Note for students:

 

Please find our list of potential thesis topics and see our posters on ATLAS and DECAL. If you are interested to perform your thesis on the DECAL project, please contact Prof. Issever or Prof. Worm. For studies with ATLAS, contact Prof. Issever or Dr. Leitgeb.

If you are interested in internships (either as high school or university/college student) within our group, please contact Dr. Leitgeb or Dr. Schwanke.
