The research group of Purdue AAE Professor Daniel DeLaurentis has several funded graduate research assistant opportunities for outstanding PhD-seeking graduate students interested in high-speed systems/mission design research, especially enabled by AI/ML. Due to Department of Defense (DoD) regulations related to this research area, successful applicants for these graduate research assistantship will be US citizens.

To encourage high quality PhD students, the stipend for the assistantship will be well-higher than the normal rate for new PhD students. You can see a glimpse of some ongoing projects on the  "Research/Ongoing Projects" page of this website.

If you meet the above qualifications, please apply for the Purdue AAE PhD program and then contact Prof DeLaurentis once your application is submitted.
