AIMS Acoustic Instrumentation and Measurement Systems

For students

Projects, thesis topics and work completed with us.

Explore current semester projects and thesis opportunities in acoustic sensing, signal processing and embedded systems. You can also browse selected theses already completed with the group.

Available topics

Choose a project that matches your interests. Semester projects often continue as bachelor's or master's theses.

BProj/MProj = bachelor's/master's project, BT/MT = bachelor's/master's thesis. A project usually precedes the thesis, which then typically builds on it.
