  • verification for AI systems

The results of the project are expected to apply to multiple use cases, e.g., automotive systems, satellite, smart grids, smart factories, etc., in collaboration with partners of the group. Depending on your profile, the project can focus more on theory, development and/or applications. However, all three aspects are expected to be covered during the project.
