Final Theses

Topics

Are you looking for an exciting topic for your final thesis (Bachelor or Master)? Then the Department of Computer Engineering is the right place for you!

We regularly offer a range of thesis topics that address current and relevant issues from our research areas. These topics are carefully prepared and offer you a clear framework.

In addition, we know that many students have their own ideas and interests. We are therefore also happy to develop individual topic proposals together with you. Bring in your own ideas and research interests - we will be happy to discuss with you how we can turn them into a suitable and exciting topic. This allows you to tailor your thesis to your personal strengths and goals.

Possible topics for theses can come from the following areas, among others.

  • Approximate computing
  • Efficient implementation of accelerators, e.g. for neural networks
  • Modern processor architectures, e.g. RISCV
  • Use of modern hardware description languages (Chisel, Clash)
  • The use of formal methods for verification or synthesis

You are also welcome to be inspired by previously supervised theses (see below).
