The Engineering Cybernetics Department of the Norwegian University of Technology and Science (NTNU) has an opening for a PhD scholarship in the area of Controller Performance Monitoring. The scholarship is for four years. Control systems for large plants are themselves large-scale systems, and automated techniques are essential for monitoring and fault detection (as opposed to monitoring and fault detection of the controlled plant). The PhD student will investigate the use of adaptive data analysis techniques for root cause detection of distributed oscillations in large plants. The ideal candidate will have obtained a strong Master's degree in Engineering Cybernetics / Control Engineering / Process Control. Alternatively, candidates with a strong background in signal processing or statistics may be considered. For candidates with such alternative backgrounds, familiarity with time series analysis including higher order spectral analysis is preferred, and some knowledge of feedback control is required. Candidates should have strong communication and cooperation skills.
