Student Theses

NB: Ph.D. dissertations can be found in my Research Group section. This section only lists MSc and BSc theses for which I was the primary supervisor and assessor, and which were completed successfully (NB: external student projects are listed at the bottom of this section for completeness). An overview of LIACS theses which I supervised, are also listed in the LIACS thesis repository. UU theses are listed in the UU thesis repository. If you are looking for a thesis topic, have a look at our Open Thesis Topics page.
