We are looking for a Research Associate/Research Fellow to work on the project titled “Toward Cognitive Digital Twin as A Unified Platform for Smart Cities: Governance, Sustainability and Applications”, in collaboration with ITB, Bandung, Indonesia under the INSPIRASI program. The role will focus on developing machine learning and mathematical optimization solutions for electric vehicle fleet charging optimization under different constraints.JOB IS FROM: italents.netVIEW

Key Responsibilities:

• Formulate and develop machine learning and mathematical optimization solutions for electric vehicle (EV) fleet charging scheduling problems with considerations of various smart power grids, battery degradation, and infrastructure level constraints.

• Conduct and coordinate research within NTU and collaborating partners in line with its research strategy.

• Publish research outcomes in journals of international standing; Attend and present research findings and papers at academic meetings.

• Collaborate closely with our partner ITB to apply solutions in a local context, using data available with ITB.

• Assist ITB in the development of their digital twin platform by integrating the solutions developed in NTU into their platform.

Job Requirements:

• Masters in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field (for Research Associate)

• PhD in smart grids, energy management, or mathematical optimizations (for Research Fellow). The candidates who have submitted the thesis are also encouraged to apply.

• Background in the application of machine learning and mathematical optimization techniques, including reinforcement learning

• Proven publication track record in similar domains for Research Fellow position

• Proficiency in written and spoken English for research work.

• Interpersonal skill (e.g. Ability to work independently / develop solutions under strict timelines, meticulous

• and eye for details / excellent organizational / time management skills)

• Desirable: Background in the modeling of energy management systems (e.g., buildings, batteries, smart grids, vehicle-to-grid, etc.).
