Offer: PhD Studentship: Towards Trustworthy AI for Safety-Critical Cyber-Physical Systems:

Job description:

Qualification Type: PhD
Job location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Funding for: UK Students, EU Students
Funding amount: £16,062
Hours: Full Time

Published in: 9th August 2022
Closing date: 15th October 2022
Listing reference: COMP2130

 

Award Summary: 100% of Home tuition fees paid plus an yearly stipend of £16,062.
Overview
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are complex networked models combining both cyber (computation and communication) and physical components, which tightly interact with each other in a feedback loop. Examples of such systems span a wide variety of real-life safety-critical applications including automotive, robotics, transportation systems, energy, healthcare, critical infrastructures, and so on. Formal verification and policy synthesis for this type of complex systems to enforce high-level control missions are inherently very challenging mainly due to (i) large dimension of underlying systems, (ii) stochastic nature of dynamics, (iii) tight interaction between physical and cyber components, (iv) dealing with complex requirements, and (v) lack of mathematical closed-form models in many real-world applications. The main goal of this research is to focus on developing scalable AI-located techniques with mathematical guarantees to tackle the aforementioned difficulties and design highly-reliable CPS by bringing together interdisciplinary concepts from formal methods in computer science, optimization in operations research, control theory, data science and machine learning.
This studentship provides a unique opportunity to execute interdisciplinary, high-impact research within a group of interdisciplinary researchers. The prosperous candidate will directly work under the supervision of Dr Abolfazl Lavaei.
