The Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering of the University of Sheffield seeks outstanding candidates to pursue a PhD in control theory. The research topic is "Control of flexible structures using piezoelectric sensors and actuators". This project is an excellent opportunity for the student to develop/strengthen their knowledge of system identification and control system design. The project targets an industry-inspired research problem whose main challenges lie in fundamental theory. As such, it is an appealing combination of theoretical and experimental work.
