Theses and Projects
Diplom-, Semester- und Bachelorarbeiten
We provide students of all faculties with opportunities to write "Bacherlorarbeiten", "Masterarbeiten" (i.e., theses) or "Masterprojekte" in the broad context of dynamic and distributed information systems. Students in informatics, economics, electrical engineering, or other related fields from the University and ETH are very welcome to participate in our multidisciplinary research group.
This part of the web site is organized as follows. First, it contains a list of currently open and actively sought thesis topics. Second, we provide some general information about writing theses. Last but not least, it contains some general information about our typical topics in our reserach area.
