Automatic Control LaboratoryOpen OpportunitiesIn the context of global warming, a challenging issue is reducing the amount of energy consumption, specifically in the building sector and meanwhile respecting the existing constraints. This necessitates utilizing advanced modelling techniques and control strategies for buildings energy systems. - Control Engineering

| This work builds upon very recent workon distributed interaction systems that we call Karma systems. We propose a mathematical formalism and numerical computation to predict user behavior in these systems. Your task is to 1. Improve existing code by making itfaster and more modular. 2.Design and run numerical experiments on individual agents interacting in a bigger social systemto understand the trade-offs of parameters that dictate what agents care about and how they interact.3. Quantify “social mobility”within the social system and find what parameters influence it most. - Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering

| This work builds upon very recent workon distributed interaction systems that we call Karma systems. We propose a mathematical formalism and numerical computation to predict user behavior in these systems.Your task is to 1. Extend the theory to the Markov chain case. 2. Evaluate the effect of having mixed populations of agents with different attributes. 3. Understandthe effect of time discounting on agent strategies and optimality of solutions. 4. Can we quantify social mobility in the social systemand connected it to population mixing? - Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering

| Estimating the state of a power systems is an integral part of real-time power system analysis. In the state estimation process, measurements coming from power substations are compared to the power flow models of generators, lines and transformers to detect measurement or model errors. The method esti-mates the voltage magnitude and phase angle as well as active and reactive power flow in lines and transformers. The estimated values are then used in real-time network analysis to ensure a safe and efficient operation of the power system at all times. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences
