Supervision of student research projects and final theses

Info on how to conduct a thesis in my field of lecture: click here
  • Carrying out studies at my research and teaching site

    Students have the possibility to write their papers and theses with me. The topics are not only limited to my relevant lectures and can also generally be in the field of my current research about sustainable regulation, marketing instruments, bio-based materials and building physics. Each semester, I offer a selection of topics, but students can also submit their individual proposals to me for their project or final thesis. In addition to grading, I usually write an expert opinion, which the students can use later when applying for a job.
