Students

Are you a motivated student that wants to do a Master or Bachelor Thesis? If yes, below are some thesis topics I offer. The legend [Mathematics-Statistics-Theory | Computing | Applications] represents an approximation of the percentage of each area in the thesis. The topics that can be adapted to be done at either Master or Bachelor level are listed in both sections. Some offers could lead to a scientific publication.

If you are interested in pursuing any of these topics, then get in contact providing your academic records.

Some Master/Bachelor Theses already supervised

Here is an incomplete list of some Master and Bachelor theses that I have supervised in the past. The list gives an idea of potential topics I would be interested in exploring under new perspectives.

~~Generative modeling through diffusions [30|50|20]~~
~~Density estimation via normalizing flows [30|60|10]~~
~~Two interdisciplinary thesis proposals in aerospace engineering within the INFLUENTIA project (with Marco Raiola) [10|30|60]~~
~~Inferring the optimal exercise boundary of an American option (with Abel Guada Azze) [20|50|30]~~
~~Optimal stopping of an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck bridge, with applications in mathematical finance (with Abel Guada Azze) [20|50|30]~~
