7. PhD Candidate in Reinforcement Learning to Improve Maintenance Strategies

Summary of Doctoral Project:

We have a vacancy for a PhD Candidate at Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. Operations of complex technical systems such as railways networks, offshore oil and gas platforms, or autonomous cyber physical systems are subject to uncertainties, making the system drifting from its regular operations. Maintenance interventions may prevent incidents and accidents, yet also with costs, induced down times, and must therefore be optimized. It would be possible to perform “on demand” maintenance, via health monitoring of components, devices, or subsystems. The PhD position consists in studying concepts, methods, and tools to assess the performance of maintenance policies in view of optimizing them.
