Openings

---

• Prospective Ph.D. Students: Students interested in Ph.D. studies with full financial aid at PEESE are encouraged to apply for one of the following Cornell graduate programs:
  • Ph.D. program in Systems
  • Ph.D. program in Applied Mathematics
  • Ph.D. program in Electrical and Computer Engineering
  • Ph.D. program in Civil and Environmental Engineering
  • Ph.D. program in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
  • Ph.D. program in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
  • Ph.D. program in Operations Research and Information Engineering

• PEESE has openings for self-funded M.S. students, who plan to continue graduate study in one of the Ph.D. programs listed above. We could provide full/partial financial aid to M.S. students making good progress after one semester/year.
• Due to the interdisciplinary nature of our research, PEESE Ph.D. students typically take a few graduate courses on operations research, artificial intelligence, and/or computer science. In particular, our PhD students take ORIE 6300 Mathematical Programming I, ORIE 6336 Integer Programming, or CS 6780: Advanced Machine Learning, in addition to CHEME/SYSEN 6800 Computational Optimization. Other courses offered by PEESE, such as ChemE/SysEn 6880: Industrial Big Data Analytics & Machine Learning and ChemE/SysEn 6888: Deep Learning, are encouraged but are not required.

• Prospective M.Eng. Students: We are excited to offer research opportunities to M.Eng. students in Chemical Engineering at Cornell. Our M.Eng. projects covers a variety of topics, including data science, energy systems, computational modeling, manufacturing, process/product design, and bio-/pharmaceutical engineering. CBE M.Eng. students interested in PEESE are very welcome to contact Prof. You for M.Eng. projects through CHEME 5650/5999. We are particularly proud of the M.Eng. awards won by former PEESE. students.

• Postdoctoral Positions: We do not have funding at this time to support any postdoc. Applicants with independent financial support or third-party funding are encouraged to inquire about possible openings. We may sponsor candidates with suitable background and strong publication records to compete for some Cornell internal postdoc fellowships, including Presidential Postdoc Fellowship, CESI Postdoc Fellowship, ACSF Postdoc Fellowship and Ezra Systems Scholars.
