Several opportunities are available for skilled and motivated students interested in joining the lab. Students who wish to pursue research in the areas of control, robotics, system dynamics are always welcome. In general, we focus on applications to the marine and aerospace communities. Our projects have a basis in fundamental research and theoretical development with experimental validation using industrial or laboratory hardware. Knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink and LabVIEW is very useful.
Graduate Students
We are currently searching to fill a PhD position whose work would focus on determining the optimal time and mothership conditions to recover a tethered underwater sensor or vehicle. Alternatively, MASc and PhD positions are available to work on various aspects of maritime crane and winch control systems.
