Students Projects:

The High-Speed Optical Communications group welcomes students desiring to work in a stimulating environment. We offer projects covering a variety of topics. Whether you are interested in a Master project, a Bachelor project, a special course or a project in a 3-week period, please fell free to . We can define together a project at the forefront of our research activities while taking into account your own interests. We usually define new projects together with the interested students. In this way we ensure that both parties share a common interest, which usually turns out to be beneficial for both the student and our research group. In a certain number of cases we might also propose some pre-defined projects. These are listed below. These proposals are of course open for discussion. Please do not hesitate to contact us in case you are interested in a project and want more details.
For your inspiration you can consult a list of past and on-going projects. 

• Recent master of science projects
• Recent special courses
