Projects
We try to offer always multi-student projects in order to teach also team work. Most of the time our projects are offered within the lecture "Signals and Systems". For information on previous projects please have a look on this section of our website.
Theses
If you want to do your bachelor or master thesis with us, please have a look on the corresponding section on our website or come over to the office of Prof. Schmidt and talk with him about possible topics that might fit to your personal needs.
In March 2026, the DSS Chair attended the annual DAGA conference in Dresden. Thanks to the support of the GaS-Club, the student Aylin Kösker was given the opportunity to accompany the chair and participate in the conference from March 23rd to March 26th. As part of the daily poster sessions, she presented the results of her bachelor’s thesis “Machine Learning for the Analysis of Hydrographic Data to Assess the Waterside Accessibility of Port Waters” in the field of Underwater Acoustics. The thesis forms an important basis for an ongoing university research project on the acoustic analysis of sediment properties in harbor areas. The poster session enabled valuable discussions with researchers and conference participants from related research fields.
