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 in a number of active areas of research:
- Safe and interpretable artificial intelligence
- Machine learning for programming
- Blockchain security
- Programmable networks
- Quantum programming
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.
