perform research on (1) safety-critical autonomous systems, (2) multiagent systems and robotics, and (3) modular large-scale systems. Our intention is to give our strong guidance in order to maximize the chances of our students of building a rewarding research career. If you are interested, please send an email to Prof. Tansel Yucelen at yucelen@mst.edu including your background, your interests and strengths (theoretical and experimental), your resume, and a publication of yours. You can visit http://www.asrl.us/ for our webpage.
The work performed by our laboratory is focused on the creation of new information, control, and decision algorithms that reveal advanced systems such as highly capable autonomous vehicles and networked multivehicle systems. These systems are envisioned to elevate human society as well as to perform safety-critical operations with more robots and less humans. We place a strong emphasis both on theoretic research and experimentation for addressing fundamental and open real-world technological problems. Our aim is to be recognized as one of the top research laboratories in the nation by significantly advancing the knowledge and training science-based engineers and professionals to shape the future of our society.

6.4 PhD: Aalborg University, Denmark
Contributed by: Rafael Wisniewski, raf@es.aau.dk
PhD Stipends in computer-aided controller design for nonlinear systems.
Section for Automation Control at Aalborg University has two PhD stipends in computer-aided controller design for nonlinear systems available from October 1, 2014 or as soon as possible thereafter.
A critical bottleneck in industrial automation is the lack of efficient numerical methods for designing controls for nonlinear systems. As a result, controllers for nonlinear systems are being designed based on trial-and-error and rule-of-thumb approaches in conjunction with extensive simulation studies.
This project is concerned with the development of efficient algorithms for designing controls of high-dimensional nonlinear systems. The proposed methods must be implemented in software, and applied to industrial applications proposed by the project's three industrial partners. The project is carried out within the CodeMe project, funded by the Danish Council for Independent Research, and led by Professor Rafael Wisniewski.
The aim of the project is to develop certificates of positivity for polynomial systems. As an example, a certificate of positivity for a quadratic form is the positive definiteness of its defining matrix. This is the cornerstone in LMI-based controller design. Issues in state-of-the-art numerical methods for nonlinear systems are scalability and numerical stability. Our hypothesis is that the representation of polynomials in the Bernstein basis can alleviate some of these issues. In short, this project will develop scalable numerical methods that will enable the design of controls for nonlinear industrial applications.
The candidate is expected to be independent, and to have demonstrated excellence in her/his MSc. The applicants must have a solid background in control theory, numerical methods, mathematical optimization, mathematical analysis, and programming. Good skills in oral and written English are also required.
You may obtain further information from Professor Rafael Wisniewski (raf@es.aau.dk) concerning the scientific aspects of the PhD stipend.
