MERL is looking for a research intern to develop efficient transformer-informed stochastic MPC to control net-zero energy buildings. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact in the field of cutting-edge deep learning and predictive control on a real system. Publication of results produced during the internship is desired. The expected duration of the internship is 3-6 months with a flexible start date.

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

• Significant hands-on experience with stochastic MPC
  • Publications in SMPC are a strong plus
• Fluency in Python and PyTorch
• Understanding of probabilistic time-series prediction
• Experience with convex programming
  • Convex formulations of MPC/SMPC problems are a strong plus
• Completed their MS, or >50% of their PhD program
