Master theses

---

I am currently supervising Bachelor and Master Theses in the area of stochastics at the University of Innsbruck. A list with possible topics can be found here Topics for master theses. If you have any other suggestions, I would be happy to acomodate 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 (not like mine), there are several topics available that involve simulations (Python, R, or whatever you want) of random processes.

Some possible topics

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
• Epidemic models
• The Ising model

Completed/in progress

• Robin Marc Kaiser (in progress, 2021)
  Thesis: Sandpile models.
• Barbara Laura Präg (in progress, 2021)
  Thesis: Random graphs with applications to social networks.

Bachelor Theses
