Michael Biehl: supervision of student projects
(Open Projects, MSC, internships, BSc)




Open projects back
A list of ideas and open projects for thesis or research internship projects in the Intelligent Systems group
(exclusively for CS students already registered with the University of Groningen!)
can be found in this document

Please visit the corresponding Brightspace pages for BSc, internships, and MSc project for further information on the formal requirements and organization.

Students from other programs (e.g. AI): be aware that specific rules may apply and that you will have to
find a first supervisor within your program.
