We offer a broad range of courses and study programmes to match the skills in demand. We hope that you will help us to build the sustainable companies and societies of the future.The Automatic Control group at the Department of Computer Science, Electrical, and Space engineering at Luleå University of Technology is since long time established in the area of control and optimization of complex dynamic systems in, for example, the mining and process industry, energy production, energy distribution, data centres and food production. In these industries, there is a strong focus on sustainability and circularity and a need for research efforts in terms of control and optimization to achieve those. Recently, the group has been granted an EU funded research grant, addressing this problem. The research group is therefore looking for a committed person for a position as PhD student to be part of the research team in the project.
