PhD Positions in Mechanical Engineering, University of Oklahoma - Spring/Summer/Fall 2022

Description:
The Energy Systems and Controls Lab (ESCL) directed by Assistant Professor Dong Zhang at University of Oklahoma is looking for 1-2 highly motivated PhD students. Our lab develops battery monitoring and control software/algorithms to improve capacity, safety, and charging of electric vehicle batteries. The objective is to increase usable capacity and enhance charging rates by improving the ability to estimate battery health in real-time, to predict and manage the impact of charge and discharge cycles on battery health, and to minimize battery degradation. Visit our group website escl-ou.com for more details.

Our technical interests include control systems, optimization, energy systems, vehicle electrification, batteries, smart grids, energy/material experiments. Desirable backgrounds include mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mathematics, systems engineering, materials engineering, and physics. The candidates are expected to research one or more of the following areas focused on batteries and energy storage:
- Modeling and Identification
- Estimation of States and Parameters
- Optimal Control and Fault Diagnosis
- Experimental Validation
- Next-Generation Energy Storage Systems (Solid-State, Li-S, etc.)

Application:
If interested, please send an e-mail to [email protected] with the subject "Ph.D. Graduate Student Researcher | ESCL". Attach a copy of your transcript, CV, and a statement of research. Please also indicate your desired start date.

About the Supervisor:
Dr. Dong Zhang is an Assistant Professor in the Deparment of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at University of Oklahoma. He received his B.S. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and PhD from University of California, Berkeley. More details at escl-ou.com.
