    Vehicle Dynamics and Control

We invite applications from all engineering disciplines, and are looking for a wide spectrum of skills - ranging from core algorithm development in perception, planning, and control; to front-end GUI development, vehicle dynamics and simulation, control systems and optimization, experience with LiDAR and RADAR data, aerodynamics, software integration, video-editing, design, and many more (see application form for the complete list).

Students also conduct an independent study, MS thesis centered around their team roles.

Applications for 2024 are now Open! Closed
[Deadline 11:59pm 03/04/24]
