INTELLIGENT AND SUSTAINABLE PROCESS SYSTEMS LAB (ISPSL)
Home to Pourkargar Research Group @ Kansas State University
The available PhD positions @ ISPSL focus on developing enabling technologies designed to enhance automation, control, and real-time decision-making for large-scale process systems in sustainable and smart manufacturing, and are in the general areas of (1) optimization-based control of complex process networks, (2) computational multiscale modeling of process systems in sustainable and smart manufacturing, and (3) system identification using process data analytics and machine learning with application to chemical and energy systems. It is desired to have a strong background in mathematics and scientific computing (using MATLAB or Python). Experience in one or more of the following areas will be considered: process control, optimization, multiscale modeling, numerical analysis, machine learning, statistics, and computational fluid dynamics. Interested students can send me their CV or contact me for further details.
