Projects

A project list with suggested topics will be posted in the middle of the term. Projects relating to your research area are encouraged. There are nominally three types of projects:

Literature overview on a topic not covered in class or more in depth coverage of a lecture topic.
Application of reach control to a research area of your interest such as power systems, transportation, multivehicle systems, etc.
Investigation of a new research area in reach control.
