PhD: University of Kansas, USA

The Information & Smart Systems Laboratory (ISSL) 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 systems and power electronics. Applications are
cordially invited 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. The lab performs cutting-edge
research on information extraction, analysis and exploitation for dynamic systems
to deal with system complexity and enable system intelligence. The ISSL people are
committed to pursing 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.
