PhD position in Modeling and Control of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems from Data

The Chair in Nonlinear Dynamics at ETH Zürich is inviting applications for a 100% PhD position in the development and application of nonlinear dynamical systems methods for complex physical problems known only from data. The objective is to provide efficient, theoretically sound, fast, and directly interpretable alternative in modelling to the black-box approach of neural networks.

Job description

  • The selected candidate will work on the furhter development of spectral submanifold (SSM) methods, aiming to further develop concepts in nonlinear model reduction 
  • Possible research directions include the development of nonlinear modelling and control approaches for fluid-structure interactions, material with memory, soft robotics, tele-operated systems, lightweight space structures, and turbulent flows 
  • Ongoing and prior work in related areas by th...
