RWTH Aachen University: Research Assistant HD-MPC – Hierarchical and Distributed Model Predictive Control - Process Systems Engineering
With 30,000 students and 10,000 employees, RWTH Aachen University is one of the leading universities and also the largest employer and training body in the region. Its teaching and research are closely connected to industry and are characterised by an international, innovative and interdiciplinary approach.
Research Assistant HD-MPC – Hierarchical and Distributed Model Predictive Control
Process Systems Engineering
Our Profile:
The Process Systems Engineering group at RWTH Aachen University comprises about 30 young researchers lead by Prof. Dr.-Ing. W. Marquardt. Research focuses on model-based experimental analysis, optimization-based process control, process synthesis, and information-based support and improvement of work processes. Applications deal with fluid separation processes, polymerization, bio processes, multiphase fluid reactors and crystallization. For more information please consult our website
http://www.avt.rwth-aachen.de/.
Your Profile:
A qualified candidate is interested in applied interdisciplinary research and has a Master's or equivalent degree in a relevant scientific or technical subject, such as chemical engineering, computational engineering, electrical engineering, applied math, or physics. Previous experience in scientific computing, numerical mathematics, modelling of dynamical systems, control theory or systems theory is a plus. Previous experience in interdisciplinary projects is beneficial.
Your duties and responsibilities:
Modern processes involve a large number of unit operations, e.g. reactions, separations, energy transport and storage. This implies an equally large number of apparatus, which are increasingly integrated with respect to mass and energy. Oftentimes, simple PID controllers do not lead to the desired process performance and reliability. Model-predictive control (MPC) approaches are an appealing solution. However, the design of a single MPC for a complex plant is not always useful due to safety and computational reasons. Decentral, hierarchical control presents one elegant alternative. Controllers of limited complexity on different time-scales are designed for parts of the plant and drive these to their respective optimal performance. Still, the latter need not represent the optimum of the entire plant – this optimum needs to be achieved by efficient coordination between the decentral controllers. Design and analysis of such important control structures is the research focus of the EU-project HD-MPC. The consortium consists of renowned international research groups and industrial partners.
Our offer:
The position is to be filled as soon as possible and is for a fixed term 2 Years. An extension is possible. Regular working hours are 39,83 hours a week.
A PhD is required. Salary is according to TV-L 13. RWTH Aachen University has been rewarded with the "Total-E-Quality-Award" for its efforts with respect to gender equality. In cases of equal qualification, aptitude and expertise of the applicants, female applicants will be given preferential treatment for those salary groups and careers in which females are underrepresented, unless there are preponderant reasons to give preference to another applicant. Please refer to § 8 Article 6 of the North Rhine-Westphalian Equal Opportunities Act (Landesgleichstellungsgesetz NW). RWTH Aachen University has been rewarded with the title "disability-friendly" ("Prädikat behindertenfreundlich" ) for its efforts with respect to training and employment of severely disabled people. Applications from severely disabled people with appropriate suitability are explicitly welcome. This also applies to people with equal opportunities in accordance with § 2 SGB IX (Social Code).
