Each semester, the Systems Control and Optimization Laboratory offers student assistant positions and master/bachelor theses for outstanding students with a strong background and interest in systems, control and optimization, in programming, or in embedded control systems. Thus, we require that students have completed some of our advanced lectures (Bachelor: Systemtheorie&Regelungstechnik, Optimization, Master: Modelling and System Identification, Numerical Optimization, Numerical Optimal Control) successfully.
