Job description
The DREAM is a PATHFINDER research project involving several academic partners, research institutes and industrial partners. DREAM is going to introduce disruptive technologies for measuring, monitoring and enhancing lighting efficiency in controlled environments to improve plants and enable their parsimonious cultivation. To this end, kinetic information and dynamics of photosynthetic regulation will be studied via multisinewave and fluctuating illuminations.
The research in the DREAM project at Control Systems Group will focus on the frequency domain data driven linear/nonlinear modeling of dynamic behavior of conditioned algae/ plants subjected to fluctuating illumination (lighting). The candidate will closely collaborate with SONY, CNRS, Jülich Institute.
Job requirements
The ideal candidate will have the following skills
- A PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical /Chemical Engineering, Applied Mathematics or related disciplines.
- Interest and knowledge in topics: Data Driven modeling, System Identification, Nonlinear Modeling.
- Strong publication records.
- Is proactive, highly motivated, and independent.
- Has affinity with giving lectures, has good written and oral communication skills in English.
- A team player who enjoys coaching of PhD and Master students in multicultural teams.
- Excellent English language skills (writing and presenting).
The position is embedded in Control Systems Group in The Electrical Engineering Department. The research mission of the Control Systems Group is to master complexity present in mechatronics, automotive systems, and industrial processes. The group focuses on fundamental research in model reduction, spatial temporal system, Lyapunov methods for real-time control and distributed systems and system identification. Furthermore, many industrial projects are being carried out in the areas of automotive, process control, power systems, High tech systems. The group actively participates in the Dutch Institute of Systems and Control (DISC). For more detailed information of the group please check http://tue.nl/cs/.
