M.Sc. Thesis Projects

We are continuously Looking for M.Sc. students interested in a thesis project within the fields of:

  • cybersecurity and privacy,

  • resilient control systems,

  • fault detection,

  • data-driven methods for security, anomaly detection, control,

  • learning, control and optimization.

Please take a look at list of open projects below and contact me for further information.

If you already have a project idea within cybersecurity or related areas, feel free to discuss it with me!
