[DMANET] Fully-funded PhD positions at DIEM (Department of Information and Electric Engineering and Applied Mathematics) - University of Salerno

DIEM has openings for fully-funded PhDs in the following research areas.

1) Probabilistic control of robots
The program tackles the fundamental problem of devising probabilistic
control strategies for robots interacting with humans. The algorithms will
take into account the probabilistic nature of human actions and will devise
randomized optimal policy to handle these. The techniques will be applied
onto industrial use-cases.

2) Sequential probabilistic decision making
This program investigates how to reliably make autonomous decisions and
control for autonomous agents purely from data. Research questions include
how to design autonomous systems capable of synthesizing control policies,
with guaranteed properties, from example datasets.

To apply, please e-mail the research area of interest to
giovarusso@unisa.it with
the subject line "PHD positions". Also, attach:

- a cover letter (1-page max) specifying how your experience and skills
match the position
- a brief curriculum vitae

Thanks and best regards,
