DA1602: Reinforcement Learning for HVAC systems
MERL is looking for a self-motivated and qualified candidate to work on air flow control of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. The ideal candidate is a PhD student and should have experience and records in multiple of the following areas: fluid dynamics, control theory, reinforcement learning, familiarity with partial differential equations. Proficiency in Python and Matlab is required. The successful candidate will be expected to develop, in collaboration with MERL employees, a state of the art algorithms for air flow control that will lead to a scientific publication. Typical internship length is 3 months. This internship is preferred to be onsite at MERL, but may be done remotely where you live if the COVID pandemic makes it necessary.
