【乔治·华盛顿大学】Spring 2021 【招全奖博士生】【ML and AI in Aerospace方向】

Peng Wei is an assistant professor at George Washington University Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, with a courtesy appointment in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. With methods from control, optimization, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, he develops decision making, ML and AI systems for air transportation and aviation. His recent focus is on safety, efficiency and scalability of the decision making algorithms for systems in uncertain, dynamic environments, such as air traffic control/management, airline operations, UAS traffic management (UTM), eVTOL urban air mobility, and autonomous drone racing. Prof. Wei is leading the Intelligent Aerospace Systems Lab (IASL). He received his Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering from Purdue University in 2013 and his B.S. degree in Automation from Tsinghua University in 2007. He is an Associate Editor of AIAA Journal of Aerospace Information Systems.

Prof. Wei's past and current graduate students obtained full time positions and internships at ByteDance, Kent State University, NASA Ames, FAA, American Airlines, Air France/KLM, MIT Lincoln Lab, Airbus, TuSimple, Airmap, and Metron Aviation. Through these close industry collaborations, Prof. Wei's group have been conducting original and impactful research for real world problems (e.g. our models have been running at American Airlines and the FAA to benefit the society).

There will be two PhD positions open in his group starting from Spring 2021. The two positions can be under either MAE department or ECE department. Motivated students with excellent mathematical background and strong programming skills are encouraged to apply, including but not limited to background in dynamics and control, optimization and operations research, statistical machine learning, robotics, computer vision and perception, and reinforcement learning.

Please see more details about Prof. Peng Wei at his website. The application details and requirements can be found at SEAS website. If you are interested in working with Prof. Wei or have any questions, please contact him directly by sending your CV and transcripts to pwei@gwu.edu.

谢谢大家考虑申请和关注我们研究小组。各位同学如果对美国疫情和中美关系有担心，我表示完全理解。我会尽我所能为你解释清楚我们学校和华盛顿特区的情况。如果你的签证过不了或者家人不同意来美，你接受了offer但最后决定不来，我也表示理解。

注意：1. $80的申请费是可以waive的 2. 明年春季入学的申请截止日期是9月1日

顶一下！关注lz的领英一年多了，刚好在地里首页看到这个贴子，必须点赞评论一波
作为一个国内非常非常冷门的空管方向学生，lz在无人机管制方面的成果和分享的内容给我提供了很多讯息，甚至可以说帮我指明了科研方向，非常非常感激。
同时也经常看到lz带的学生晒出很好的航空业offer，所以大佬们pick lz肯定是没错的！

老师敢亲自在地里招人和回复的话，说明人真的很nice

说一些更实际和作为学生更关心的东西 ：）
1. 卫老师不卡学生，只要达到了毕业标准就会让学生毕业。目前已知学生最长博士时间是4年。。
2. 尊重学生的意愿。如果毕业希望去工业界，卫老师会早早联系实习机会。如果希望去学术界，卫老师会在各种会议跟大佬提前打好招呼
3. 卫老师对学术前沿有着精准把握。不管是从方法（人工智能、优化控制等），还是应用（低空无人机， NextGen等），卫老师组都做出来了关注度非常高的成果
4. 卫老师组偏向民航，在很多学校属于civil engineering甚至在business school， 更偏向于交通大类而非航空大类。所以在签证上不用太担心。 这点有顾虑的可以找卫老师更仔细的聊一聊

多谢！你不是我们组毕业的学生的马甲id吧？:)

哈哈哈哈哈不敢高攀啊
我现在是陆本大三，如果读完研之后能进你们组当然是坠吼的

高中生前来膜拜

我们本科生和硕士生都会考虑的。不需要有硕士学位

cs背景扎实，有论文，有optimization课程经验，但是没有aero相关知识，可以尝试申请吗？从小对航空十分感兴趣，对飞机，各大航司很了解，但是对航道控制这些就不太懂了😅

我们组好像只有三个博士生是aero或者aviation背景，后面都是ece，应用数学，和物理系毕业的。cs的更欢迎！

老师真的挺nice的
