“In my very first physics class the teacher asked us: ‘Why is it still light outside when the sun has set?’ I found that a fascinating question, and since then I’ve been sure that I wanted to do a technological and innovative study program. I took my Bachelor’s in Intelligent Systems Control in Romania, and this Master’s program is a perfect way to proceed it. Why in the Netherlands, and why at TU/e? Quite simply, because the scientists here in my own field are highly respected in other countries. And I can also benefit here from the links with industry. With companies like ASML, Océ and Philips, there are plenty of opportunities for engineers in this region alone. And just as important, it’s a great place to live; the people are nice to you and speak good English.”

“Looking back on my experience with Systems & Control, for me three aspects have made it the perfect MSc program. First, the theoretical basis to model, analyze and control systems in combination with the ability to work on a wide variety of real life problems. Second, working with highly motivated students, teachers and professors from various backgrounds, i.e. multidisciplinary and multicultural. And last, DCSC is an internationally acclaimed institute, which gave me the opportunity to conduct my graduation research at and in collaboration with UC Berkeley (USA). I worked on a relevant problem in Systems Biology with biologists, applying my S&C skills in a multidisciplinary and international setting.”
