Master-Theses, Bachelor-Theses, Lab Courses, Projects

Which topics are offered?

All project and thesis topics focus on particle fluid simulation and stochastic raytracing.

What about a lab course?

There are two options for the lab course: 1. Implementation of a simple fluid solver. 2. Implementation of a simple raytracer. The general idea of both variants is to prepare a basis for a subsequent Master project and potentially also for a Master thesis. E.g., you start with a simple fluid solver in the lab course. Then, additional components or features are added in the following Master project or existing components are improved and analyzed. With such an experience, you are prepared for a sophisticated and challenging Master thesis, the results of which contribute to the cutting-edge research of our group.

Projects and theses should be aligned with the semester. It is highly recommended that projects start at the beginning of a semester.

How to prepare for a lab course?

Corresponding to the project topics, our courses focus on rendering and simulation. 1. If you are interested in rendering, we recommend to attend our key course in the first semester. For the second semester, we recommend the rendering course "Advanced Computer Graphics". To stay in time with your study, it would make sense to start the lab course on rendering also in the second semester, parallel to the rendering course. This is not optimal, but allows to perform the Master project and Master thesis in the third and fourth semester, respectively. 2. The same idea holds for the simulation track. If you are interested in simulation, you can attend the key course in the first semester, but more importantly, you should attend the course "Simulation in Computer Graphics" in the second semester. The Lab course could be done in parallel in the second semester, and the Master Project and Master thesis in the following two semesters.

The examplary study plan of the department says ...

The sample study plans do not cover all options. Instead, they focus on very few options. It is important to understand that you, e.g., have to attend a certain number of key and specialization courses, but not in a specific semester. On the other hand, there are implicit constraints derived from common sense. E.g., attending a project or seminar makes more sense, if you have acquired some basics in the field by attending the respective key course or a specialization course. Doing a project in our group without attending at least the key course in advance, is theoretically possible, but far from optimal.

I do not know anything about rendering and simulation, but would like to attend a seminar or a project.

Our seminars and projects do not provide an introduction to rendering or simulation. Instead, they base on expertise from the key course.

How to get in touch?

If you are interested in a thesis project in Computer Graphics, please contact any group member. It can also be useful to talk to any of the students below who have already attended projects and performed theses in our group.
