Students

Before contacting me

When contacting me about a BSP or thesis, please make sure that you can provide the following information and that you are aware of the following requirements:

• Have an idea in mind. When contacting me for a BSP or thesis, you should already have a concrete idea of what you would like to work on. If you do not have a specific project idea yet, you should at least have a clear understanding of the research areas or topics you are interested in.
• State your academic progress. Please include your current average grade and specify which semester you are currently in.
• For theses: please also indicate how many exams you still have to complete.
• Keep track of administrative deadlines. You are responsible for being aware of and respecting all relevant university deadlines and administrative requirements. I cannot keep track of these deadlines on your behalf.
• Appointments. If you cannot attend a scheduled meeting for any reason, please notify me as soon as possible, preferably at least one day in advance.
• No remote supervision. I do not supervise BSPs or theses remotely. Supervision requires students to be able to meet in person.
• Use of AI. I cannot prevent you to use GenAI tools, so at least use them properly and add an AI disclosure. I strongly suggest the reading "Thinking--Fast, Slow, and Artificial" before any use of LLMs.
