Internships

Are you enrolled in the "Computer engineering" master track and would like to do an external project for the ET4399 course? Please contact Marco Zuniga for opportunities 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: Marco Zuniga). 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 and ABB), 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:

• Development of a real-time kite-power system simulator (@ faculty aerospace engineering)
• Virtual Motion From Motionless Testbeds
• Decentralized Train Boarding (@ TNO)
• RF Impairment Compensation Techniques for a Multi-Standard Low-Power Radio (@ IMEC)
• Feasibility Study of Heterogeneous Networks (@ Ziggo)
• Preserving Privacy on Smart Phones
• External Cooperation Enforcement for Mobile Femto-cells
