MERL is looking for a highly motivated and qualified individual to work on optimization-based algorithms for coordination, scheduling, and motion planning of automated ground robots in uncertain surrounding environments. The ideal candidate should have experience in either one or multiple of the following topics: formulation of mixed-logic constraints as mixed-integer programs, connected vehicles and coordination, inter-robot collision avoidance, multi-agent scheduling, and traffic control systems. Prior experience with one or multiple traffic and/or multi-vehicle simulators (e.g., SUMO, CarSim, CARLA, etc.) is a plus. PhD students in engineering or mathematics, especially with a focus on research related to any of the above topics are encouraged to apply. Publication of relevant results in conference proceedings or journals is expected. Capability of implementing the designs and algorithms in MATLAB/Python is required; coding parts of the algorithms in C/C++ is a plus. The expected duration of the internship is 3 months, and the start date is flexible.

Research Areas: Control, Dynamical Systems, Machine Learning, Optimization, Robotics
