PhD position

PhD Position: Physics-Informed Generative AI for Synthetic Energy Data

Radboud University · Nijmegen, Netherlands

Posted · Deadline:

Project description

Official university vacancy imported from Radboud University. Details are presented for discovery and may change. Confirm the latest requirements and apply on the official source.

  • You will design and compare deep generative approaches, UAEs, GANs, diffusion models/flow matching, and Gaussian processes for realistic load, generation and voltage time series.
  • You will embed physical constraints into generation: power-flow consistency (Kirchhoff's laws) as soft or hard constraints, operational bounds (voltage limits, capacity, phase balance), and network topology through graph neural network architectures.
  • You will build validated benchmark datasets and an evaluation framework covering statistical fidelity, temporal and spatial structure, physical plausibility and downstream task performance (e.g. train-synthetic-test-real forecasting).
  • You will collaborate with a fellow PhD candidate and a postdoctoral researcher on integrating differential privacy into the generative pipeline, balancing privacy guarantees against data utility.
  • You will contribute to an open-source synthetic data toolbox that DSOs, municipalities and researchers across the Netherlands will actually use.

Funding and compensation

Paid position. See the original posting for amounts, duration and conditions.
