About this position

Can thousands of autonomous agents, each with only local information, reach decisions that are optimal, stable and provably fair? In this PhD you will build the distributed optimization and control theory that answers this question. You will design scalable multi-agent algorithms with fairness built in , handle uncertainty with stochastic and robust methods, and prove convergence, stability and fairness guarantees . Your testbed will be one of the largest and most demanding networked systems there is: the electricity distribution grid, where thousands of solar panels, heat pumps and electric v
