DCS Summer Internship Program

The Division of Decision and Control Systems (DSC) carries out a summer internship program every year with great undergraduate students from KTH and abroad. The goal of this program is to employ some of the best students to do interesting research, under the supervision of several of the postdoctoral scholars from the DCS Division. This program is sponsored by Professors Henrik Sandberg and Karl Henrik Johansson.

This summer in the Division of Decision and Control Systems (DSC) we had the pleasure of hosting several interns who carried out some very interesting research, sponsored by Professors Henrik Sandberg and Karl Henrik Johansson. 

  • Damir Vrabac, under the supervision of Philip E. Paré, worked on the project titled "Building a Disease Spread Dataset with Network Structure." His work helped contribute to a paper that was submitted to the 2019 American Control Conference titled "Discrete Time Multi-Virus Model: Analysis, Identification, and Validation."
  • Lovisa Juhlin, under the supervision of Michelle Chong, worked on a project titled "Two-Vehicle Platooning with LEGO Robots."
  • Adam Miksits, under the supervision of Michelle Chong, worked on a project titled "Stabilizing an Inverted Pendulum on a Moving Vehicle." Lovisa and Adam's projects contributed to the SSF-CLAS Project on cybersecurity, learning, and control.
  • Parnian Shahkar, under the supervision of Matin Jafarian, worked on a project titled "Numerical Analysis of a Large Scale Network of Spiking Neurons" within the Engineering the Interconnected Society project. Her work contributes further developments of the results in "Synchronization of hybrid quadratic integrate-and-fire spiking neurons: Constant versus voltage-dependent coupling" M. Jafarian, K.H. Johansson, IEEE CDC 2019.

At the end of the summer the interns presented their work in the Henry Nyquist Conference Room. A large group of students, postdocs, and professors attended the presentations, which were very well carried out. After the presentations and some compelling discussion, the interns, mentors, and professors went to enjoy a celebratory lunch. Overall the 2019 DSC Summer Internship Program was very successful.
