Internship - Distributed estimation for interconnected dynamical systems (MS0337)

MERL seeks an intern for a three month assignment to conduct research into distributed estimation and control of interconnected dynamical systems. The topic is motivated by state estimation problems associated with distributed thermofluid systems that are governed by large scale, nonlinear but sparse differential algebraic equations. The modular architecture of these systems motivates a distributed estimation and control architecture. Qualified candidates should be enrolled in a Ph.D. or equivalent program of study and have knowledge of classic and advanced methods of multivariable and nonlinear control and estimation. Experience with networked control systems or multi-agent systems is an asset.

Required Specific Experience

• Experience with design and realization of classic and advanced nonlinear control systems.
• Experience with design and realization of state estimation algorithms.
• Knowledge of distributed estimation theory.
• Experience with networked control systems or multi-agent systems.

The pay range for this internship position will be 6-8K per month.
