Internships

Are you enrolled in the "Computer engineering" master track and would like to do an external project for the ET4399 course? Please contact Stefan Dulman for ooportunities at Almende BV, Chess BV, Sense Observation Systems, TNO, etc.

MSc Available Projects

We are currently looking for master students to join our group. If you are interested, please come by to discuss possible topics (contact person: Stefan Dulman). You can find a presentation outlining the available research topics here. Alternatively, you can do an external project with an embedded-systems oriented company. We do have a few industrial contacts with open projects (for example, check available assignments at TNO), but are also interested in new collaborations, so you may take the opportunity to find a company and research topic yourself.

A brief outlook of possible MSc topics in our group:

• Comparing approaches for mitigating external interference
• Spectrum-based diagnosis for wireless sensor networks
