Open Thesis Topics

I'm looking for motivated Bachelor and Master students with an interest in Human-Computer Interaction to work on thesis projects. Research areas include fabrication, qualitative analysis, and hardware/software development. I value students who have an idea of research methods, are curious, and genuinely interested in HCI-related topics. If you're passionate about understanding how people interact with technology and want to contribute to meaningful research, I'd love to hear from you.

Student Resources

  • HX Lab - Our lab is available during open hours throughout the semester for student projects. A short introduction is required before use. The lab is equipped for all things fabrication.
  • Research Methods Library - We have a collection of books on interviewing and qualitative methods available for student use.
