Role overview
IMOS The Intelligent Maintenance and Operations Systems (IMOS) Lab at EPFL is looking for a motivated and out-of-the-box thinking PhD researcher, (100%, in Lausanne, fixed-term) starting in September or upon agreement.
Project description The objective of this project is to develop novel methodologies based on (multi-agent) reinforcement learning for health-aware control of complex engineering systems.
The research will focus on integrating system health and degradation dynamics into control strategies, enabling decision-making that jointly optimizes performance and long-term asset reliability.
