Theses

At the Institute of Scientific Computing you can write your bachelor, master or doctoral thesis. On the overview page of the institute you will find a selection of previous topics and contact persons as well as hints on how to find your own topic.

I also offer thesis supervision. My focus is on topics in scientific computing, in particular the implementation and application of algorithms in the context of the finite element method. Just contact me and together we will find a suitable topic that matches your interests and skills.

Please also have a look at my overview of research topics. Suggested topics for theses are also listed there.

Current topics

• Master thesis: Discretization of the Amplitude Phase-Field Crystal Equation
• Sum-factorization and higher-order hierarchical finite-elements
• Finite-element assembly on GPUs
• Space-time finite-element assembly on tensor-product meshes
