The department always has a number of suggestions for degree projects (see below for examples). We can also often help to establish contacts with companies that are interested in degree projects, both in Sweden and abroad. The topics can include systems theory, modeling and simulation, machine learning, real-time systems, process control, automotive systems, robotics, and a large range of other application areas for control and dynamical systems in general.

If you are interested in doing your degree project with us please contact our thesis coordinator, Bo Bernhardsson (bo.bernhardsson@control.lth.se), or discuss directly with any of the teachers at the department.

Industrial Projects 

Below is a selection of companies and some control-related degree projects

We are currently collecting thesis proposals for spring 2025.  Please contact our thesis coordinator Bo Bernhardsson (bo.bernhardsson@control.lth.se) if you would like to add your company and your master's thesis project proposal(s) to this list.
You may also find recent advertisments at, e.g., MyCareer and other job portals. 

• Ericsson - Optimized HW implementation of linear transformations
• Ericsson - List of MSc Thesis proposals - Lund  (some of these can belong at other departments)

Academic - Industrial Collaborative Projects

The following is a list of suggested academic projects in collaboration with other departments at LTH and/or industry:

• Three master thesis projects in Learning-based control for cancer treatment
• Multimodal machine learning for anomaly detection in cloud operations (Ericsson/Control) – contact Johan Eker for more information
• ESS
• Thermal modelling of a cement calorimeter II

Projects in the Robotics Lab (at Computer Science and/or Control)

• RobotLab
• Center for Construction Robotics
• Data-driven MPC, trajectory scaling, human–robot collaboration, and interaction control

The department has good international contacts and can help to arrange thesis projects in other countries. Some recent examples are California Institute of Technology, University of California at Berkeley, Imperial College, University of Newcastle, University of Melbourne, Laboratoire d'automatique de Grenoble, University of Coimbra, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology EPFL.
