Summary from listing
TU Delft is hiring a PhD candidate to develop learning and control methods for large-scale greenhouse systems in the GreenControl project. The research combines systems and control, applied mathematics, machine learning, and biological systems to create reduced-order models, sensor and actuator placement strategies, and data-driven predictive control policies for airflow, lighting, CO2 dosing, heating, and ventilation. The work will use high-fidelity simulations and be validated on a greenhouse demonstrator, with research trials and experiments. Applicants need a relevant MSc and a strong background in systems and control, applied mathematics, machine learning, and biological systems; experiment experience is preferred but not required. The position is a four-year PhD employment in principle, with an initial 1.5-year contract and a possible second contract, and requires relocation to the Netherlands.
