Curriculum Vitae

Thomas Rudolf studied electrical engineering and information technology at the Karlsruhe Institut of Technology (KIT) and Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. During his studies in the specialized fields of information and automation he focused on control engineering, signal processing and system optimization. He concluded his studies with his master thesis about the design of a robust position control and a differential flatness-based velocity control for a four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering electrical vehicle („Entwurf einer robusten Positionsregelung mit kaskadierter flachheitsbasierter Geschwindigkeitsregelung eines radselektiv angetriebenen Elektrofahrzeugs“) at the Institute for Control Systems (IRS).

Since January 2018, he has been employed as a research scientist at the FZI Research Center for Information Technology in the division of Embedded Systems and Sensors Engineering (ESS).
