Student Projects and Theses

I am constantly looking for motivated students who are interested in my field of research. Topics range from Optimal Control to Learning Control, Networked Control and Robotics.
Please contact me via e-mail if you are interested in working on a thesis (e.g., bachelor or master thesis) under my supervision, even if no open topics are currently listed.

Please include your preferred starting date as well as your CV and transcript of records in your e-mail. This helps me to select a topic matching your background.
