Denmark : PhD Stipend In Stochastic Switching Dynamics

At the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Department of Electronic Systems a PhD stipend In Stochastic Switching Dynamics is available within the general study programme Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The stipend is open for appointment from January 1, 2012 or soon as possible thereafter.  
   

Job description
This PhD study focusses on the intersection between stochastic differential equations (SDEs) and switching dynamics, a field only scarcely explored so far. The theoretical questions to be answered include: how to define solutions to SDEs with state dependent
switching, when solutions cannot be patched together of segments of positive time duration, what are the stochastic properties of such solutions, how do they relate to real life dynamic systems exposed to Brownian noise and rapid switching. The last question exposes the
practical relevance of the suggested study, since such systems appear
in great numbers in practical life. Theoretical solutions to mathematical models serve as idealized objects expected to resemble real life behavior. Since infinitely rapid switching never appears in practice, due to e.g. switching delays, one should require the
observed behavior to approach the theoretical one, when such imperfections approach zero. Fulfilling the latter requirement brings predictive power to the applied model, which is of paramount importance to any practical application of the theory.

You may obtain further information from Associate Professor Henrik Schiøler, Department of Electronic Systems , phone: +45 9940 8754  , email: henrik@es.aau.dk concerning the scientific aspects of the stipend.

PhD stipends are allocated to individuals who hold a Masters degree. PhD stipends are normally for a period of 3 years. It is a prerequisite for allocation of the stipend that the candidate will be enrolled as a PhD student at the Doctoral School of the Faculty of Engineering and Science, in accordance with the regulations of Ministerial Order No. 18 of January 14, 2008 on the PhD Programme at the Universities. According to the Ministerial Order, the progress of the PhD student shall be assessed every six months. It is a prerequisite for continuation of salary payment that the previous progress is approved at the time of the evaluation.

The qualifications of the applicant will be assessed by an assessment committee. On the basis of the recommendation of the assessment committee, the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Science will make a decision for allocating the stipend.

For further information about stipends and salary as well as practical issues concerning the application procedure contact Ms. Lisbeth Diinhoff, The Faculty of Engineering and Science, email: ld@adm.aau.dk , phone: +45 9940 9589.

The faculty have a research school, The Doctoral School of Engineering and Science: www.phd.teknat.aau.dk and a Network for all PhD students: www.pau.aau.dk
