Master and Bachelor Thesis Supervision (public landing page)

General procedure

After the supervisor has been found (see below), the student must write a proposal that includes the research question and its context/motivation, related work, preliminary methodological and/or experimental results, and formalities such as time constraints. After Prof. Müller approves the proposal, the student can register the thesis, and the writing period begins (typically three months for BA and six months for MA). This implies that a thesis often requires more time than the official writing period. It might be possible to hand in the thesis early (check with the respective examination regulations for the student’s degree program). However, we encourage significant time between registration and submission.

Though our group tries to supervise as many students as possible, we typically do not have the capacity to supervise every interested student.

Finding a supervisor

Interested students should provide a curriculum vitae/resume. Among other relevant aspects, this document should inform about the grades in relevant modules. Prior knowledge of machine learning is mandatory, e.g., as acquired through the courses offered by our group. Students should also describe their research interests/ideas, including suitable and proven skills, e.g., in Python programming, mathematics, or scientific writing. Optionally, it is possible to suggest own topics.

Our senior researchers can identify suitable internally advertised topics or suggest suitable supervisors within our group:

Alternatively, it is possible to contact junior researchers directly with specific ideas or inquiries:

  • Robustness against spurious correlations in DNNs, neural cellular automata: Lorenz Linhardt (l.linhardt@campus.tu-berlin.de)
