The Division of Systems and Control at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Chalmers is looking for a Postdoc to become part of their team.
At the department of Electrical Engineering research and education are performed in the areas of Communications, Antennas and Optical Networks, Systems and Control, Signal processing and Biomedical engineering, and Electric Power Engineering. We work with sustainable and smart solutions to societal challenges, such as energy efficiency and electrification in areas ranging from transport and production systems to communication solutions and biomedical engineering.
You will join a group within the Automatic Control unit of the Systems and Control division focusing on data-driven control methodologies.
About the research project
Model-based control is arguably the prime framework to perform certifiably-safe regulation of dynamical systems. However, when dynamics are complex, nonlinear and partially unknown, such a model is typically obtained from observations by performing system identification — one notable example is given by Gaussian process regression to represent unknown dynamics for model predictive control. Despite the practical success, there are still many theoretical open questions regarding scalability, uncertainty bounds and deriving reliable safety guarantees. This project will aim at filling these gaps.
