Job assignments

This research project aims to address documentation inconsistencies across textual artifacts, models, and potentially source code in complex engineering environments, where such inconsistencies can reduce efficiency and undermine trust. In collaboration with a large-scale industrial partner, the candidate will investigate existing challenges and design AI-/ agent-based systems to support the detection and resolution of these inconsistencies.

When working in a research project, you will work with helping and supporting senior researchers with practical elements of their research projects. This could for example include setting up empirical studies, collecting and maintaining data, data analysis tasks or programming tasks. You will have regular contact with the researcher about which elements and practical moments you can be of help within.
