Automatic Control  

Test and trace

Test and trace offers a promising path to halt the spread of an infectious disease in its tracks. But how accurate does the testing need to be? And how fast must cases be traced?

LTH best Master's thesis

Johanna Wilroth has been awarded the prize "LTHs Jubileumsstipendium 2020" for the best master thesis at LTH. In her thesis "Domain Adaptation for Attention Steering," Wilroth studied novel algorithms for improving the performance of hearing aids using EEG signals in combination with auditory input. The master thesis was done at the Department of Automatic Control, with Carolina Bergeling as main supervisor, in collaboration with the research center Eriksholm/Oticon in Denmark. The collaboration also involved the departments of Psychology and Mathematical Statistics at Lund University.

Master Thesis dispels a common argument against wind power

A common notion is that only nuclear power and hydro power can keep the Swedish power grid stable at 50 Hz. Something that is necessary for the system to function normally, and prevent blackouts. A new Master Thesis by Johan Lindberg, at the Department of Automatic Control, shows that also wind power can manage this task.

Paper Award

We congratulate Marcus Greiff (to the right in the photo) and co-authors Anders Robertsson (left) and Karl Berntorp (middle) who was awarded the 2020 IEEE CCTA Best Student Paper Award for the paper "MSE-Optimal Measurement Dimension Reduction in Gaussian Filtering”.

Outstanding master's thesis

Frida Heskebeck is a recently employed PhD student at the Department of Automatic Control. She has been awarded a scholarship from the Karl-Erik Sahlberg Foundation for an outstanding master's thesis project in chemistry. The motivation: "Antibodies are target-searching drugs used for the treatment of severe diseases. The use of antibody-based drugs is, among other things, limited by expensive production methods. In her master's thesis, Frida gives an excellent description of how advanced process methods can contribute to improved antibody production. The presentation of results and suggestions of 'Future Work' is done excellently in the thesis."

Lund Formula Student

The department has a collaboration with the Lund Formula Student team, who are developing a fully autonomous race car to compete in Formula Student events all across Europe.

Artificial intelligence

Within the field of adaptive control, Automatic Control were doing AI research already in the 70s

The future of drones

Automatic Control is part of a university-wide collaboration project on unmanned aerial vehicles

Seminarium

From: 2021-03-01 12:00 to 13:15
Place:  Online
Contact: Jonas [dot] Wisbrant [at] cs [dot] lth [dot] se
Save event to your calendar

AI Lund Drop-in is an opportunity for anyone at Lund University or elsewhere who is working with or wants to get started with AI to meet like-minded people and experts in order to discuss practical problems or new project ideas, e.g. in connection with: 

  • student projects or theses 
  • research projects 
  • hobby or innovation projects 
  • digitization of IT systems 

1 March 12.00 - 13.15

Theme: AI In Swedish Schools

Title in Swedish: AI, skola och barn - teknologi, kunskap och konsekvenser

Host: Eva Westin

Spoken Language: Swedish

Access

The link to the Zoom meeting will be announced at the day of the event at: http://ai.lu.se/drop-in/

Or, register here to be sure to get an invitation: http://ai.lu.se/drop-in/reg/

* Every other Monday (odd weeks) at 10-12, one or more AI researchers will be at the Zoom platform, to answer questions or lead discussions. But we expect that there will also be people who just want to hang with others interested in the topic. Different weeks will focus on different topics, such as image analysis, politics, robotics, ethics, or clinical AI. Try to choose the meeting that you think is best suited for your challenges.
