If you are interested in a Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis project in our lab, please write an email to andreas.kist@fau.de including your CV and transcripts of records (this allows us to judge your prior knowledge and expertise). 5 and 10 ECTS projects are typically structured in the Biomedical Image Analysis Project [BIMAP] project seminar, we rarely provide individual projects.
Prerequisites: We recommend a strong background in Python programming, Pattern Recognition, Deep Learning (at least familiar with either TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Jax/Flax), and signal/image processing. All MSc projects are designed such that they are research-oriented and may yield a scientific publication, i.e. demanding, but fun working at the cutting edge of research. BSc projects will also be close to research and will work on a very specific subproblem, we do not offer any lightweight topics (a.k.a. re-implementation of a paper method or survey studies).
Here are the open projects in the lab that can be tackled (starting in general winter term 2024/2025 and later). We categorize all projects into Signal Processing (Signal), Computer Vision (CV), Deep Learning (DL), Neuroscience (Neuro), and tinyML. Typically, we give out topics ~ 4-6 months before the potential starting date, as we are planning our capacities in the long run.
