Recommended Posts

A PhD position is available on the interdisciplinary project "Design methods and computational tools for delay based vibration control of mechatronic systems".

Recently novel techniques for vibration absorption, which involve the use of delay based input shapers and so-called delayed resonators, have been developed and successfully applied to flexible mechatronic systems. The aim of the project is to analyze properties of poles and zeros of multi-input, multi-output systems with delays, and to develop and validate optimization based control design techniques, grounded in simultaneously shaping spectra of poles and zeros, and capable of solving co-design problems of absorbers and higher-level controllers (to position a platform or to manipulate a robot's arm). These requirements stem from the property that for future-generation delay based vibration suppression techniques, a separation principle allowing a separate design of absorbers and controllers, is no longer viable, necessitating fundamentally different design tools.

We offer a PhD position for four years at KU Leuven (main institution) and the CTU in Prague (one year stay), two top European universities and hubs for interdisciplinary research in the fields of Applied Mathematics and Systems & Control, aiming at a double doctorate. This vacancy fits within a long-standing collaboration and a joint project between the research groups of W. Michiels (KU Leuven - Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics Center) and T. Vyhlidal (Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering).

Deadline: August 15, 2020
