?? We’re hiring Ph.D. Students in NEST-VT and the Sustainable Energy and Environments (SEE) Lab!Have you ever wondered how we can learn from hashtag#nature's hashtag#ecosystems to design hashtag#SustainableEnergy systems in hashtag#BuiltEnvironments? Join a collaborative team at hashtag#UVM dedicated to advancing clean energy and tackling hashtag#ClimateChallenges with innovative, sustainable solutions.hashtag#EnvironmentalEngineersForEnergy hashtag#PhDRecruitment hashtag#LifeCycleAssessment hashtag#Biomimicry hashtag#SystemsThinking hashtag#STEM …more Join our team!! The Next-gen Energy Systems Team of Vermont (NEST-VT) is recruiting highly motivated and creative Ph.D. students for Fall 2025. NEST-VT sits in the Center for Resilient Energy & Autonomous Technologies in Engineering (CREATE)! So, if you feel like you can make something work that matters, then reach out and apply and let's ?? ?? ?? ? ?? for ??!Specifically, our newest colleague Prof. Kathryn Hinkelman's SEE Lab is recruiting multiple Ph.D. students interested in: 1) designing and modeling thermal energy storage (esp. sand/silica storage); and 2) design and optimization of multi-energy hub systems.Also, Prof. Samuel Chevalier is also recruiting a new Ph.D. student to advance machine learning verification methods for power/energy applications.Recommended background: an applicant should be able to demonstrate effective communication skills (written/verbal/visual), an ability to work independently within a larger team, and have experience with at least 2 of the following:? Mathematical analysis (e.g., numerical methods, logic, dynamics, stochastic processes, learning)? Power and energy systems (e.g., AC load flow, OPF, load modeling, microgrids, power cycles, or DERs)? Building and thermofluid systems (e.g., HVAC/R, district energy, or thermal storage)? Control systems (e.g., classical and modern control, stability analysis, or predictive control)To apply: We encourage you to reach out to us via email (see contact info below). Please use email subject header containing hashtag#Fall2025 and include the following: 1) A concise statement about your research interests/experiences2) Describe which collaborative opportunity (see below) is of interest and why3) Your CV and unofficial transcripts along with any language scores.Good luck to us all!CC: Amritanshu Pandey …more
