Bachelor and Master theses
Are you looking for an exciting topic for your Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis? Join JETS and dive into the fascinating world of quantum mechanics and high-performance computing to address real-world problems.
We offer projects in theoretical condensed matter physics and computational materials science. You will learn to use cutting-edge computational tools to model and predict the properties of novel materials, from low-dimensional systems to those with applications in sustainable energy and quantum technologies. You will gain hands-on experience with programing, high-performance computing, and popular methods like density-functional theory. All our thesis projects are tightly connected to our research activities and will likely lead to scientific publications.
Our team provides a supportive environment where you will work closely with experienced researchers. We will guide you through your project, from literature review to data analysis, helping you to build a strong foundation for your future career in research or industry.
Example Thesis Topics
- DFT Modeling of Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide (TMD) Nanostructures: Investigate how the intrinsic properties of TMDs are affected by quantum-confinement and molecular functionalization.
- Computational Design of Photocatalysts: Use automatize first-principles calculations to identify and characterize new porous materials for solar fuel production.
- Nonlinear Optical Response Hybrid Heterostructures: Disclose how structural properties and molecular symmetry can be tailored to tune the nonlinear response of organic/inorganic heterostructures.
If you are interested in a thesis project with our group, please feel free to contact us. We are always happy to discuss potential projects that match your interests.
