Project summary
- An MSc degree in systems & control, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, physics, theoretical computer science, or a closely related field.
- Strong enthusiasm for mathematics and abstraction, matched with the motivation to conduct theory-driven research, the ability to develop rigorous mathematical arguments, and a drive to improve these skills.
- Curiosity about chaos, nonlinear dynamics, and unpredictability.
- Solid foundations in linear algebra and differential equations.
- Proficiency in scientific programming and an excellent command of English.
- Background in systems and control. For example, familiarity with stability analysis, state-space methods, jump-flow systems, or continuous-time and discrete-time LTI systems theory is a plus.
- Experience with mathematical modeling, optimization, numerical computation, algorithm development, or machine learning.
- Prior knowledge on nonlinear dynamics, dynamical systems theory, networked control systems, event-based control, discrete-event systems, or theoretical computer science is not a requirement, but it is an advantage.
