FULL-TIME ACADEMIC POSITION IN AUTOMATIC CONTROL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Ecole Polytechnique de Bruxelles
Tenure Track: The starting contract is 3 years. After the first 3 years period, an evaluation of the scientific and teaching activities will be carried out. Following a positive evaluation, the position will become tenured.

Discipline: This professorship aims at catering for the teaching and research needs of the ULB in the domain of Automatic Control and its applications. The increasing complexity of systems together with the sustainability challenges that our society faces (e.g. the need for more flexibility in the energy grid, the need to optimize performances, lifetime, and to reduce pollution generated by plants, the need for more automation required by the ageing population, the arising of autonomous vehicles, etc.) is resulting in a very high demand for Automatic Control and System Theory, both as a fundamental aspect of the training of new engineers, and as a research subject.

Distinctive features of Teaching Automatic Control at ULB: A major distinctive feature of the ULB teaching in Automatic Control is that, besides providing a high-quality theoretical background, it also provides a cutting edge “teaching by practice” experience. Since the 1960s ULB has heavily invested on hands-on teaching, developing a complete and well-structured control teaching laboratory consisting of various pilot processes representative of very different application domains (ranging from energy to robotics and mechatronics, process control, and aeronautics). This distinctive feature is highly appreciated by our students and by our international visitors. The selected candidate commits to continue and further develop this distinctive feature of teaching Automatic Control disciplines at ULB.

Distinctive features of Research in Automatic Control at ULB: A distinctive feature of research in Automatic Control at ULB is the explicit philosophy of carrying out in parallel both advanced theoretical research and relevant applied research. This kind of approach has proved very beneficial over the years, both in terms of impact in the local industry, but also in terms of identifying valuable research problems and directions. Another distinctive feature is the tradition to cooperate with researchers from very different disciplines and to explore fields that are apparently very far from each other (including all the fields of technology, but also other fields such as biology and medicine), both within ULB and outside. The selected candidate commits to continue and further develop this distinctive research philosophy, by performing both theoretical and applied research. Whenever possible the candidate will focus on applications with a high impact on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Department Affiliation: The academic position will be based in the SAAS Department (Service d’Automatique et d’Analyse des Systèmes - Control and Systems Analysis Department). This department serves as the reference center for Automatic Control within the university. The department is well-equipped with a wide range of research facilities and demonstrators. Notable equipment includes: a comprehensive battery testing facility with over 100 testing channels for test-cycling of both battery cells and modules (up to 250V/50A), a motion capture flight arena for robotics experiments, and multiple robotic systems (drones, manipulators, mobile platforms) of different sizes and capacities. The department also includes a well-equipped rapid-prototyping workshop and technical personnel with remarkable experience in the conception and development of new research and teaching equipment.

Teaching Load: The first year of activity of this academic position will have no course to teach to allow the new academic to get used to the environment, prepare the material for the courses that will be taught in subsequent years, submit research project proposals and, if needed, to improve their French. Starting from the second year, the teaching load foreseen for this position will include two bachelor courses:

1. Automatique, MATHH304, 5 ECTS (taught to Bachelor 3rd year course for the engineering programme and to Master 1st year course for the bioengineering programme) and associated partim courses (Instrumentation et Automatique, ELECH3002, and Projet integré biomedical, PROJH3000) (this course could be taught in English or in French)
2. Signaux et Systèmes, MATHH3001, 5 ECTS (taught to Bachelor 3rd year course for the engineering programme, in French).

These two courses will be complemented by one elective course to be offered to Electrical and Electromechanical Engineering students in the Master 2nd year (in English). The content of this last course can be designed based on the interests/expertise of the selected candidate.
