I am currently supervising Bachelor and Master Theses in the area of stochastics at the University of Innsbruck. A (not updated) list with possible topics can be found here Topics for master theses. If you have any other suggestions, I would be happy to accomodate you, if this fits in my area of expertise. Just come for a chat (virtual one) and we can find something suitable, depending on your mathematical interests.
If you have good programming skills, there are several topics available that involve simulations
(Python, R, or whatever you want) of random processes.
I will list here some possible topics that are suitable for a master thesis, or some topics I would like to learn more about them, but didn't have time to do it.
- Quantum random walks (together with Tim Netzer)
- Epidemic models
- The Ising model
- Activated random walks
In progress (2022+)
- Nadine Durnwalder
Thesis: SIR epidemic models. - Mattea Pötzi
Thesis: Stochastic games--the game of Hex, Hunter and Rabbit. - Elias Walder
Thesis: Coupon collector's problem.
- Georg Fischer
Thesis: Markov chains and mixing times for card shuffling. (2021) - Morris-Luca Kühmeier
Thesis: Branching processes. (2021) - Joshua Haag
Thesis: Simple random walks on integer lattices. (2020)
General information and requirements: The courses Stochastics 1 and Stochastics 2 are needed (=passed) for the topics that involve stochastic processes. The thesis can be written in English or German. A list with available/potential topics can be found here Topics for bachelor thesis.
