Before the Thesis
Approach us!
The group of Prof. Günther regularly offers Bachelor and Master theses in visualization and computer graphics. For an overview of available topics contact tobias.guenther@fau.de, including the following information:
- Briefly mention which areas of computer graphics you are interested in.
- Give a short overview of the graphics-related courses you have attended in the past.
We then get back to you shortly to schedule a meeting and go over the available topics together.
Ask all professors!
Choosing the right topic is difficult, even when you already know that you want to work on visualization and/or computer graphics. To get a comprehensive overview of all available topics, it is strongly recommended that you get in touch with all professors, working in the realm of Visual Computing, including:
