Master Thesis in Multi Agent System Reinforcement Learning

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft ( ) is one of the world's leading organizations for application-oriented research. 75 institutes develop pioneering technologies for our economy and society – more precisely: 32 000 people from technology, science, administration and IT. They know: Anyone who comes to Fraunhofer wants to and can make a difference. For themselves, for us and for the markets of today and tomorrow.

Safe Intelligence — this forms the core brand of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS . Connected cognitive systems drive innovation in many sectors, including mobility, healthcare, and automation in industry. Disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing play a key role here. Fraunhofer IKS is conducting research to ensure that these applications are reliable and verifiably safe. We consider resilience and intelligence to be part of the same process.

Be part of change

We invite motivated master’s students to contribute to our leading-edge research by writing their thesis under our supervision. This project builds upon our prior work in Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) for real-world use-case of aerial ad hoc networks (see our paper ) and aims to advance the solution by integrating state-of-the-art MARL methods, with a strong emphasis on scalability and reliability.

What you contribute

• Experience with Python ML stack, e.g. TensorFlow, Stable-Baselines3
• Strong background in Reinforcement Learning
• Familiarity with Multi Agent Systems and / or Game Theory
• Familiarity with working with Linux OS and git
• Enrollment in a German university, preferably in Munich or surrounding area
• Especially suitable for students of M.Sc. Computer science, M.Sc. Robotics, Cognition, Intelligence, M.Sc. Data Engineering etc.

What we offer

• Nice supervisors, a good atmosphere
• Flexible working style including a workplace at our new institute building in Garching
• Participation in a dynamic team with innovative task areas
• Practical approach to your studies.

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications – regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability. Our tasks are diverse and adaptable – for applicants with disabilities, we work together to find solutions that best promote their abilities.

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
