Over the last weekends I took my @ETH_en & @nccr_automation students for some winter climbing trips. There’s no better group bonding than suffering, freezing, & experiencing “type II” fun together. Climbing a shady North face & emerging on a sunny summit is like doing a PhD …

Weekly group meeting with our guest prof @behcetacikmese giving a kick-ass lecture on optimal trajectory generation for space “vehicles”. @behcetacikmese is one of the few earthlings who has literally made a (two actually) solid dent(s) on Mars!

Went onto a small alpine traverse today (Bedretto -> Lucendro -> Andermatt) & visited our newest high Alpine Swiss wind park next to the Lucendro reservoir. #Swisssustainability on the rise!

Huge congrats to @bsaver_io and his team for winning this year's Golden Owl teaching award () with the new @ETH_en Computational Course! I wish I had taken such a course as a student.

@ control scientists: for my upcoming bachelor lecture (14 weeks focused on closed-loop design: PID, loop shaping, IMC, LQR, Kalman filter, ...), I wanted to link to a few online resources (easily digestible videos) complementing the lecture. What are your favorites?

Jeremy Coulson defended his PhD on **DeePC** today. It started with plenty of Math and culminated into plenty of 90s Eurodance music ;)
