Alfavita Newsroom Three PHD student positions in the "Aerospace Research Group at UC3M”. Topics related with optimal control and data science and applications to space and air traffic management
POSITION 1
AERO UC3M PhD Position Open on Stochastic Optimal Control
Research task
The task will be related to stochastic optimal control applied to trajectory optimization in aerospace engineering.
Arising applications of optimal control in aerospace engineering are vast. e.g., commercial aircraft trajectory planning, UAV mission planning, and space mission planning. The focus will be on commercial aircraft trajectory planning under uncertain meteorological phenomena, e.g., thunderstorms, windshear, etc. The PhD will continue to investigate a research line linked to SESAR H2020 European Project TBO-Met - https://tbomet-h2020.com/- and Spanish National Science Project Opt-Met - https://optmet.wordpress.com/-
POSITION 2
AERO UC3M PhD Position Open on Data Science and Aviation
Research topic
The PhD topic will be related to data science techniques applied to air traffic management
Arising data science applications in air traffic management are vast. e.g., commercial aircraft trajectory planning, aircraft/engines maintenance, air traffic configuration sector design. The focus will be on the analysis of different adverse weather phenomena and the minimization of its impact in terms of safety, capacity, cost, and environment. In any case the topic is in certain way open.
POSITION 3
AERO UC3M PhD Position Open on Orbit Determination
Research task
The task will be related to orbit determination applied to maneuver detection in the Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) observation correlation process.
The research task will involve the analysis of heuristic and statistical methodologies to tackle the problem of spacecraft post-maneuver detection. Human activities in space have caused the growth of a large population of space debris, which pose a major threat to human space infrastructures. The increasing relevance of terrestrial applications provided by these space assets has made Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST), a major priority to many countries, which are developing and deploying their own SST systems. Recently, the interest in the automatic detection of manoeuvres has increased due to the growth of the size of the catalogues of objects in orbit to maintain.
Deadline
Call for applications will remain open until an adequate candidate is found. Expected start will be in September. Ideally, we would like to do the selection process no later than May.
