The Information & Smart Systems Laboratory at the University of Kansas currently has one Ph.D. scholarship opening, which is anticipated to start as early as January 2019. The project will be concerned with high-performance battery system design and management and build upon a mix of fundamental and applied research involving optimal control, battery management and power electronics. We cordially invite applications from highly self-motivated candidates with a background in electrical, electronic, control or automation engineering. A master's degree is preferred though not required for the Ph.D. position. The successful applicant will be awarded a competitive scholarship covering both tuition and living expenses.
ISSL is a group of researchers at the University of Kansas working to push the frontiers of information-driven smart systems. We perform cutting-edge research on information extraction, analysis and exploitation for dynamic systems to deal with system complexity and enable system intelligence. At ISSL, we are committed to pursuing new ideas, perspectives and methods synergistically combining estimation, control, optimization, network systems and machine learning to address fundamental and applied problems arising from diverse practical systems.
