BSc/MSc Thesis Guidelines

The Systems Group offers various interesting BSc or MSc thesis projects in the context of active research projects and collaborations (see Research and Publications ). If you plan to do a thesis in our lab, please read the following information thoroughly. Below we explain the general procedure that we expect students to adhere to when pursuing a thesis in our group. Please also note that we might not be able to accommodate all thesis requests due to capacity constraints.

Requirements

In general, it is beneficial if you have successfully attended a course, seminar or project lab offered by our group. Most students typically also get involved in our group as a TA or research assistant before applying for a thesis project. In the following we list the requirements that we expect from interested thesis students:

• Very good programming experience with preferably C++ or another high-level language like Java or Python
• Solid background in database fundamentals (e.g., you have attended our lectures IM, SDMS, and/or ADMS)
• Self-motivated and able to work independently

Please note, that certain projects might have further specific prerequisites, e.g., experience with a certain technology or concept.

Getting in Contact

If your interests and expertise match with our lab’s research activities, send an email to systems-profs@cs.tu-… with the subject “Inquiry BSc thesis” or “Inquiry MSc thesis” and include the following information:

• Your programming experience and projects you worked on
• The research area or project you are interested in
• Any other information you think might strengthen your request

We will then review your information and schedule an appointment with you to discuss further details.

Thesis Proposal

Once we agree on a topic for your thesis and before you officially register for a thesis, we will ask you to write a short thesis proposal. The proposal helps you to get a clearer vision of your thesis project and helps us to assess your approach to scientific research and your scientific writing skills. The proposal should be about 3-4 pages long and should include the following information

• Context of your project and research
• Problem statement(s)
• Objectives and planned steps
• Related work
• Initial results (e.g., evaluations of existing baselines, identification of bottlenecks, etc.)

Your initial results are important for us in this context since most of our thesis project involve significant implementation and engineering efforts. Especially for the related work, it is important that you get a good overview early on in your thesis project; of course, your advisor will give you some starting points. Most of the time, the content of your proposal becomes an integral part of the introductory chapter of your thesis, so there is no time and effort wasted. The proposal needs to be submitted to your advisor on schedule as agreed with him. Your advisor will give you feedback about the proposal and coordinate the next steps. Occasionally, we also ask students to give a 10-15 minutes presentation of their thesis proposal in front of the members of our group in order to get further ideas, comments, suggestions, and pointers on their thesis.

Official Registration

In agreement with your advisor, after you have submitted a proposal of good quality, you plan for an official start date of the thesis. For this, please fill out the form suitable for your program of study and send it to your thesis advisor.

Thesis Research and Advising

In general, we expect an independent and self-motivated attitude from both Bachelor and Master students. For example, after submitting the registration form it is your responsibility to schedule the further steps with your advisor (please do not expect us to inquire about the thesis – if we have to ask about your progress, this is a good indication that you are falling behind schedule). In general we recommend setting up bi-weekly meetings with your advisor (and additional on-demand meetings if required). Since your thesis is ultimately your own work on the agreed upon topic, these meetings should serve to answer questions and discuss how to proceed based on your deliberations, findings, and input – don't expect to simply be told what to do next. Prior to meetings, it is thus important that you inform your advisor about the topics that you want to discuss, for example, a sample section of your thesis you have written and you want to discuss. This helps your advisor to prepare for an efficient meeting and it helps you to structure your questions. While Bachelor students can expect more guidance and input (e.g. on approaches and concepts) from their advisor, Master students are expected to independently drive their thesis research.

For writing your thesis you are required to use LaTeX as it is the scientific standard in computer science. We will provide you with a LaTeX template which you can improve if necessary (within reason). You are also encouraged to write your thesis in English. In the past, we had several students who did excellent work in their thesis that could subsequently be published at international conferences and workshops, where the language, of course, is English. In fact, we prefer a thesis written in English, as this is the language used in IT, Computer Science and most research.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your thesis meets the requirements of a scientific paper. Carefully review the information provided on the university's websites (e.g., in the online writing lab ).

Helpful guidelines for writing can be found at many places, we suggest to have a look at the following resources:

• Tips for Writing Technical Papers, Stanford InfoLab, Jennifer Wisdom
• Hints on grammar and style from DB group at University Heidelberg
• Some easy, purely syntactic hints on writing good research papers (from Prof. Felix Naumann)
• Dos and don'ts, Universität Heidelberg, Prof. Dr. Anette Frank (german) (opens in new tab)
• Leitfaden zur Abfassung wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Katarina Klein (german) (opens in new tab)
• Leitfaden zur Abfassung wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten, TU Dresden, Maria Lieber (german) (opens in new tab)
• Leitfaden zur Abfassung wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten, Hochschule Mannheim, Thomas Smits (german) (opens in new tab)

We encourage you to look at good BSc/MSc thesis from your fellow students. Also, we will be happy to point you to good theses done in our group in the past.

Thesis Template

We provide you with a LaTeX template for your thesis. You have to use this template for your thesis! .

• Thesis template [ .zip ][ github ]; see a sample PDF here.

Talk to your advisor if you want to use Overleaf for writing your thesis.

Thesis Presentation

Once you have submitted your thesis, together with your advisor, you schedule the presentation of your thesis. Sometimes it might also be beneficial to schedule your presentation before submitting your thesis in order to incorporate results from discussion and comments into your final write-up. Please reach out to your advisor to coordinate the date, time and location for your presentation in time. Note that the presentation is open to the public and will be announced within our group.

You have about 20 minutes time for the presentation, followed by 5 – 10 minutes of questions. Please keep in mind that the audience partially consists of people who are not very familiar with your research. Thus, make sure to clearly state the problem setting and objectives of your research. Please make sure that your presentation is adequate for a scientific talk (e.g., do not use fancy animations or overly distracting colour schemes, include slide numbers for a better discussion after the talk, etc.).

Please note that your presentation is an important part of your overall grade. Hence, make sure to rehearse and prepare your presentation well in advance. Feel free to send drafts of your presentation to your advisor and to ask for feedback on your presentation.

Communication Networks / Multimedia Communications Lab

Guidelines for Theses

Formal requirements for students for the execution of Bachelor Theses, Master Theses, Studienarbeiten at the Multimedia Communications Lab (KOM) under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ralf Steinmetz.

This information is meant as an overview of requirements, helpful tips, and notes for the application, registration, writing, submission, and presentation of theses at KOM. This is by no means complete nor legally binding. Always regard the current information provided by the University and your department.

Primarily, students from the departments (Fachbereiche) 1, 18, 20, and related study courses can write their thesis at KOM. The duration of a thesis depends on several factors like department, course of study, and part-time or full-time study.

Choice of Topic

Available topics can be found on poster displays at KOM or posted in Open Theses . Furthermore, students may propose their own topics within the field of research of the respective scientists . Topic-related questions can be discussed directly with the respective supervising scientist. In our lab, we provide theoretically and practically oriented theses. We also provide sufficient numbers of computers and workplaces in our student laboratories, enabling the completion of the implementation and writing entirely at KOM.

Expectation

Students are expected to independently acquire and portray the current scientifical and technological state-of-the-art (related work). All sources and references must be correctly cited (see information on Plagiarism ).

The search for scientific publications , like articles in journals or workshop and conference proceedings, can be supported by using search engines like TUbiblio by the ULB or Google Scholar . General statistical data can be found for example at Statista . In addition to the advice of respective supervisors, the university’s SchreibCenter  provides a broad range of support for writing a thesis.

Registration

The official start of a thesis has to be registered at the examination management office (Prüfungssekretariat) in the respective department. In some cases, Studienarbeiten must also be registered.

Students must inform themselves of the respective process and requirements for starting and registering their thesis. KOM will not undertake any verification step to see whether a student is eligible to perform a thesis. See your examination office for more information.

Examination Terms

The General Examination Terms of the Technical University of Darmstadt  ( Allgemeinen Prüfungsbestimmungen der TUD, APB ) contain the regulations for examinations and theses effective for the entire university.

This page gives only a short overview of some important topics. The  English translation  is for information purposes only. The legally binding document is the  German version . See  Rules and Regulations  for an overview of available documents.

The following passages are excerpts of the English version of the APB:

" §38 Cheating and unlawful behavior

(1) In the event that cheating or any other infringements by a student in an examination situation comes to light, this examination shall be declared “insufficient”. The respective examiner shall decide in such cases, together with the responsible examination committee in case of doubt.

(2) The submission of a false declaration according to §§22 par. 7, 23 par. 7, the submission of another author’s work, a re-working of another author’s work, or a restructuring of another work, in whole or in part, in a graded paper is considered cheating (plagiarism)."

Note : Plagiarism is cheating and not tolerated! All passages of a text that are not originally from the specified author of the text must be clearly marked as such. Every work performed at KOM—theses, seminars, labs, etc.—is checked for plagiarism. See our  information page on Plagiarism .

" §23 Final thesis

(7) The candidate must submit two printed copies of the final thesis for the examiners and one electronic version. If the thesis contains models or other material that cannot be represented in a text document, these must be submitted in an appropriate format, such as an image document. The corrected copy of the final thesis can be made part of the examination folder. All theses shall be saved electronically in the university files. The administration office will decide the details of this procedure. Upon submission of the final thesis, the candidate grants the university the right to store the thesis electronically in the State Library of Darmstadt (Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt)."

Note : Theses must be timely submitted electronically via TUbama , otherwise the thesis is immediately graded a 5.0! Furthermore, students must submit up to two written and signed copies at KOM, depending on the type of thesis and the department. Besides the general examination terms, specific regulations for each department and course of study may be applicable. Students are responsible to meet the given deadlines and also have to check that their submission meets all requirements for themselves.

• 2–4 authors = First letter of each author + Year [ABCD21]
• >4 authors = First letter of first three authors, "+", + Year [ABC+21]
• Equal abbreviations are distinguished by annotating a, b, c, and so on [ABC+21a, ABC+21b]
• Alphabetically listed sources

Students are provided a LaTeX Template for Student Theses (Steinmetz) and a LaTeX Template for Thesis Projects (Scheuermann) at KOM. Students can also find examples for good theses .

Students may write their thesis in German or English. However, we strongly encourage all students to write their thesis in English.

In addition to the electronic submission in TUbama and to the respective supervisors, students must submit up to two printed and signed copies of their thesis. The concrete number depends on the type of thesis and the department, consult your supervisor. Print version requirement

• Double-sided A4
• Glue binding (Leimbindung) with black binding
• Black back cover
• Transparent front cover sheet

Formal requirements for thesis presentations

Each thesis at KOM is completed by a final presentation with a student audience . It gives a detailed overview of the conducted work as well as the result of the thesis. The primary function of the final presentation is to provide students with the possibility to exercise the preparation of slides and presentation of their work. Therefore, each student must attend final presentations of other students as well. The final presentation is graded differently depending on the type of thesis and department.

Anmerkung für Studierende des FB 1: Der Vortrag ist kein Prüfungsgespräch.

An optional intermediate presentation providing an introduction to the topic, related work, and envisioned approach may be held for the scientific staff at KOM. It provides the students with the possibility to present and discuss their work within a small scientific audience.

Students shall use the Presentation Template (Steinmetz) or Presentation Template (Scheuermann) . The presentation should have a maximum length of 20 minutes . In case this length is exceeded, the presentation may be aborted by the supervisor. Presentation slides shall be in English . The oral presentation may be either in German or English.

The following structure of the presentation can be used as reference.

• Title slide, including student name and supervisors
• Motivation and goal of the thesis
• Possible environments, frameworks, parameters of the thesis
• Related work and available approaches to similar problems
• possible approaches to the problem
• current state, open issues
• further tasks, time plan
• applied approach to the problem
• implementation and evaluation
• result of the thesis and resolved issues
• future work, open issues, further ideas
• Conclusion of the presentation

Notes on preparing and designing presentations

(partially taken from "Mixtur für einen guten Vortrag" by Markus Roggenbach, University of Mannheim)

Number of slides:  To prevent a "slide movie", each slide should contain an adequate amount of information which results in approximately 1 – 3 minutes of presentation time for a slide.

Preparation of the talk:  Thinking is faster than talking. Loudly exercise the oral presentation beforehand so you know how long the presentation actually takes and to gain confidence in your given talk.

Design of presentation slides:  Slides should support the presentation, not replace it. Neither should the presentation slides be empty and without any information, nor should every detail be described in the slides but not used in the presentation. A common but severe mistake are remarks like: “The rest can be taken from the slides”. Usually, slides are overloaded. The audience requires a significant amount of time to conceive the previously unknown slides. Thus, slides should preprocess and comprehensibly portray the most important aspects for the presenter. The structure of content must be implemented by graphical segmentation, like using different colors and fonts or the indentations of lists or notes. A well-used graphical representation or visualization can help to easily convey complex issues. Generally speaking: a picture is worth a thousand words.

Giving the talk: To overcome initial nervosity, it is often helpful to formulate and exercise the first few sentences of the presentation. This at least saves the beginning of the talk. But beware of simply reading off from your notes! This will result in a monotonous presentation style and a dull presentation for your audience. A motivated and energetic presentation style is key for a memorable presentation. Additionally, do not read off all information from your slides. They should contain only the most important notes and no full sentences in the first place.

General hint: If Siri or Alexa could present your slides by reading the content, it is most probably not a good presentation. Another common mistake is that speakers stand in front of their slides and obstruct the audience’s view. To overcome this issue, it may help to purposely pick a spot with an adequate distance to, e.g., the projection surface. This also helps to face the audience, not the presentation slides. If you point at specific parts of a slide, keep in mind not to obstruct the view to the part you are pointing out.

Thesis topics

Modern domain decomposition methods in both space and time.

Bachelor thesis, Master thesis, Projectseminar, HiWi Position

Parallel algorithms play an increasingly vital role in both research and industry for accelerating simulations. Domain Decomposition methods (DDMs), such as nonoverlapping Schwarz or Dirichlet-Neumann/Neumann-Neumann methods, are effective approaches for introducing spatial concurrency, thereby facilitating parallel computations. When the problems under examination are not only spatially dependent but also time-dependent, waveform relaxation enhances information exchange between different time steps [2, 3]. This, in turn, enhances additional concurrency in time when combined with Parareal methods.

The objective of this project is to implement selected algorithms from the provided references and evaluate their performance using discretized benchmark problems.

Implementation of an Eigenfrequency-Based Deformation Identification for RF Cavities

Seminar paper, Bachelor thesis, Proseminar, Projectseminar

In particle accelerators, commonly multi-cell resonating structures are used, e.g. the superconducting 9-cell TESLA cavity. Such devices are manufactured from niobium sheets which are deep-drawn and welded together. During this welding process, misalignment occurs at the joints of the individual components, which leads to deviations from the desired eigenfrequencies and field patters, which negatively influences the accelerating performance of the electromagnetic cavities.

In order to quantify these uncertainties,700 observations are available from measurements at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) and found seven uncorrelated deformation variables to describe the cell misalignment.

The purpose of this thesis is to develop an optimization algorithm which allows for conclusions from the measured eigenfrequencies to the deformations of the cavity under consideration. To this end, the closed-form sensitivities with respect to the deformation variables should be used. Using these, an efficient optimization routine should be implemented to identify the misalignment.

Development of a Stream Function Approach for Accelerator Magnet Design using the Bembel C++ Library

Bachelor thesis

The determination of optimal current distributions on given surfaces is often the starting point for the electromagnetic design of coil dominated electromagnets utilized, e.g. in particle accelerators and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Geometrical and mechanical constraints as well as the particle beam size determine the coil winding surface, on which an optimal current density is to be determined.

In this Bachelor thesis, a stream function approach for the determination of optimal current densities on given surfaces shall be developed and implemented in Bembel, the BEM-based engineering library, see www.bembel.eu . The goal is an automated generation of winding paths, on given surfaces and field quality requirements.

Algorithm comparison for the determination of toroidal harmonics

The classical way of expressing the field uniformity in accelerator magnets is by means of the Fourier coefficients of the trigonometric eigenfunctions of the Laplace equation also known as multipoles. When the magnets are curved (Fig. 1), higher-order terms appear and the scaling laws derived for straight magnets are no more applicable. The field reconstruction from field simulations or magnetic measurements should therefore be based on the eigenfunctions of the Laplace equation in the toroidal coordinate system, so called toroidal harmonics.

TU Darmstadt, together with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) formulated a linear inverse problem to determine the toroidal harmonics from the magnetic flux density.

In this thesis, different algorithms to solve this inverse problem shall be studied and compared on magnetic flux density measurements.

Axisymmetric Finite Element Models of No-Insulation High-Temperature Superconducting Coils

Bachelor thesis, Master thesis, Projectseminar

High-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials are a promising technology for high-field magnets in particle accelerators. In particular, no-insulation (NI) coils, i.e., coils wound without turn-to-turn insulation, have gained popularity due to their robustness [1]. Numerical methods such as the finite element (FE) method play a key role in developing HTS-based applications. The objective of this project is to extend CERN’s existing open-source Finite Element Quench Simulation (FiQuS) framework with 2D axisymmetric FE models of NI coils [2]. Since they are more efficient but less general than existing 3D models, they will complement the latter as an important tool in FiQuS to analyze NI coils. Following FiQuS’s ideals, a key aspect will be to hide the complexities CERN of the FE formulation from the users who are typically not FE experts.

Circuit Coupling for CERN’s Finite Element Quench Simulation (FiQuS) Framework

CERN started a project last year to build a comprehensive open-source quench simulation tool called FiQuS (Finite Element Quench Simulation). It is based on the finite element (FE) framework ONELAB and written mostly in Python. The idea is to build a flexible tool which allows users to build and simulate complex models from human-readable inputs hiding the complexity of the FE kernel. In order to simulate real-world accelerator magnet circuits, this project aims at coupling FE magnet models from FiQuS with electric circuits [1], which can then be solved by circuit simulators such as Xyce. A key aspect will be to hide the complexities of this coupling from the users who are typically not FE experts.

Directional H2-Matrices for High-Frequency Electromagnetics

Master thesis

Solving partial differential equations numerically with boundary element methods requires the application of fast methods to be competitive with other numerical methods. At high-frequencies, the existing implementation of H2-matrices breaks down and needs to be adapted in order to work efficiently.

The idea of the approach is to approximate a spherical wave in far distance hierarchically by plane waves. The implementation is carried out in the C++ library Bembel, see www.bembel.eu .

Gradient-Based Optimization of Electric Machines with Analytic Sensitivities and Isogeometric Analysis

Electric energy conversion is a key issue on the way to decarbonization. Computational design and optimization of electric motors is a very active research area with the aim to increase the efficiency and power density of electric drives. Yet, optimization in commercial solvers is often performed using time-consuming methods such as surrogates or genetic algorithms, taking days or weeks for one optimization.

This work combines the modeling of the motor using Isogeometric Analysis (IGA), which allows to exactly represent the geometry, with fast gradient based optimization. By using present state-of-the-art numerical modeling techniques together with efficient optimization algorithms, it is possible to reduce the optimization time to several minutes.

Magneto-Mechanical Coupling of an Electric Motor with Isogeometric Finite Elements

The need for higher energy efficiency and decarbonization give rise to a steadily increasing importance of electric drives. Simulations allow the physical limits to be pushed in order to increase the power density and make motors more cost-efficient. This work aims to investigate the influence of mechanical stresses in electric motors on the electromagnetic behavior and find out how stress dependent material properties can be mitigated or exploited. Simulations are performed in an Finite Element (FE) framework using Isogeometric Analysis (IGA), which allows to exactly represent the geometry. This enables an efficient coupling of the geometric, magnetic and mechanical systems.

Importance Sampling for Failure Probability Estimation

Seminar paper, Bachelor thesis, Master thesis, Projectseminar

Deviations in the manufacturing process of electronic components may lead to rejections due to malfunctioning. Uncertain design parameters (i.e. geometrical and material parameters) can be modeled as random variables. Then, the failure probability of a realization can be estimated. A standard approach for estimating failure probabilities is a Monte Carlo analysis. In a Monte Carlo analysis a large number of sample points is generated according to a given probability distribution. The percentage of sample points not fulfilling some predefined performance feature specifications denotes the failure probability. In order to obtain a reliable estimation, a large number of sample points is required. This leads to high computing costs, since for each sample point a PDE must be solved, e.g. with the finite element method (FEM). Current research deals with the reduction of computational effort. Importance sampling is an approach to reduce the number of FEM evaluations by generating sample points in critical regions with a higher probability.

Robust Shape Optimization of Electric Machines

Bachelor thesis, Master thesis

Due to the growing importance of e-mobility, the efficient simulation and optimization of electric energy converters, in particular electric machines, is becoming increasingly important. In the manufacturing process of these electric machines imperfections and small deviations from the nominal design can occur. In the worst case, these imperfections can lead to a significant decrease in quality or even failure of the machine. To avoid this, the machine can be optimized robustly, i.e., considering the deviations in the machine design. Robust optimization aims to find a machine design which is robust in terms of deviations from the nominal design, i.e., to find an optimum in terms of a goal function J which does not deteriorate significantly for small changes in the design parameters p , compare Fig. 2. In this project an electric machine is simulated using isogeometric analysis and the shape of the machine shall be optimized robustly considering uncertainties, using uncertainty quantification methods like the Monte Carlo method.

Optimization

Master Theses

Master theses in discrete optimization.

A Master Thesis in the field Discrete Optimization deals with specific questions coming from integer programming, graph theory or topics on polyhedra. It aims at independently analyzing mathematical properties of optimization algorithms or their underlying structures.

For planning the thesis, the following steps are crucial. In a first meeting, student and professor agree on a topic. Subsequently, the student has 4-6 weeks time to read up on the subject and to search the literature. Then the thesis is formally registered in the office of student affairs. A TeX-template is available in the Downloads section of the department’s website. Alternatively, you can use the template of the course “ Arbeitstechniken ” from winter term 2015/16. While writing the thesis it is strongly recommended to keep contact with your supervisor at least once per month. Approximately one month before submission you should meet with your supervisor!
