Delft, Nederland TU Delft Voltijd

**PhD Position Safe Control of Uncertain Systems from Data**:
**_Challenge:_**_ Ensure the safety of the decisions of probabilistic systems using data_

**_Change:_**_ Develop novel control theory and machine learning methods for uncertain dynamical systems_

**_Impact: _**_Produce new intelligent, possibly data-driven, methods for safe control of probabilistic and uncertain systems_

**Job description**:
TU Delft is a top tier university and is exceedingly active in the field of Artificial intelligence and Control Systems. Our long-term ambition is to lay a foundation for the development of future autonomous systems that can reliably and beneficially interact with humans.

On this PhD project you will investigate the combination of probabilistic methods and formal methods from computer science and control theory to devise solutions to problems in the context of uncertain control systems. In particular, the project will shift towards distributionally robust optimization and model predictive control for ensuring the correctness and performance of AI based control systems learnt from data.

You will work at the Delft Centre of Systems and Control (DCSC) and will be supervised by Luca Laurenti & Azita Dabiri.

The Delft Centre for Systems and Control (DCSC) coordinates the education and research activities in systems and control at Delft University of Technology. The Centre's research mission is to conduct fundamental research in systems dynamics and control, involving dynamic modelling, advanced control theory, optimisation and signal analysis. The research is motivated by advanced technology development in physical imaging systems, robotics and transportation systems. The group actively participates in the Dutch Institute of Systems and Control (DISC).

**Job requirements**:

- An MSc degree in systems and control, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, computer science, or related fields.
- Strong analytical skills and an ability to work at the intersection of several research domains, in particular control theory and computer science.
- Basic programming skills are expected.
- Good command of the English language and good communication skills.

**TU Delft (Delft University of Technology)**:
Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context.

Challenge. Change. Impact
