| Project Name | Green Power: Exploring Renewable Vegetable Oil as a Sustainable Insulating Alternative in Transformers |
| Project Description | This environmental-engineering project investigates the feasibility of replacing petroleum-based mineral oils in power transformers with biodegradable vegetable oils (natural esters). The research addresses the dual challenges of resource depletion and environmental toxicity by synthesizing and testing oils derived from sources like soy, rapeseed, or mustard. Key focus areas include improving dielectric strength and thermal stability through the addition of nanoparticles, creating "nanofluids" that can withstand higher electrical stresses. The project employs machine learning and statistical analysis to predict oil degradation patterns and optimize the blend ratios for maximum insulation efficiency. It is funded by the Directorate of Technical Education (DOTE), Tamil Nadu. |
| Duration | Initially six months, extendable based on performance |

1 Project Assistant (Department of EEE) vacancy at Anna University (AU Chennai)
Eligible candidates are required to submit applications for 1 post of Project Assistant (Department of EEE) on fixed-term basis under a research project at Anna University (AU Chennai). Applications must be submitted on or before 27-03-2026.
| Post Name | Project Assistant (Department of EEE) |
| Project Name | Intelligent Digital Twin-Assisted Predictive Control for Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Systems |
| Project Description | This advanced engineering project aims to optimize wastewater treatment by creating a Digital Twin—a real-time virtual replica—of a Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) system. The primary challenge addressed is "uncertain wastewater conditions," where fluctuating pollutant loads often lead to membrane fouling or inefficient processing. By integrating Model Predictive Control (MPC) and machine learning, the system anticipates these fluctuations and adjusts operating parameters (like aeration and flux) autonomously. The project utilizes IoT-based data acquisition to feed real-time sensor data into the digital model, ensuring high-fidelity monitoring and predictive maintenance. It is funded by the Directorate of Technical Education (DOTE), Tamil Nadu. |
| Duration | Initially six months, extendable based on performance |
| Vacancy | 1 |
| Qualification | - First Class (Min. 60% or 6.5 CGPA) in M.E/M.Tech Engineering/Technology with strong knowledge in Control systems, Machine learning, MATLAB, Python, Simulink, Data analytics, Technical report writing. Desirable: Strong knowledge in Digital Twin modeling, knowledge of Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) systems, and understanding of Predictive Control / Model Predictive Control (MPC).
- Hands-on experience in Python for Machine learning and Data Analytics, proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, familiarity with IoT-based data acquisition and real-time monitoring.
|
| Monthly Salary | Rs. 25,000/- per month |
| Selection Process | Interviews will be held for candidates shortlisted initially on the basis of their academic qualifications. |
| Application Fee | Nil (No fee is required to be paid) |
