The University of Bristol's School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology is offering a PhD position focused on scalable intelligent planning for partially observable uncertain systems. Modern infrastructure, including power grids, water networks, and transportation systems, relies on sustainable and continuous operation. However, these 'systems of systems' are complex, nonlinear, and often stochastic, making their management a significant scientific and logistical challenge. Small local fail...
