PhD scholarship on Bio-inspired Computation at the Department of Computer Science at Loughborough University, UK

Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD position on the topic of "Computability Problems in Hybrid Systems" in the Department of Computer Science at Loughborough University, UK.

The project will mainly be to study computability questions in linear hybrid systems such as timed automata, piecewise affine maps and hybrid automata, although no background knowledge of these systems is required. Typical questions studied will be the decidability of reachability, convergence and stability in these systems.
