Curriculum Vitae

Lukas Schäfer joined the Cyber-Physical Systems Group as a PhD candidate under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Althoff in 2021. He received his M.Sc. in robotics, cognition, intelligence and B.Sc. in mechanical engineering both from the Technical University of Munich and his B.Eng. in Business Administration and Engineering from the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University Stuttgart. His research focuses on robust safety-preserving controller synthesis of nonlinear systems.
