Our group includes PostDocs, PhD students, and student assistants, and is headed by Prof. Felix Naumann. If you are interested in joining our team, please contact Felix Naumann.

For bachelor students we offer German lectures on database systems in addition with paper- or project-oriented seminars. Within a one-year bachelor project students finalize their studies in cooperation with external partners. For master students we offer courses on information integration, data profiling, search engines and information retrieval enhanced by specialized seminars, master projects and advised master theses.

Most of our research is conducted in the context of larger research projects, in collaboration across students, across groups, and across universities. We strive to make available most of our data sets and source code.

Open theses

The information systems group is always looking for good master students to write master's theses.

Please note that the list below is only a small sample of possible thesis topics and ideas. Please contact us to discuss further, to find new topics, or to suggest a topic of your own.

For more information about writing a master's theses in our group, please see here.
