CONTROLLING NON-LINEAR SYSTEMS UNDER DELAY CONSTRAINTS

A PhD position is immediately available on CONTROLLING NON-LINEAR SYSTEMS UNDER DELAY CONSTRAINTS under the supervision of Prof. Rifat Sipahi at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Northeastern University located in the heart of Boston.

This project is a continuation of our most recent developments in the field of time delay systems and control theory, and it involves both theoretical and experimental work. Successful candidate will have strong background on control theory, dynamic systems and mathematics; he/she is required to have a Master’s degree in a field (including but not limited to engineering, physics, applied mathematics) relevant to the scope of the project; he/she has excellent skills in using Matlab, Simulink and a symbolic manipulator (e.g. Mathematica, Maple, Matlab’s Symbolic toolbox). It is also desirable that the candidate has hands-on experience on feedback control, and theoretical background on Model Predictive Control, Graph Theory and Differential Equations. It is expected that the candidates have excellent GRE and TOEFL (if necessary) scores, and they have strong communication and writing skills. It is preferable that candidates personally wrote and published articles in journals or conferences under supervision and gave scientific talks in their Master’s studies.
