PhD and Post-doc positions

I currently have an opening for a PhD position. Excellent prospective PhD and Post-doc candidates may send me their CV, publication list, transcript, motivation letter and 2-3 references.

Excellent researchers looking for a postdoctoral position may also contact me.

Student project supervision

I am supervising several student projects in multi-robot motion planning and control, navigation in dynamic environments, human-swarm interaction and intelligent transportation.

Master Thesis projects (tries to be up to date)

Environmental monitoring with teams of robots [pdf]

Human-swarm interaction and control [pdf]

Decision making for self-driving cars in urban environments [pdf]

On-demand ride-sharing for smart public transportation [pdf]

Students interested in a project may contact me and provide the following information:

- Why are you interested in this project? What would you like to achieve?
- What is your experience relevant to this project? This could be past projects, past courses; theoretical knowledge or practical experience, related to constrained optimization, planning and/or robotics.
