For students
Every year we supervise a number of undergraduate and master theses on topics connected to the group's research work. Here you can find a selection of supervised theses from past years.
Topics usually center around our research activities (find out more here) data analysis of experimental measurements, either performed in our torsion pendulum facility or during the LISA Pathfinder operations.
Contact these professors to supervise either a bachelor's or a master's thesis:
