Scientific Assistants/Interns
We are always looking for student assistants and interns with good programming skills, especially in C/C++, Python, or Matlab. We offer a variety of practical activities in our projects. In addition, other large software packages (for example, dSpace, Labview) are often used, where the possibility exists. The remuneration is to be agreed upon.
KL-Regelungstechnik-Seminar
The seminar »KL-Regelungstechnik« (Kaiserslautern – Control Theory and Control Engineering) is organized by our department as well as several research groups of the TU Kaiserslautern:
- Technomathematics (Dep. of Mathematics)
- Mechatronics in Mechenical and Automotive Engineering (Dep. of Mechanical and Process Engineering)
- Automation Control (Dep. of Electrical and Computer Engineering)
- Electromobility (Dep. of Electrical and Computer Engineering)
The seminar takes place at the ITWM every 1st Tuesday of a month (besides holidays and summer break). Aims are broadening of experiences and exchange of scientific views – also beyond the organizing groups.
Typical subjects of talks are:
- ongoing or recently finished graduations and doctoral theses
- current research and projects
The topics vary from mathematical methods to technical implementations. Usually, the talks present research results. However, some show open issues for brainstorming and inputs from the audience.
The talks as well as the subsequent scientific discussion are in English or German.
