We are seeking two Marie Curie Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) (PhD students) within the Department of Automatic Control and System Engineering. The positions are associated with a three-year EU-funded ITN Marie Curie project aimed at the development of methods for solving problems of complex systems. The project partners are Linkoping University (Sweden), Fraunhofer Institute (FKIE Wachtberg, Germany), Twente University (Netherlands), Thales Netherlands, Rinicom Ltd (UK), Xsens Technologies B.V. (Netherlands) and Ericsson (Sweden).
The project aims at developing scalable Bayesian approaches able to solve complex and high dimensional problems with multi-sensor data. Two of the foreseen application areas are vehicular traffic systems and video processing. However, the goal is to develop approaches which are general and applicable to any area. Methods for distributed inference and decision making will be studied too, e.g., based on sequential Monte Carlo methods, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), combined with compressed sensing for optimal management of the resources of sensor networks.
Automatic Control and Systems Engineering (ACSE) at the University of Sheffield is the largest department devoted to systems and control engineering in the UK and amongst the largest in Europe. It comprises 24 academic staff, 29 research staff, 24 support staff and over 350 undergraduate and postgraduate students. We are an internationally leading research department with a vibrant research culture spanning systems and control theory and its increasingly challenging applications in, for example, medicine, aerospace and manufacturing systems, to the increasingly important aspect of the complex systems challenges of the coming decades: systems/synthetic biology, neuroscience and cognition, healthcare, smart materials and sensors, autonomous systems, transport, energy and the environment, and space science. We approach these challenges by a focus on the generic theoretical developments in complex systems analysis, modelling, control and computational intelligence that underpin strategic, multi-disciplinary collaborations with leading groups in application areas.
