Munich Aerospace awards 16 PhD scholarships

17 February 2021 – Munich Aerospace awards doctoral scholarships in the field of aerospace research to support young scientists. The scholarships are aimed at qualified university graduates who have completed their studies in a field relevant to aerospace and are now aspiring for a doctorate at the Technical University of Munich or the Bundeswehr University Munich.

Further information on the PhD topics can be found in the PDF files below:

• Hybrid lightweight structures by using of additive manufacturing (Leitung: Prof. Eric Jägle)
• Machine-Learning Based Dynamic Radio Resource Allocation for Future Satellite Systems (Lead: Prof. Andreas Knopp) (PDF)
• Coding for Uncoordinated Multiple Access. The activity aims at the design of code-based access protocols for satellite loT systems, targeting an energy efficiency close to the theoretical bounds (Lead: Prof. Gerhard Kramer) (PDF)
• Intelligent Fault Detection and Fault-tolerant Control (Lead: Dr. Gertjan Looye) (PDF)
