Job# IVHM 1.0

Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) technologies for current aircraft and next generation aircraft - The goal is to develop technologies, tools, and techniques to enable the automated detection, diagnosis, prognosis, and mitigation of adverse events and risks during flight. Adverse events and risks include those that arise from system, subsystem, or component faults or failures due to damage, degradation, or environment hazards that occur during flight. Research focuses on ‘hardware’ aspects of the aircraft and on methods that are applicable to automated detection, diagnosis, prognostics, and mitigation of adverse events and risks due to aircraft software. Recent studies indicate that safety risks remain with hardware malfunctions and computer software-related flaws. These problems will escalate in next generation aircraft due to the complexity that comes with more advanced, sophisticated capabilities and the greater reliance on automation.

Requirements:
Graduate students in computer, electrical, mechanical, or aerospace engineering programs are preferred.
Advanced undergraduates will also be considered.
US citizenship required.
Application Deadline: Open until position is filled.

Applications must include the following:
CV, cover letter (referencing Job# IVHM 1.0), and letter of recommendation
