Open and running student projects

Topics change (frequently) with my ongoing work and depend mostly on the interests and experience of the student. It is best to contact me directly if you are interested in a thesis or student project.

See also the list of Student Projects at our chair.

Do you want to know what other students are working on in our chair? You are warmly encouraged to attend their presentations at the SCCS Colloquium! Come to get ideas, meet your potential supervisor, or to learn from the style of others for your own presentation.

Open student projects

• Comparative analysis of existing numerical linear algebra frameworks on modern architectures
• Exploration of mixed-precision acceleration capabilities in memory-bound operations
• Exploration of influence of boundary conditions in linear solver convergence
• Refactoring and modularization of machine learning pipeline into a Scikit-Learn-API-compatible Python library
• Hyperparameter tuning in solver selection pipeline
• Novel machine learning techniques applied to solver selection
