Summary of the role
The successful candidate will contribute to the advancement of the field of structural control. He/she will work on a project to develop advanced novel, innovative control techniques for vibration mitigation in civil structures applications. The structural control will be implemented via active dampers to minimize vibrations and improve the earthquake resistance of buildings, bridges, etc.
Key Responsibilities:
• Develop novel adaptive control algorithms based on advanced mathematical models.
• Design and implement sophisticated controllers on active dampers for civil structures.
• Conduct experiments and simulations to validate the effectiveness of the developed control techniques.
•Write and publish high-quality journal papers and research proposals.
