Offer Description
This applied PhD will develop temporal causal-inference methods for multivariate time series from building sensor networks. Temporal causality is the scientific core: the project will develop models of causal and dynamical relationships from complex, noisy data, incorporating partial structural knowledge and domain expertise. The methods will be evaluated on their ability to distinguish sensor faults from legitimate operational changes, detect physical equipment malfunctions, and validate or reconstruct energy-flow graphs.
Methodological research, implementation, and validation on real-world industrial data will be carried out with a partner active in building energy and property management.
