Modeling, Simulation & Constrained MPC for a Sail-Assisted Ship

We are seeking an excellent Master’s or final-year engineering student for a challenging internship at the intersection of advanced control, simulation, and sustainable maritime transport.

The project focuses on the modeling and constrained MPC control of a sail-assisted ship, with applications to wind-assisted propulsion systems developed in an industrial context. The work combines control-oriented modeling, system identification, constrained control design, and large-scale simulation studies.
