Bachelor's and Master's theses

I supervise theoretical, computational and applied theses in probability theory and statistics. Topics are usually related to random objects in Euclidean space. For a Master’s thesis students are required to have attended at least two parts of my lecture cycle Spatial Stochastics. This can be partly replaced by self-study from the lecture notes or by giving a good talk in a relevant seminar or oberseminar.

Below is a list of theses I have supervised. The names of the students have been omitted due to <add you favorite adjective here> European data protection laws. If you are the author of one of the theses below, I’m more than happy to add your name to your work (and possibly a link) if you give me explicit permission to do so.
