Te Whiwhinga mahi The opportunity
We are seeking a PostDoctoral Fellow to join the Department of Electrical Computer and Software Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering and Design. This researchfocused role is part of a collaborative project with Google exploring the design of scalable synchronous applications using logical synchrony networks.
In this role you will:
- Develop a case study of a cyberphysical system (CPS) using logical synchrony networks from Google.
- Develop examples of CPS applications that may encompass autonomous systems in space and in road transport (e.g. landing spacecraft proximity operations adaptive cruise control in cars).
- Explore the use of control barrier functions and similar methods (e.g. control contraction metrics funnel synthesis) for safe autonomous guidance and verification.
- Formal verification of CPS based on both runtime and static methods.
- Collaborate with the research group of the PI as well as other research groups in ECSE as well as the space institute.
- Presentation for Google engineers from the bittide team on a regular basis.
