We are always searching for good students and have many good opportunities. However, we are also open to suggestions by students as long as they touch the topics relevant to intelligent systems. > Click here for Offered Topics / Angebotene Themen < Note that these Theses are only for TU Darmstadt students who can directly contact Team Members for more information. For exceptional external students, we offer Theses as well, these need to contact Jan Peters by
jan.peters@tu-darmstadt.de first. Here is the list of currently ongoing theses:
