Looking for a master’s thesis with real-world impact?
Dig-IT Lab invites students to write their thesis together with researchers at KTH or one of the centre’s partners. You will help reduce the environmental impact of buildings through digitalisation while working on real industrial challenges.
Topics span sustainability assessment, machine learning, digital twins and sensors, optimisation and control, data and ethics, digital innovation and real estate management, from benchmarking predictive control methods to exploring how much data a building digital twin really needs.
