There are no open projects at the moment. Sorry!
Supervisors
We offer a number of possible student projects within our lensing group. The projects would be co-supervised by Prof. Dr. Peter Schneider and myself. If you are interested in a project, please contact psimon[at]astro.uni-bonn.de or visit us at the AIfA.
We have
- Bachelor thesis projects;
- Master thesis projects;
- Doctoral thesis projects.
Stroked out projects are no longer available.
A list of former projects can be found here.

Past projects
This is a list of student projects I have co-supervised in the past. The student's names are only given as initials for privacy reasons. If you would like to contact one of the students to talk about their experience in our group, please let me know.
