I have three places available for the summer semester 2025. Interested students can submit a supervision request to me by January 31. The request should contain one or more ideas for a thesis topic, the motivation for it and what previous experience you bring to the topic. The topic should fit in with my main areas of research.

After the deadline, I will review the requests and inform the interested students whether I can provide supervision.

How to's on the matter of the final thesis can be found here.
