Student Projects & Theses
We offer student projects and theses (Bachelor, Master, semester) that are closely integrated with our research activities in urban energy systems. Projects typically involve data analysis, modeling, simulation, or concept development and are designed to contribute meaningfully to ongoing work in our lab.
Open topics
Our open project topics are typically published on SiROP, so we would invite you to search for our topics there.
Currently, we have the following thesis projects available:
- 📌 Demand-Side Flexibility Allocation for Buildings: An Optimization-Based Approach
- 📌 System Integration and Optimization of Wind Energy Potentials in Switzerland
If you do not find something that fits your interest, feel free to reach out with your own idea — we are open to discussing tailored topics.
How to apply
If you are interested in doing a project with us, please contact the relevant supervisor listed in the topic description, reach out to our Lab's Group Leaders, or directly to our Lab Head:
Contact: Dr. Georgios Mavromatidis
When you write to us, it helps if you include a short motivation statement, your CV, and your university's transcript of records.
Selection of past student projects in our Laboratory
Energy flow analysis in a neighborhood-scale heat pump system (Master Thesis)
Analyzed and optimized heat pump operation in a district using real data. Focus on modeling, control, and seasonal performance.
Developing a building energy model using CESAR-P (Semester Project)
Simulated the energy performance of a building archetype using CESAR-P and tested passive cooling scenarios.
Life-cycle emissions of synthetic fuels in urban energy systems (Bachelor Thesis)
Evaluated the GHG performance of synthetic fuels compared to conventional alternatives in an urban context.
