美国Univ of Kansas博士招生 (Aerial Robot）

sqzlsUID: 2755677

We have two Ph.D. research assistant openings (salary and full tuition waiver) in Fall 2021 on sensing, estimation, and control of extreme aerial robots (UAS) in the research group of Associate Prof. Haiyang Chao in the Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of Kansas. The successful candidates will work on developing nextGen autonomous aerial robots to operate in challenging environments (wildfire, urban cities, or in wake vortices).
Current research topics include:
(1) wind and turbulence sensing and estimation using single or multiple unmanned aircraft,
(2) modeling of turbulence effect on aircraft motion and gust suppression control,
(3) disaster remote sensing using unmanned aircraft (e.g., wildfire, tornado/hail damage).
Trainings from our lab will prepare students for potential career path including autonomous driving, guidance, navigation, and control, remote sensing, computer vision, data science, etc.
