About this position
PhD opportunity at Mines Paris-PSL, Centre PERSEE, in Sophia Antipolis, France, on Trustworthy AI for Predictive Control of Multi-Energy Systems.
The thesis focuses on low-carbon multi-energy systems that integrate electricity, heat, gas, hydrogen, storage, renewable generation, and flexible demand. The research combines energy systems, predictive control, reinforcement learning, physics-informed AI, and real-time simulation to develop safe and reliable AI controllers for complex infrastructures.
Key topics include digital twins, uncertainty-aware control, robustness, explainability, safe operating boundaries, distributed control, and Hardware-in-the-Loop validation. The project aims to ensure real-time feasibility and physical consistency while exploiting flexibility across multi-energy networks.
The position is supported by the PEPR FutuRE program funded under France 2030, with links to the European project Fair4Communities (2027-2030).
Eligibility: Engineer and/or Master of Science degree. Applicants may apply before receiving the master's degree, but the PhD will start only after the degree is obtained. A strong background in at least two of the following is expected: systems control, artificial intelligence/data science/machine learning, applied mathematics/statistics/probabilities, and power systems. Programming skills are required; good French is desirable and excellent English is required.
How to apply: Send a CV, motivation letter, transcripts, last diploma, and contact details of two referees by email. Use the subject line PHD-2026-ERSEI-FUTURE-PredControl. Contact Prof. Georges Kariniotakis, with copy to Dr. Sergio-Daniel Montana-Salas.
Deadline: 2026-10-23. The position remains open until a suitable candidate is found.
