24 Fall one PhD position through JDP MAE between UCSD and SDSU

One Ph.D. position is available through the Joint Doctorate Program (JDP) of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department at UC San Diego and San Diego State University for Fall 2024.


Dr. Jun Chen is an assistant professor in San Diego State University Aerospace Engineering Department. His current research area includes dynamics, control, optimization and artificial intelligence, particularly in data-driven modeling, control and optimization for large-scale networked dynamical systems under uncertainty, with applications on air traffic control/management, UAS traffic management, and autonomous air/ground vehicle systems. He received his Ph.D. and M.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering from Purdue University and his B.S. degree in Aeronautics Engineering from Beihang University.


The group is seeking highly motivated students for research positions in the area of control, optimization and machine learning with emphasis on autonomous systems. The research area includes computational optimal control, stochastic optimization, machine learning, distributed control/computing with applications on UAS traffic management and autonomous vehicles.


The ideal candidate should have excellent mathematical background and strong programming skills (Python, C++, Julia or Matlab). Candidates with good knowledge of dynamics and control, optimization, machine learning/reinforcement learning, modeling and simulation, and UAVs are highly desired. Selected candidates could start as soon as Fall 2024. Postdocs and visiting students/scholars are also welcome.


If interested, please feel free to email Prof. Jun Chen at jun.chen [@] sdsu [DOT] edu with your CV and transcripts. Please check the details about Prof. Jun Chen at junchen[DOT]sdsu[DOT]edu. The deadline is 12/15/2024.

FAQ：

• 录取后是哪所大学的学生？学位证书由哪所大学颁发？
  

The students enrolled at JDP program are considered as students of both UCSD and SDSU. A PhD diploma is jointly awarded  by UCSD and SDSU.

2.会有几个导师？学习研究过程？

录取的学生每一学期都要在两校注册，Professor Chen和另一位UCSD的教授会是学生的co-advisors。第一年主要在UCSD上课修满6-9门课程后参加首轮资格考试，之后主要在Professor Chen指导下做研究但也要和UCSD的co-advisor保持联系，科研取得一定进展后参加第二轮资格考试，最后论文答辩毕业。

3. 收费情况？

Professor Chen 有经费预算支持学生缴纳学费和发放工资。

4.中途quit博士可以转成硕士毕业吗？

JDP program只授予博士学位。如果中途退出，不能转硕。
