A funded position for PhD studies is available at Penn State, USA under the guidance of Prof. Papakonstantinou (http://www.cee.psu.edu – https://sites.psu.edu/kpapakon/). The topic is about development of advanced stochastic control and deep reinforcement learning methods for several engineering applications, with main emphasis on large systems and risk analysis and mitigation. Very good knowledge of programming is required and candidates with experience in probabilistic methods and optimization, and some knowledge of computational mechanics will be given priority. Whoever is interested should directly contact Prof. Papakonstantinou (kpapakon@psu.edu) as soon as possible.”
