Several PhD and postdoc positions are vacant in the area of analysis, control
and optimization of large-scale dynamical systems and networks. The emphasis
is on systems described by partial differential equations and functional differential
equations, and on the development and application of optimization based control
design methods. Particular attention will be paid to the analysis and control of
systems with time-varying parameters.
Keywords:
systems, control and optimization, dynamical systems, infinite-dimensional systems,
partial and functional differential equations, robustness assessment and optimization, numerical simulation, numerical linear algebra, numerical bifurcation analysis
Profile:
The candidates for the PhD positions must have a Masters degree in either
engineering or applied mathematics, the candidates for the PostDoc positions must
have a PhD degree in Engineering (preferably Electrical, Mechanical or Chemical)
or Applied Mathematics. They will be hosted at the Numerical Analysis and Applied
Mathematics Division of the K.U.Leuven, which participates in the Optimization in
Engineering Center OPTEC. They are expected to participate in national and
international collaborative projects in the area of dynamical systems, control
and optimization.
How to apply:
Send an electronic application to Prof. Wim Michiels( Wim.Michiels@cs.kuleuven.be ).
The application should contain a curriculum vitae, including a short description
of your qualifications and experience (i.e. courses, title and summary of Diploma
or Master thesis), a short letter describing your motivation, and names and e-mail
addresses of one or two scientists willing to provide a reference.
