Curriculum Vitae

Michael Eichelbeck joined the Cyber-Physical Systems Group as a PhD candidate under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Althoff in October 2021. Previously, he studied control systems at Imperial College London and received his Master’s degree with a thesis on non-cooperative decentralized optimization.

His current research revolves around safe control for power systems by merging reinforcement learning with formal validation. He is a member of the DFG-funded project “Safe-Guarding Artificial Intelligence in Power Systems (SAFARI)“.

Offered Thesis Topics

I am always looking for self-motivated students who are interested in writing a thesis related to my area of research. If you are considering one of the currently offered topics or want to discuss your own research idea, please get in touch via email including your CV, transcript of records, and a brief statement of your motivation.
