Project Details:

Event-based Adaptive Filtered Predictive PI Controller for WirelessHART Networked Control Systems

The main aim of this research is to develop an event-based adaptive filtered predictive PI controller for WirelessHART networked system to compensate for stochastic nature of the network, by optimizing the performance of the developed controller through the selection of optimal parameters by means of optimisation algorithms and to implement and evaluate the performance of the proposed strategy for flow and temperature control.

Essential Qualification:

Possess at least a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering and Masters degree in the related field.

Financial incentives:

Monthly stipend and the opportunity to graduate with a PhD in Electrical & Electronic Engineering with tuition-fee waiver.

Interested?

Kindly e-mail Dr Fawnizu at fawnizu@gmail.com immediately with your background information. Please include your current Curriculum Vitae (CV) in the email.
