PhD Positions in autonomous systems at San Diego State University

The group is seeking multiple highly motived graduate students (Ph.D.) for FUNDED research positions at San Diego State University (SDSU) in the Aerospace Engineering Department, in the area of guidance, navigation, and control with emphasis on autonomous systems. The research area includes computational optimal control, stochastic optimization, machine learning, distributed control and UAV traffic management.

The Ph.D Positions are available through the Joint Doctorate Program (JDP) of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering departments at UC San Diego and San Diego State University for Fall 2019. Successful candidates will receive full tuition support from UC San Diego and a competitive stipend with benefits from San Diego State University.

The ideal candidate should have an undergraduate or graduate degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Computer Science or a closely related field of engineering and science. Candidates with good knowledge of optimal control, machine learning/reinforcement learning, convex optimization, modeling and simulation and UAVs are highly desired. Ability to write/execute code (Python, C++, Julia and Matlab) is also desirable. Selected candidates could start as soon as Spring 2019 or Fall 2019. 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 an updated CV.
