Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Applications in Power Electronics and Power Devices

The DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory is seeking a qualified researcher to perform work in the areas of machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), power electronics and power semiconductor devices through the Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP). The selected applicant will perform research in power semiconductor module-level AI/ML implementation on embedded systems. These systems will utilize new and existing sensor devices and techniques to allow the module to autonomously alter its trade space parameters. Responsibilities include performing an extensive literature review of existing AI/ML algorithms, designing and building power semiconductor module prototypes with embedded computational power to execute AI/ML algorithms, implementing AI/ML algorithms in the embedded system, setting up a suitable testbed to analyze and validate the benefits of the AI/ML implementation, and writing reports and making presentations to document research outcomes. The ARL-RAP is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army.
