[EE/CS/Stat/OR/Math] PhD positions at ECE Virginia Tech - jinming123 - 06-29-2020
The laboratory of research in optimization, learning, and energy (ROLE), led by Dr. Ming Jin in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech has two Ph.D. position.
The goal of ROLE lab is to enable trustworthy AI for safety-critical systems like power grid and human habitat. Towards this goal, we develop fundamental theories in the areas of optimization, control, and machine learning, with emphasis on various aspects of trust, including security, reliability, explainability, and scalability.
If your interests are compatible with ours, please feel free to send me your CV and your current transcript. Students with strong mathematical backgrounds and have taken courses in the areas of optimization, control theory, machine learning, and statistics are preferred.

Power and Energy Center @ VT
Power engineering research involves delivering electricity and converting it for use at its final destinations. Power systems in many industrialized countries rely on decades-old equipment, creating unique challenges in blending state-of-the-art technology with working equipment that can be half a century old. At Virginia Tech, researchers work to design, improve, and protect the world’s power grids and equipment; understand and design distributed and alternative power systems; store electricity for later use; and develop equipment that increases function with less energy.
