PhD Positions in Smart Manufacturing, Production Systems, and Energy Technologies (Spring/Fall 2026)
University of Connecticut — Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering
Advisor: Prof. Liang Zhang
The Smart Production Systems Lab at the University of Connecticut (UConn) is recruiting PhD students to begin in Spring and/or Fall 2026. We work at the intersection of smart manufacturing, control systems, production analytics, and energy efficiency, developing theory-driven and data-driven methods to improve the performance, reliability, and sustainability of complex industrial systems.
Research Areas
Students will have opportunities to conduct research in one or more of the following areas:
Smart Production Systems: State-based control, real-time bottleneck detection, throughput optimization, and resource allocation in discrete-part manufacturing.
Industrial Data Analytics: Change-point detection, predictive modeling, and performance diagnostics.
Energy Systems & Efficiency: Assessments of industrial energy systems (HVAC, chillers, RTUs, process equipment) and optimization techniques for reducing energy consumption.
Cyber-Physical Manufacturing Systems: Integration of sensing, data platforms, and control algorithms for real-time system optimization.
Applied Control & Optimization: Modeling and dynamic control of manufacturing, energy, and robotic systems.
Qualifications
Applicants should have:
A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related fields
Strong analytical and quantitative skills
Experience or interest in systems modeling, control theory, optimization, or data analytics
Proficiency in one or more tools: Python, MATLAB, statistical modeling, machine learning.
Strong communication skills and motivation for independent research
Prior research experience (e.g., undergraduate research, MS thesis, internships) is a plus but not required.
Funding
Fully funded positions are available through research assistantships (RA) and/or teaching assistantships (TA), including:
Full tuition waiver
Competitive stipend
Health insurance benefits
How to Apply
Interested candidates should prepare materials outlined below and email to me:
Please email the materials as a single PDF to:
