Thesis Topics
Our groups current research activities are focused on the following three directions:
- Real-Time Systems, including formal timing analyses, scheduling algorithm design, real-time operating systems, Worst Case Execution Time, etc.
- Please contact Junjie Shi, Niklas Ueter, Mario Günzel, Nils Hölscher and Ching-Chi Lin
- Embedded Systems, including system software development, design and optimization for emerging architectures, etc.
- Please contact Christian Hakert and Nils Hölscher
- Resource-constrained Data Analyses, including error tolerant neural networks, architecture-aware data analyses, etc.
- Please contact Mikail Yayla and Mojtaba Masoudinejad
- Autonomous Robots, including autonomous navigation with cars, simulation, communication, control systems, etc.
- Please contact Harun Teper
