Possible Thesis Topics

You can write the following theses with me currently (Summer Term 2025). Most of the topics are suitable for either master's or bachelor's theses, but they will vary in workload. The theses are also available for German students and can also be written in German.

• Post Darknet Marketplaces
  • There are tools and networks that are used by cybercriminals beyond Tor. Understanding how these marketplaces work and what kind of use they fulfill for the underground economy are key aspects of this line of research.
• Flood of Information
  • How can we deal with the varying degrees of trust in information around us daily? Especially with LLMs on the rise, the amount of possible information can seem overwhelming. In these works, we try to understand better the mechanisms and principles behind different information outlets and what we can learn to better deal with modern-day challenges.
• Modern Approaches to Teaching at Universities of Applied Sciences
  • Universities of Applied Sciences are places where knowledge is applied. With LLMs and generative AI increasingly coming into our academic lives, we must consider how to use them in a teaching setting. In this work, we will explore modern approaches to teaching and try to come up with solutions for this challenging topic.
• Cybersecurity Awareness
  • How can cybersecurity awareness be measured on standardized scales? What literature is there regarding this topic? Which tools and frameworks are regularly used, and how can they be combined to form a holistic measure of cybersecurity awareness within an organization?

I am also open to the topic that you bring to me. If you are interested in any of these topics, please write me an email and we can discuss how we proceed.
