Do you want to conduct research at the intersection of theory and practice and build state-of-the-art systems? Our lab offers interesting Master thesis projects across a number of active research areas we are currently exploring. Each direction contains a number of sub-topics and we maintain an active list of potential theses (which changes frequently, as to reflect the latest state-of-the-art developments). Many master theses done in the lab have been been published at top conferences.
We encourage students towards real-world impact. A number of systems built in our lab, some as M.Sc. thesis, are released as open-source projects which are widely used in industry and academia. See our GitHub page for details.
