Bachelor's and Master's theses

I supervise theses (Bachelor's and Master's) in the following areas/topics with context argumentation (not exclusively):

  • Reinforcement Learning (RL)
  • Neural Networks (NN, CNN, GAN)
  • Explainable AI (XAI)

If you are interested, please send me an e-mail with one of the above mentioned keywords, then we can make an appointment for further discussion. Or just visit me in my office. An overview of open topics can be found here:  Just dare to click ;)
