Requisition Id 17135 Overview: We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate - Modeling, Controls, and AI for Thermal Systems to advance the design, operation, and maintenance of thermal systems through data-driven modeling and optimization. The successful candidate will work at the intersection of thermal-fluid sciences, control theory, and artificial intelligence/machine learning to advance the design and operation of next-generation thermal systems, developing strategies to model, optimize, predict, and autonomously control thermal systems behavior in complex systems. The candidate will contribute to developing and improving the performance of next-generation thermal systems-including HVAC, water heating, and data center cooling-at both the system and component level. This position resides in the Building Equipment Research Group in the Buildings and Transportation Science Division in the Energy Science and Technology Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)....
