Student Research Projects
There are many opportunities for research projects within the Data Science group. Some of the topics listed below (especially internships at companies) are only suitable as an MSc project. For most topics however, both a bachelor and master thesis project can be defined, as well as research internships within the department. Bachelor thesis projects are written within the context of the corresponding course. General info about the process of doing your master thesis, including the administrative procedure, is available at the Master Thesis Lab webpages.
The following student projects are currently available. To contact the staff member associated to the project, please check out our Staff page.
