The successful candidate will join the Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Groningen.
The research will be carried out in the Systems, Control and Optimization Group. Our group is part of the Jan C. Willems Center for Systems and Control that unites the different control groups in Groningen. This is a leading center (ranked first in the EU (fourth in Europe) according to the 2024 Shanghai Ranking). The successful candidate will benefit from connections within the center, as well as regular seminars, joint group meetings, and interaction with other PhD students and postdocs in a lively and supportive environment.
The PhD project is embedded within the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant project “Energy-based learning of complex dynamical systems” (E-BLOCS), led by Dr. Henk van Waarde. The PhD student will actively work together with the other members of the project, and also has many opportunities for international collaboration, research visits, and interdisciplinary training.
