Project Supervision

Supervision of Bachelor and Master Theses

Are you looking for an opportunity to work on a Bachelor or Master thesis or a seminar thesis (for an AIDAHO application module) in the field of artificial intelligence, econometrics, finance or data science under my supervision?

If your project is a final thesis (Master or Bachelor thesis) please take a look at the rules about examining persons, working times, and other stipulations by the University of Hohenheim.. Supervision of projects concerning a final theses may be conducted in cooperation with professors, such as Thomas Dimpfl or Robert Jung. You may also engage in applied research projects as part of an AIDAHO cooperation module, which integrates academic knowledge with industry-focused challenges.

Thesis projects offer a chance to explore topics that align with your academic interests while benefiting from structured guidance and feedback throughout the process. Whether you’re diving into econometric modeling, AI-related topics, or interdisciplinary studies, this is an opportunity to enhance your skills and produce meaningful research.

If you are interested, please write me an email or talk to me.

Here is a short overview what to expect during my supervision in such a project.

What I expect from students

• Independent work: Students should show self-motivation and autonomy in their projects.
• Regular updates: Students are expected to present their progress at regular intervals.
• Integration of feedback: Incorporate corrections and suggestions provided during reviews.
• Time management: Plan your tasks effectively and adapt to any schedule changes.
• Completion of tasks: Assigned work packages should be diligently completed.

What I do not expect

• Working without guidance: You are not expected to work without any support.
• Comprehensive prior knowledge: No extensive subject-specific expertise is required beforehand.

What I offer

• Realistic tasks: Meaningful project assignments with manageable workloads.
• Regular discussions: Scheduled meetings to discuss progress and challenges.
• Guidance: Advice on questions or problems brought to me.
• Text review: Review of texts or sections, providing actionable feedback for refinement.
• Methodological support: Assistance in choosing and applying suitable methods.

What I do not offer

• Proofreading: Detailed spelling or grammar corrections.
• Ready-made solutions: Fully developed answers to problems.
• Deadline management: Tracking your deadlines or maintaining a calendar for you.

Exemplary Project Timeline

Below is an example of a Bachelor thesis project timeline, which can also be adapted for Master theses by extending the overall timeframe.

While every project is unique, it is essential to begin with a proposal phase — often through a brief meeting or Zoom call — where you present your initial ideas. Together, we will determine a realistic path forward, including how to collect and process the necessary data, refine the methodology, and finalize the research question. By the end of this initial discussion, we should all have a clear understanding of the project’s scope and direction. If that clarity is missing, it may be best to reconsider or discontinue the project early to prevent future complications.

Please note that the timeline below is only an example. Feel free to adjust the dates, durations, and milestones based on your specific project needs.
