Bachelor's and Master's theses

I supervise theses (Bachelor's and Master's) in the following areas/topics with context persuasion (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.
