Theses for bachelor and master students

We offer projects and theses for bachelor and master students currently enrolled at TU Darmstadt. Below are non-exhaustive lists of open, ongoing, and past projects and theses. If you are interested in doing a project or thesis with our group, you are welcome to contact us at . Note that we receive more requests than we are able to supervise. To maximize your chances, please provide relevant background information as part of your request including:

  • most importantly, a list of networked embedded systems topics you are most interested in;
  • a transcript of your grades, study status (semester, bachelor or master), and courses attended;
  • a brief description of any past projects and/or industry experience you may have;
  • any particular skill (e.g., PCB design) or programming experience (e.g., MCU or FPGA);
  • your expected or preferred starting date for the thesis;
  • a short explanation as to why you are interested in doing a project in our group, in particular.

If you are particularly excited about a specific topic, or even have your own research idea to propose, then please tell us about it as well. This background information will allow us to ensure a good alignment of your interests and skills with the goals of a particular topic, which goes a long way to make projects and theses a successful and enjoyable experience for everyone.
