Learning and Intelligent Systems (ALIS) group in the Computational
Science Center at NREL is looking for a motivated postdoc to
support machine learning research for decision support. The postdoc
should be dynamic, motivated, and have a strong interest in
advancing the renewable energy mission of NREL.The postdoc will
contribute to an interdisciplinary research project that connects
machine learning (ML), uncertainty quantification, and turbulent
flow simulations, and that leverages high-performance computing.
AI/ML is increasingly impacting research domains across NREL, and
it is deployed to alleviate the computational expense associated
with complex simulations. To fully reap the benefits of
AI/ML-augmented simulations ("hybrid simulations") for decision
support, we must be able to quantify the uncertainty associated
with ML predictions and intelligently collect additional data to
improve ML model performance.We are looking for a postdoc with a
strong technical background and broad experience in AI who is eager
to develop new approaches that leverage AI and integrates them with
turbulent flow simulations. The successful candidate will
collaborate with NREL staff and researchers, and other national
labs to develop new approaches to enable decision support aligned
with the NREL and EERE mission and goals.Job duties include:
- Collaborate with NREL researchers to design and implement AI
algorithms, uncertainty quantification methods for AI models, and
their deployment on HPC systems.
- Deploy AI developments to enhance turbulent flow
simulations.
- Author, present and assist in the preparation of technical
papers, reports and conference proceedings on topics related to AI,
uncertainty quantification, and turbulent flow simulations, and
their application on HPC..Basic QualificationsMust be a recent PhD
