If you are interested in topics related to smartphone and browser privacy (mostly from an end-user perspective) feel free to reach out to me! I am happy to discuss with you about your ideas :)

If you already have a specific idea we will try to shape that into a thesis topic. Otherwise, we will fetch one from our own topic pool.

Topics might include:

  • Reverse Engineering of interesting or weird smartphone features.
  • Measuring the prevalence of (anti-)tracking features in current browsers.
  • Analyzing the advertisement ecosystem.
  • ...

Prerequisites depend on the kind of topic you choose, but in general it is highly recommended for you to bring some knowledge about your respective thesis topic and a good amount of motivation.

We currently get a lot of requests for this topic area and I can only offer new theses at the end of the winter term. Please contact me only if you have a very specific topic in mind. Otherwise, please use our thesis application form.
