Topics for Bachelor and Master Theses

I supervise Bachelor’s and Master’s theses related to the Pierre Auger Observatory, NA61/SHINE, Galactic magnetism, and future astroparticle projects. A list of IAP Auger group thesis topics can be found here. The examples below illustrate the range of possible projects.

Master Theses
