Thesis / Project Topics 2026

Due to my retirement next year I will not supervise theses any longer. Please contact my colleagues for a topic instead.

This page lists my topics offered for CS Bachelor and DE Master Theses. Below is an overview list, strikethrough means the topic is taken.

All work follows the procedures, so you may want to study these first. Programming prerequisites should be taken serious - in all cases non-trivial implementation in one of several languages is involved. Code will regularly add functionality to our rasdaman system and, as such, be used by our project partners and the general scientific and technical community; hence code quality (including, e.g., concise tests and documentation) is an integral evaluation criterion. Generally, I appreciate not only the result, but also the way towards it - therefore, showing continuous progress, initiative, and planful work for sure is an asset. Knowledge characterized as "advantageous" means that it is not mandatory, but not bringing it along will increase workload significantly, and make deadlines tight. We reserve to not give a topic to a student if there is too much risk that a good result will not be achieved, for the student's sake.

For the topics where you need deeper knowledge of the rasdaman datacube engine, there is some initial information about open-source rasdaman community with documentation as well as an intro to geo datacube standards, in particular to WCPS.

Make use of the official thesis template available here. Best phrase your thesis like a scientific publication; if your report is of sufficient quality to be submitted successfully to a conference or journal for publication this will be considered a strong plus.

Note that:

• only the topics below will be accepted for supervision, due to resource constraints.
• thesis topics must be agreed before the end of the drop/add period.
• AI for investigation is ok, AI for writing your thesis not - if AI-generated text is found, the AI will get a grade and you will not.
