PhD Student / Research Assistant / Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/d) in the Field of Robotics and Automatic Control directed to Autonomous Processes and Labs
The Digital Process Engineering (DPE) Group lead by Prof. Thomas Meurer of the Institute of Mechanical Process Engineering and Mechanics of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) focuses on the development and application of combined model- and data-based methods and concepts for control, automation, and optimization of complex dynamic processes, systems and plants. This also includes interfaces to robotics and autonomous systems and their integration into highly automated process chains. An essential aspect thereby is the interconnection of dynamic subsystems to form systems with desired properties and behavior. This results in links to a wide range of applications in areas such as process engineering and production technology, life science engineering, health technologies, energy technology, the circular economy, and land- and sea-based mobility.
The DPE group is looking for a highly qualified and motivated PhD student or Postdoc to conduct research in the field of robotics and automatic control directed towards applications in autonomous processes and autonomous labs. This will include both methodic developments at the intersections of control theory, robotics and machine learning as well as the realization of respective benchmark experiments to evaluate the concepts.
