The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) invites applications for a tenured faculty position as a senior Industrial Research Chair in the area of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). CPS tightly couple cyber components, such as computation, network communication and control, with physical systems. An important aspect that sets the design of CPS apart from traditional embedded systems is the need to understand the joint dynamics of the cyber components and physical system. One of the department goals for this position is to leverage existing strengths (such as embedded systems, smart grids, sensor networks and communications) to better respond to CPS opportunities and to facilitate collaboration beyond ECE. A CPS research area that would fit well with this goal is one that focuses on the intersection of embedded computing networks and physical systems, for example, networked control of a distributed physical process.
This Chair is sponsored by Cisco Systems. A CPS application area that is of interest to Cisco Systems is the resource mining industry and thus, over time, some of the research activity of the Chair will need to focus on CPS applications related to mining. There are a number of international mining companies located in Saskatchewan that have expressed interest in working with the Chair. In addition, the University of Saskatchewan is located near a number of large underground mines that may be ideal industrial test-beds for CPS.
The Chair is expected to attract significant funding from government and industrial partners. The industrial funding committed to the chair by Cisco provides an opportunity for obtaining matching funds through an NSERC Senior Industrial Research Chair (IRC), for which the successful candidate is expected to apply.
