Dr. Huadong Mo is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Systems and Computing, University of New South Wales, Australia. He received a B.E. degree in automation from the University of Science and Technology of China, China, in 2012 and a Ph.D. degree in systems engineering and engineering management from the City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, in 2016. He was a research associate at the Reliability and Risk Engineering Lab, Institute of Energy Technology, ETH Zurich, Switzerland, from 2016 to 2019 and a Lecturer at the School of Engineering and Information Technology, University of New South Wales at Canberra, Australia, from 2019 to 2021. His research aims to enhance the resilience, performance, and security of complex systems with learning-based algorithms, which primarily lay in the emerging field of power and energy systems, cyber-physical systems, and manufacturing systems, leveraging the capacity to collect and analyze data to reveal patterns of system evolution against uncertainties.
***Scholarships of $38,438 (AUD) are available for Ph.D. students who achieved High Distinction (H1) in their undergraduate program and/or have completed a Master’s degree by Research.***
***A new research proposal is needed based on our further discussions***
Several types of scholarships are available (International Postgraduate Research Scholarships & China Scholarship Council (CSC) Sponsored Studies); however, admission and scholarship applications are highly competitive. Undergraduate Students (Top 15%) or Master Students (Top 20%) in Automation, Statistics, Mathematics, Electrical Electronics, or Computer Science are highly preferred, but students in other subjects with similar competence are also welcome. A self-assessment tool is available to get a general feel for your competitiveness. You need to meet the English language requirements (refer to UNSW Canberra: TOEFL (IBT) 90 overall (min. 23 in writing, 22 in reading, listening, and speaking) and IELTS (Academic) 6.5 overall (min. 6.0 in each subset)). In addition, during your Ph.D. study, possible Ph.D. exchange with other top universities is encouraged, e.g. ETH Zurich, Cambridge, UCB, MIT, Université Paris Saclay, CityU of HK, NTNU, Tsinghua University, and NUS, and attending international conferences is also sponsored.
If you are eligible and interested in working with me on the following (or closely related) topics or keywords, please send me your CV, academic transcripts, the result of the self-assessment, and a research proposal consisting of Research Motivation, Research Problems, Research Objectives, a Brief Review of the most relevant Literature, Proposed Methodology (discussing your proposed approach to answer the RP&ROs including the type of data you need and how you will get them, techniques, etc.) and Expected Outcome (including a timetable over 3.5 years).
