Get support in choosing a master’s

As a master’s student in Embedded Systems, you are going to learn from some of the world’s best teachers and researchers in the fields of computer science and electrical engineering. What’s more, you will have the opportunity to contribute with your own research. 

Do you want to know which groups you can join? Below is a selection of the related groups and the research they carry out.

  • Robotics and Mechatronics (RaM)

    The Robotics and Mechatronics research group specialises in designing and developing advanced robotics and mechatronics. In addition to modelling and simulation, the group constructs robotics systems for healthcare, infrastructure inspection and maintenance, security, safety, and agriculture, among other fields. The multi-disciplinary research makes use of port-based concepts (bond-graphs, port-Hamiltonian systems, and process-oriented software structures).

  • Integrated Circuit Design (ICD)

    The central focus of the Integrated Circuit Design research group is analogue and radio frequency integrated circuit design. The team is active in various design clusters, such as wireless receivers and transmitters, timing circuits, and analogue-to-digital or digital-to-analogue converters. The group develops disruptive electronic circuit ideas that are evaluated in test chips at our test lab.

  • Data Management and Biometrics (DMB)

    Today’s rapid digitalisation comes with a lot of challenges. How should fairness, data quality, trust, and threats such as fake news be addressed? This requires an interdisciplinary approach bridging fields such as computational statistics, machine learning, image and signal processing, information retrieval, and data processing and management. The Data Management and Biometrics group develops methods for autonomous, reliable, and robust gathering, preparation, and analysis of data to enable trustworthy and explainable results.

  • Computer Architecture for Embedded Systems (CAES)

    Investigating challenges and opportunities at the intersection of computer science and electrical engineering is the focus of the research group Computer Architecture for Embedded Systems. How can you efficiently integrate systems by taking into consideration power consumption, performance, reliability, and security? By tapping into the hardware and software domains, the research group develops novel architectures, automation tools, algorithms, methodologies, and models.

  • Design and Analysis of Communication Systems (DACS)

    The research within the Design and Analysis of Communication Systems group is to contribute to the development of trusted and resilient internet. The core focus is on controlling the connected mobile and wireless communication infrastructures on the internet. A first step is measuring and analysing the traffic on the internet in order to detect anomalies and attacks. Next, they investigate how to influence traffic routing on the internet and mitigate attacks by filtering traffic. Finally, they design future network systems.

  • Formal Methods and Tools (FMT)

    The research within the Formal Methods and Tools group is centred around developing mathematical methods and high-performing data structures and algorithms to design reliable software and data-driven control systems. The main focus areas are quantitative modelling and analysis of cyber-physical and socio-technical systems, programme design and verification for (concurrent) software, and high-performance algorithms and data structures for model checking and model transformation.

  • Pervasive Systems (PS)

    Pervasive Systems are composed of a network of collaborative sensing, computational, and reasoning components that actively and unobtrusively interact with the environment. The research has an important societal and economic impact on environmental monitoring, ecology, ambient assisted living, agriculture, transport and mobility, smart industry, supply chain management, health, sports, asset management, predictive maintenance, and smart cities.

  • Radio Systems (RS)

    It is hard to think of an area in today’s modern life that doesn't depend on radio systems. The rapid development of wireless communication has revolutionised the way we live and think of the world. The main focus of the research within the Radio Systems group is on wireless technology development both in academia and industry.
