Overview

Assignment of theses

The final theses in the AG Riehle are usually not pure literature theses but include the development of small prototypes or the collection and analysis of data. Below you will find a list of suggested topics. It is also possible to submit your own topic suggestions, as long as they can be assigned to one of the following topics:

Sensors and Internet-of-Things (LoRa, etc.)
Cloud architectures (IT infrastructures, virtualization, orchestration, etc.)
Data management and data analytics

Please refrain from inquiries that cannot be assigned to any of the above areas.

Enhancing IoT Data Accuracy through Sensor Data Fusion in Data Platforms

For: Master

In the Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, large networks of sensors collect data that drive crucial insights and decisions. However, the reliability of this data can be compromised due to environmental noise, sensor drift, or hardware inconsistencies. Sensor data fusion—the process of combining data from multiple sensors—can help overcome these challenges by producing a more accurate, consistent, and reliable estimation of the monitored system. The objective of this thesis is to develop a robust mechanism to fuse sensor data, focusing on techniques that validate and enhance data accuracy. By applying sensor fusion techniques, the aim is to design a system that improves data reliability in dynamic IoT environments, creating the basis for smarter, data-driven systems.

Application for a topic

Please proceed as follows when applying for thesis supervision:

Contact the respective tutor responsible for your topic via e-mail.
Briefly explain your motivation for the targeted topic.
In the attachment to your e-mail, send an excerpt of your previous academic achievements so that we can see which subjects you have successfully completed.
Indicate the date when you would like to write the thesis (from/until).

We will be happy to explain the detailed terms of reference to you in a personal meeting afterwards. Please note: A condition for supervision is the acceptance of a research proposal written by you. You will receive the necessary assistance from your chosen tutor.

Templates

Research proposal

For all theses, a research proposal according to our template must be submitted before starting the work. Please send this proposal to your tutor for approval.

Research proposal template for theses

The research proposal is divided into the sections "Motivation of the thesis", "Formulation of objectives" and "Methodological approach". The proposal should already be provided with several literature sources, especially in the area of motivation, and should consist of a total of 1-2 pages of text.

Writing the thesis

The processing time for your thesis can be found in your examination regulations; as a rule, this is six months. When writing your thesis, you must adhere to the layout guidelines of our working group, for which we will provide you with appropriate templates:
