We will offer both seminars (Bachelor’s and Master’s) in Winter 2025/26, together with Prof. Deßloch’s group.
Find some general information below:
To attend this seminar, students need to register according to the registration procedure. Starting this semester, the registration process will be managed in a centralized manner for all of the CS department’s seminars, via OLAT courses. The assignment will of course reflect your specialization, prerequisite lectures (see below), and seminar wishes. You can find the password for the OLAT courses in the email the department sent you. The registration deadline is October 9th.
Once you get selected for our seminar, you will be able to select a research paper from a list of papers we provide. Each student needs to be present their paper in a 45min talk at the end of the semester. Finally, also a short report about the presented paper needs to be submitted, the latest two weeks after the presentation. More information will be provided in the kickoff meeting.
The kickoff meeting will take place on the 24th October at 14:00 in room 36-336!
Remember the following deadlines if you got a slot in the seminar:
