  • Ph.d. Position in Autonomous Robotic Systems and Sensor Development for Infrastructure Monitoring
    Mechanical Engineering
    University of South Carolina

    Are you intrested in doing a Ph.D. in autonomous robotic systems and sensor development for infrastructure monitoring? Are you interested in developing cyber-physical systems with edge computing capabilities, particularly focused on sensors for monitoring the systems around us that make up our infrastructure? Do you have expertise in UAV development, deep-learning-based autonomous systems, edge computing, and system integration? The ARTS-Lab at the University of South Carolina is looking for a single Ph.D. student to work on a range of projects focused on developing next-generation autonomous and autonomously deployed sensing systems. The ideal candidate should be able to develop UAV systems and controllers (ROS) from scratch and have experience in deploying machine learning models (YOLO) to edge computing devices. This work will involve creating collaborative UAV systems enabling AI/ML at the edge using this novel hardware for a range of sensing applications.

    We expect well-positioned candidates to have an M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Civil Engineering (with appropriate experience). All quality candidates will be considered. The Ph.D. position will be within the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

    If you are interested in such a challenging position, please do two things. First, read these papers

    If the development of these systems is of interest to you and you possess some of the skills listed above, please reach out to me at austindowney@sc.edu. Please put "Robotics/Sensors Ph.D. Position" in the subject line and send me your application documents as you see fit. GRE scores are encouraged but not required. please provide a cover letter on how your skills align with the project, using The desired skills and background in this post as a starting point. We are looking for a student to start January 2025, or potentially May 2025.
