Openings

Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate students at OSU who are interested in working with Dr. Cui on research are encouraged to schedule an appointment by email. To be eligible for funded opportunities, please reach out by the end of June every year.

Master’s Student Positions

Master’s student positions are currently only offered to students who are enrolled at OSU. Students focusing on power and energy systems, scientific computing, or software engineering with a strong interest in programming are encouraged to contact Dr. Cui.

PhD Student Positions

The Sustainable Energy Systems Laboratory (SENSL) at Oklahoma State University is accepting applications for multiple fully funded Ph.D. students for fall

  1. The successful candidates will work with Prof. Hantao Cui in one of the following areas in collaboration with national laboratories and industry partners:

  2. High-performance scientific computing for power system simulations. Understanding of computational methods in power systems in required. Proficiency in one of the following programming languages is required: C, Python, Julia, C++, or Rust. Knowledge of CUDA, FPGA, or distributed memory systems is a plus.

Candidates who meet the above requirements with a strong background in power, control, or computing are required. Candidates with a Master’s degree in related fields will be given preferences.

Please send inquiries to Hantao Cui [email protected] with your CV, transcripts, TOEFL/IELTS/GRE scores, and one sample publication (or a link to a code repository) if applicable. A minimum GPA of 80% and a GRE Analytical Writing score of 3.5 is required. Also, check out the graduate application process at https://gradcollege.okstate.edu/application-process/index.html. All inquiries will be carefully reviewed. Please understand that due to the high volume of emails, it is impossible to reply to every inquiry. Dr. Cui will follow up if further actions are needed.

Prof. Cui is the author of the power system analysis software ANDES, which is being used worldwide in universities and laboratories for research. He is presently developing laboratory facilities for high-performance power systems computing and real-time closed-loop simulation. For further information regarding research, please see the Sustainable Energy Systems Laboratory website at https://sensl.ece.okstate.edu.

The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Oklahoma State University has a history of strong power programs. Students have access to the OSU Pete Supercomputer and state-of-the-art computing facilities. Oklahoma State University is in Stillwater, Oklahoma, a safe city of 50,000 residents with affordable housing of high quality. Stillwater is about 65 miles from two cosmopolitan cities—Tulsa and Oklahoma City—that are replete with restaurants, entertainment, museums, sporting events, major airports, and shopping.

Applications for admission in the fall of 2022 are due March 31, 2023.
