Bachelor and Master Theses

We offer topics for bachelor and master thesis projects in all areas of our research field and in related areas for eager students enrolled in - but not limited to - computer science (CS), computational engineering science (CES), simulation science (SiSc) and media informatics (MI).

Currently, the research of our group covers the following topics: simulation of rigid bodies and deformable solids, fluid simulation, position-based dynamics, collision resolution, energy-based simulations and process simulations. You may want to take a look at previous theses and the current publications to get an additional overview over possible thesis topics. Each one is usually specified in cooperation with one of our research assistants and/or Prof. Bender considering the student's individual interests and their previous knowledge as well as the current research topics of the Computer Animation group. In order to guarantee a successful completion of the thesis, we usually expect our student to have

Good knowledge and practical experience in C/C++ and object-oriented programming
Basic knowledge of numerics, algorithms and data-structures
Enrollment in at least one of our courses

If you are interested in a research topic, please contact Prof. Dr. Jan Bender via mail together with an excerpt of your current grades.
