Master Thesis Offers

Many research groups and institutions which are affiliated with HGS MathComp are offering topics for master theses. The following examples are just a few of over 40 topics available through direct contact with workgroups at IWR and other research centers across campus.

Students chose their master thesis supervisors at the end of the 2nd term. The thesis topics are highly individual and will be adapted at the education, knowledge and background of the respective candidate. 

Please use the following list as an introduction to some of the many interdisciplinary topics that are part of this master's program - from geo-informatics to bio-mathematics and from environmental modelling to high performance computing.
