Student Projects / Theses
We are constantly offering graphics-related topics for Bachelor and Master theses as well as student research projects. To get a first idea on the range of different topics please see the list of finished projects below, or visit our research pages or publication page.
Interested students are welcome to contact Prof. Botsch for finding a cool topic and setting up a project. You should have successfully taken lectures on computer graphics or geometry processing, and you should have a solid knowledge in C++ programming (for instance through our programming assignments).
